Wow--now this is a serious recommendation! It isn't being published in teh US until the end of June. Do I dare wait or break down and order it now from the UK?! When I skimmed the description a while back I thought it might not appeal to me, but your post makes me think the subject doesn't matter and I should read it anyway!

Danielle

Oh, no, it's not yet been published there either. I have no choice but to be patient now! ;)

Cornflower

Not too long to wait, Danielle! I was gripped by it right from the start and found the whole thing fascinating and so well done.

Danielle

I think I will break down and order it from TBD--and it isn't as though I have nothing else to read in the interim....you've piqued my curiosity now, so there is no turning back! :)

Cornflower

Last night I gave it to my husband to read, and he's now almost half way through and loving it - he doesn't want to put it down!

Would cats be enthralled too? P xx

Cornflower

They might well!

This is my book of the year so far. I was just immersed in the cultures and loved every single page.
