Sorry, I usually don't take this long to respond to comments.<BR/><BR/>Carrie, exactly!<BR/><BR/>Karen, I think a story set in one's hometown is always more endearing, somehow. <BR/><BR/>Fay, I emailed you - I loved the book you mentioned.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lisa, I do too!<BR/><BR/>Simon, no, I haven't seen Lady Rose...much around the blogs, though it is one on my wishlist.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-85896739247918575852008-06-21T04:29:00.000-05:002008-06-21T04:29:00.000-05:00That sounds really interesting - can't remember if...That sounds really interesting - can't remember if it's one of the Persephones I've got. Reminds me a little of Lady Rose and Mrs. Memmary, also Persephone (but not a big blog classic, as far as I can tell).StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-88152071883343923192008-06-20T15:10:00.000-05:002008-06-20T15:10:00.000-05:00This sounds good.
