I have this to read (very soon I hope!). Thank you for whetting my appetite so perfectly!

Cornflower

I do hope you'll enjoy it - its roots are in a lot of books/genres, and understated it is certainly not, but I found it over the top in a wonderful way!

I did enjoy this when I read it last year but I did have to re-read the final bit to work out what had actually happened and make sure I hadn't missed a bit.
Certainly a change from her previous books!
(didn't make it far enough into Our Horses in Egypt to be able to judge - far too upsetting for someone as sentimental as I am!)

Cornflower

Yes, the pace is quite fast and you do have to keep your wits about you!
