Thrown: SARA COX'S GLORIOUS FEELGOOD NOVEL

Product Information

My only sight criticism is it was a little predictable at times but it was such a fun read I didn’t mind that too much.

On the Inventor's Estate (so called because the streets are named after inventors) the local community centre is starting a pottery class. The story centres around four women who are all changed by this event. Friendships are made, lives go through their ups & downs & at the end of the course they have all been made into someone that bit different. This was an enjoyable and warm novel about the lives of 4 different women who all live on an estate and attend a pottery class. I loved the way the women formed friendships and supported each other although they were very different. The story centres around four women who attend the local community centre for a pottery class. They all have problems. The characters are likeable, interesting and believable. A story of friendships, that are heartwarming and funny. This enjoyable read held my attention throughout.On 1 July 2022, it was announced that, in September, Cox would extend her drivetime show by an hour to run from 4–7pm to coincide with Scott Mills joining the station on a permanent basis to present from 2–4pm. [19] Television [ edit ] The themes here are generally cuddly and inoffensive, whether it’s starting a new career later in life, cross-generational bonding, female solidarity, or learning to better understand and support your partner. But the method of delivery, with its predictable contrivances, suspicions and miscommunications, is soapier than a bubble bath, and about as somniferous. Thrown never ascends beyond the level of a potboiler. In March 2019 her book Till the Cows Come Home: A Lancashire Childhood, a memoir of growing up in 1980s Lancashire, was published by Coronet Books. [34] Sara Cox has used her experience presenting The Pottery Throw Down to produce this great book about a group of strangers brought together by a pottery class at their local community centre.

Cox is committed to protecting the environment. In 2009 she joined the 10:10 project in a bid to help her reduce her carbon footprint. She explained that, as she was brought up on a farm, she has no problem wearing extra layers instead of turning up the thermostat. Giving up meat was for her a different story, however, saying: "My dad is a beef farmer so he wouldn't be best pleased. I tried going veggie once, but it lasted about four hours." [41] I would definitely recommend this as a lovely light hearted read and am looking forward to reading more from the author in the future. Jameela: all she's ever done is work hard, and try her best. Why won't life give her the one thing she really wants?He sat up – ‘I’d like,’ he said, slowly stroking his chin as if about to reveal an earth-shattering prophecy ‘to get this beauty into position before unwrapping her.’ The metaphor of pottery is perfect for Thrown. Not only do many characters find themselves thrown by events, but they themselves are like the items made in the community centre. Some are more perfect than others. Many have flaws. Some are broken and every single person is unique. What I found so successful too, is the fact that at the end of the book, not every single plot element is resolved; just like real life not everyone gets a happy ending or knows exactly what will happen next. The bra wire was currently jabbing her left breast every time she breathed in and, today of all days, she’d need to take some deep breaths. Cox, Sara (7 March 2019).

The actual pottery kiln, the clay and the endless equipment needed is huge as the nervous potters-to-be begin their task. Their friendships begin to blossom as they learn, and draw upon the strengths of each other, and I did like the journey of the women as they followed the throwing, moulding and firing of their pots. It highlighted their joy and inspiration as they learned their new art. I have to say that the skill of potting was described really well (Cox hosted the TV programme The Great Pottery Throw Down) and, although I have never been a dab hand at it, I almost wanted to give it a go. “Sensitively done” Willis, Tania (17 February 2015).
