Dear Reader

That way our book will be on an adventurous journey which we can follow as it gets passed along.

If you're in Colchester bookcrossers meet up once a month on the third Thursday at 7pm. Venue Fox Pub Layer de la Haye.
No fixed book to read, a pile of books in the middle of the table to choose from to take home. Somebody will have an opinion on any book (if you want the opinion) Feel free to come along or pm me for more details.
Surprised to find this isn't self-published. It appears the publishers may have jumped on the bandwagon here. More a book of long words than anything like Jennifer Worth can do.

over to you
Couldn't resist picking this up at the inaugural Blue Egg Cafe meet ;)
If you are expecting, "The True Story of a 1950s District Nurse", then you may be disappointed as that only represents a small proportion of the book. Having said that, overall, it's an interesting memoir of its time. Some of the advances in medicine (abandoning leaches!) one can be very grateful for!
I didn't get on well with the dialect - I can't hear it as I read it, unlike Scottish patter. Also the glossary is all very well, but most of the words I looked up weren't in it!
Be warned, it has an unexpectedly sad ending!!!
