When Josephine's husband leaves her to go start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, she finds herself scrabbling to make ends meet. Her beautiful sister Iris lies about writing a book, and rather than admitting her fib, she convinces Josephine to write a 12th century romance under Iris's name. (Josephine is a historian who specializes in that time period.) In the meantime, there's some drama between Josephine's stepfather and his mistress, and Josephine's best friend and her lover, and in the end I noticed that absolutely no one finds love within their own marriage. Despite my prudishness, though, I did enjoy this bit of light fiction. It's a good beach read, and I felt like I even learned a little something about 12th century France.

Bringing to the next BCinDC meetup at Ballston Mall in Arlington, VA.

This book was leftover after a meetup. I ended up with it and will most likely release it in September for the animal-related challenge that month.

I set this book from another BookCrossing friend aside to release in the September "You're Such an Animal" Challenge. I'm taking it to the zoo to find a new home!

My son found the book at the National Zoo and we decided to take it along for our week-long vacation visit to the Eastern Shore via Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Ocean City, NJ, and Princeton, NJ. I hope I can finish it and leave it for the next curious traveler.
