The Gropes by Tom SharpeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Book by Tom Sharpe is starts well then slows down for a while and then picks up the speed in middle.
The Story is about Gropes, a Northumberland matriarchy. its origins back to an encounter between a seasick Viking deserter and an unattractive nun rejected by the rapers. After an unpromising start, the Grope women have ensured the centuries-long domination of the Grope women by means of kidnap, forced matrimony. occasionally they allow their women to go out and marry and stay in the cities. one such girl is Belinda. Belinda after marrying to a city guy comes back to the grope hall with Esmond, with intent to marry him. and, the story unfolds. there are many things that happen to the parents of Esmond and his uncle. the book is full of events.
Overall the book is OK.
