There were some things about this book I loved, but a couple of things let it down for me.

This is a good read but it's a bit big and could be a little confusing- best read when you've regular reading time and not too many distractions!

I loved this book about a man saving the scrapings of bookish meals, plating them up beautifully and serving them as 'nuvelle cuisine'.

Honestly? I got this book for the title - my best beloved older sister has a farm called Skylark Farm! I only had the cover to go on - it looks pretty twee but sometimes we all need a bit of escapism so I thought I'd give it a go! It didn't convert me to the genre, (and my sister's farm is better - it has goats!) but it gave me a bit of light relief.

Chasing the North Star | Robert Morgan

"In the heat and dirt of the Williams Place, the newspapers were an inky threshold where he could enter a landscape that reached to the North Pole and to other times and people he‘d never heard a whisper about before."

The Witch of Napoli: A Novel | Michael Schmicker

This won the 2015 BRAG Medallion award for Historical Fiction (awarded to indie authors / self published etc) So far it's a good read :)

Finished this the other day. LOVED it so much, straight into my top ten books!
It's the story of a beaten down woman who sees the future and finds a way to fight back.
Re-released classic

GinaAnderson Sounds like my kind of book. 8y
Makatma I love Piercy's poetry, but I have yet to read one of her novels. I'll put it on my list! 8y

Vera is the 17. The daughter of a Russian Jew & a lapsed Catholic. She's insightful, intelligent & recovering from a breakdown. Her dad takes her to Lithuania hoping to connect with her & help her adjust to her diagnosis. Both the main characters are instantly intriguing & sympathetic. Great descriptions of Vilnius.
