Star!

   

     Breaking news: a poll to find the most romantic novel of the last fifty years has been conducted by Woman's Weekly in conjunction with the Romantic Novelists' Association. The results were announced this morning, and the runners up are Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance and Trisha Ashley's Every Woman for Herself, but I'm delighted to see that the winner is the wonderful Star Gazing by Linda Gillard!

    I'm not sure how many times I've written about Linda's novel - there was the original post and subsequent mentions when it was up for various awards, but it's a super book, enormously enjoyable, and I'm so pleased that it and its creator are getting some of the recognition they deserve. Congratulations, Linda!

Edited on Friday to add: do read Linda's comment on this post, and you may also like to visit the RNA website which has only today mentioned her win.
