I don't want to encourage spoilers or discussion of the book in advance of book group...

...but I though that people might be interested in some articles that the BBC has on its website about it. It's just won the Orange Prize, and there are some (quite varied) press reviews.

What I want to know is, how did she get a name like Lionel?

Says in a BBC article - "Shriver, 48, changed her name to Lionel from Margaret Ann aged 15 because she thought men had an easier life."

... and has never regretted it since?
