And it is currently on my "unread" shelves (along with "The Colour")! O frabjous day! Maybe I will bump it up the queue....

I hate when I've read every book by a favorite author and then have to wait for them to publish again! Gavin: I hope you love The Road Home - can't wait to read your review! Cass: Well I'm a little OCD that way *laughing* Actually this was really a fun post to put together. Hope you'll enjoy The Colour! Nicole: Hope you'll have time someday to check out one of her books :) Aarti: Sorry to hear you gave up on The Colour - I agree the male character was a pill...but the female character in that book really resonated with me. Hope you'll like Music and Silence better - it is a really different book than The Colour. EH: Thanks! I love when I find an author whose books just pull me in...Tremain is one of many for me :) I also LOVE Margaret Atwood. Jackie: Can't wait to see your review of Trepass - I know I want to read that one soon. I also know what you mean about reading too many books by the same author in a row. I like to spread them out :) Lesley: Well I've only read three books by her so far...and my favorite so far (and perhaps the most accessible for most readers) would be The Road Home...so that would be my recommendation :) Iris: If you LOVE historical fiction - Music and Silence is a great first choice. But as I mentioned to Lesley, my favorite by Tremain so far is The Road Home...although I would classify that more on the Literary Genre end of the scale.

The other ones as well, but this one in particular caught my eye. Or is there any other book by her I should really read first?

So with that little confession out of the way, if you were to choose just one book by her that you've read as THE book people should read (or at least hte first one) which would it be?

I have heard wonderful things about so many of her others, but don't like reading too many books by the same author in a row. I plan to read The Trespass soon and then get on to her other novels later. Great post! I own almost all of her novels but so far I have only read The Road Home.

I just didn't find the male character in the least bit ok and had no desire to spend time with him. I have Music and Silence (somewhere, I think), but haven't tried it yet.
