pickI adore Rose Tremain‘s novels. I can‘t recall how I first learned about her, but I have been reading her for many years. This one is set in the 1980s in a small French village. A cast of excellently drawn characters navigate their way through life. Perfection 👏😍🙏

pick4⭐️ I like Celia Dale; I‘m already collecting her other titles published by Daunt Books. This one here is so refreshing. A gentle crime novel that is not too creepy, just a tad disturbing. How did she do that? I love it!
Leni is reminding me of another grumpy old woman character that I am fond of. 😂
Any other fans of Rose Tremain out there?

Celebrating Indie Bookstore Day: purchased Blue Ruin for this year‘s Tournament of Favorites and they gave me the Supersonic. Posing in front of a pretty mural across the street from my next stop (which isn‘t open yet! 🤨) #ibd #indiebookstoreday
pickAnother great read from Celia. I couldn‘t put this down.. Grace and Janice meet in prison , when they are released they team up and make their living visiting old ladies. There‘s a bit of romance thrown in too .. and the result is a compelling story. I loved it ! The more I read her , the more I like her. I must get another one for my shelf.
Thankyou Trish for the gift of this book ❤️👌🏻
N. B. The book is not, 700 pages. It‘s about 300.
pickThankyou Leah. Celia Dale knows how to tell a suspenseful dark tale. This seemed darker to me than the others we‘ve read ( or maybe it‘s just me ). I loved all the details of 1970‘s life in this London house and three well designed characters. I really enjoyed this. 👌🏻❤️🖤
Just settling in with this one. Perfection…
It‘s an overcast rainy evening and a stranger has knocked on the door, the lady has taken pity on him and let him in … she‘s making tea … suspense from the first page! I love it. @LeahBergen
so-soThis novel about generational drama I found uneven. The story in London was more compelling to me than the "Then" part set in Australia. Just did not work for me. 2.5 ?
