Journal Entry 1 by voveryte from -- Somewhere in London 🤷♀️ , Greater London United Kingdom on Saturday, February 7, 2009
A TV chef who specialises in outrageous cakes tempts a monk who bakes bread for his brothers; a surprise visitor invites mayhem into the perfect minimalist flat in the season of good will; a woman explains her unique view of straying husbands; starying husbands encounter a variety of inventive responses. These are just some of the treats on offer in this sumptuous box of delights.
"This stunning collection is about modern relationships - and modern women. Every twist and turn, nuance and delicacy of the mating game is portrayed. It is a significant accomplishment." - Daily Mail

I received this book a while ago. I am looking forward to reading it. Please, let me know when I keep it for too long. I tend to lose track of time. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoyed reading this book. Sorry for keeping it so long. I have been dealing with some medical issues. This will be going on to the next person soon.
Book has arrived. I am sorry I haven't journaled it sooner, I think it arrived while I was packing for the BC convention, so it was put together with all the mail we received. Now I few days after I returned, I am cleaning up my house and found that I have this package sitting here.
I just started on a thick 600 page novel but will get on this next.
