'Fay McLeod and Tom Avery are likable souls: kind to their parents, close to friends and co-workers, dedicated to their professions (she's a folklorist, he's a radio talk show host). But thus far both have been unlucky in love. Fay has never married; Tom has married and divorced rather too often. Participating on the periphery of lives of married friends has begun to pall. They finally meet, and it is a coup de foudre for both, but Fay is leaving that night for a month of mermaid research in Europe. Even when she returns, their affair is jeopardized by upheavals in others' lives. Can a woman of letters find happiness with a spokesman for the commonplace? Stay tuned! This is a most satisfying book, with dimensions of character, details of plot, and insights into contemporary life that sustain reader interest throughout.'

As an avid reader I was tempted to take a book to the tennis, just in case I was bored. But I didn't. So it was to my great surprise that I caught this book. I'm sure the releasor was hoping it would go to some far off exotic locale. Unfortunately it made the long trip from Spotswood to Yarraville (about 1km).
The Republic of Love would not generally be my type of book, but it was very well written and I enjoyed it. And I guess that's the whole point of bookcrossing.com.
THANK YOU
