I think most people would have run the other way if they thought someone had completely fabricated a life for them.<br /><br />Alice - it really was a lovely book.<br /><br />Eva - I am really sorry that your library don't have any of these delightful books. I have struggled recently to get hold of books that I want from our library too. Normally American books are hard to get.<br /><br />Petty Witter - Woolies, now there is a company I really do miss. I didn't realise how much I used it until it went.<br /><br />Molly - the title is fabulous!<br /><br />Carmen, Diane and Amanda - I can highly recommend it.<br /><br />Kathy - I am beginning to really enjoy these books from the past.<br /><br />Kim - I hope you get it soon.<br /><br />Aarti - I want to read Mrs Hargreaves soon.<br /><br />Caitlin - I think you would enjoy this one.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-36718517200452061732010-03-10T20:37:10.639+00:002010-03-10T20:37:10.639+00:00Nice review.

I thought it was so sweet how they were so protective of Sheil, and how the Judge "got it" too and tried his best not to let her down.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
