Product Description

Product Description

Alice, Mavis and Gabs are three very different women who share one very big secret. Having fallen foul of the Catholic church (and the euphemistically-named "Basic Theology" classes designed to direct them back into the fold), they decide to carry on with their own monthly meetings (not to mention their nefarious goings-on). This novel follows their lives during a year in which all three experience both change and tragedy, for as everyone knows, life does not always go according to plan, and the path of true (and not so true) love can prove to be fraught with difficulties...

Frances Garrood's third novel is a funny, heartwarming and enjoyable journey into the lives of three very different women who learn that real friendship does not come from the things we have in common, but from the secrets we learn to share.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, humorous - great book group read 29 Aug 2012
By Deborah Swift VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Like real people it took me a little while to get to know Gabs, Mavis and Alice who are all women having affairs. None of them appear very likeable at the beginning. Like me, they are wary of each other when they first meet at the Basic Theology group, and at first I wondered, as they did, if I would warm to them. But as their confidences spilled out to each other and the reader, I became totally involved with their lives until by the end I was completely gripped.For me this is a more satisfactory read as it mirrors the way we interact with real people and my relationship with the characters is deeper for it.

At times this book is very funny - Mavis's elderly mother's vicious cat for example, had me laughing out loud, but at other times it is poignant and touching. Frances Garrood writes about relationships with truth and insight - not just romantic relationships, but also the tensions that run in families. The male characters are fully rounded individuals and you feel their difficulties as much as the women's. This would make a fantastic book group read with plenty to discuss.Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect holiday read 27 Aug 2012
By E. A. Graham
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Three very different women. Three very different adulterous relationships. But Gabs, Alice and Mavis are brought together as a kind of experiment by a Catholic priest. Things do not work out as he might have wished, but there are plenty of laughs, tears and mishaps in store. Great summer read with echoes of Jilly Cooper in its deft observations of sex, but with a moving insistnce on the importance of female friendships.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down! 27 Aug 2012
By Ali
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Basic Theology for Fallen Women is an absolutely wonderful book - a really enjoyable and amusing canter through the lives of three adultering women. I instantly loved Alice, Mavis and Gabs - the three heroines - and couldn't put the book down until I found out what happened at the end of each of their three (rather messed up) relationships. A funny and very clever take on love and infidelity. A great read!
