I am now reading "My Dear I wanted to tell you" by Louisa Young set in the 1st world war........

Have to say I was taken with this book straight away....It has had great reviews so looking forward to enjoying the rest of it :-)

Will have a look Ann.

In the Swan thieves there is quite a lot of facts re art and artists such as the impressionists etc.

Hi Ann, well I thought it was just me but am not struck on this one.

Am interested in fact more than fiction, but can enjoy half and half
in a book, so would appreciate any help re authors in this style.

Emma I don't think i enjoyed the white queen as much as some of the others if I remember.


I have just read The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. A wonderful book (in my opinion) especially if you are interested in paintings and psychology. Not a thriller, more of a 'why did he do it?' I didn't want to put it down or finish it. :-)

OH has just found an author's books he used to read
years ago when he was in the army. He recommends
these to any male reader/female who enjoys this type
of subject, the author is Sven Hassel.

hello Mersey, your thread caught my eye as i have just finished The girl on the cliff by Lucinda Riley. It was excellent. Have you read it?

Reading The White Queen by P. Gregory and am not
enjoying it as much as the others I have read of hers.

Maybe have over dosed on this author.

Morning All
I have just started 'The King of Torts' by John Grisham
and it is in true Grisham style, crime without too much blood and gore. I have read alot of his books, which I usually get his books from a charity shop, and this one was from the British Heart Foundation shop. They always put in a bookmarker also.
