I own the Kashmir Shawl and like to read it at least once a year; it is one of those books that will never leave me.

I gave The Jewel Garden to my daughter, after I had speed-read it. Frankly, anything by Mr Don is good, in my eyes. It seems that we are in accord.

Sue Cuthbert

Loved the Kashmir Shawl, must try some of her other books.
Monty Don always seems to have more hours in his day than normal folk!

Mystica

I liked The Kashmir Shawl very much myself . I love those colonial setting stories.

Cornflower

Yes!

Cornflower

He does, doesn't he? I know he has help with the garden, but even so ....

Mary

Sadly, The Kashmir Shawl sale wasn't available on Kindle in US. But, it is avaialble at a local library, so will have to pick it up one of these days.

Cornflower

That's good. I hope you'll enjoy it, Mary.

Before I pop over to Amazon must say how much I enjoy Rosie Thomas. Along with Victoria Hissop I love her novels as they both so obviously research well.

Cornflower

It has a very strong sense of place, doesn't it?

Cornflower

Yes, they do.
