Wonderful!!!

This book is on it's way to Plum-crazy as a trade for Bergdorf Blondes.

Wow... this arrived quick!!

I'm really looking forward to reading it but at the moment it's going to have to sit on Mount TBR while I get through some bookrings!

Thanks for the trade 300dogs...hope you enjoy your book!

Oh what to say about this book...powerful & haunting...moving & unexepcted...riveting & unforgettable....evocative & genuine...extraordinary... reviews from the back cover which surmise it pretty well!

If it hadn't been for the fact that this months theme for the ULTIMATE CHALLENGE is "MOVIES", this might still be sat patiently on the good ol' TBR mountain....& what a treat I would have missed. It's no word of a lie to say I couldn't put it down - it made me smile, it made me gasp, & on more than one occassion brought a lump to my throat (okay I admit, pages 219 & 343 actually brought tears to my eyes!)& it had me on the edge of my seat.

Any book that can take me on such a rollercoaster of emotions deserves a big fat 10/10...I loved it!!

Thanks so much 300dogs for sharing this & it's now moving a few miles down the road to bradgirl who I hope will find it as moving & enthralling as I did.

Read as part of the 2010 ULTIMATE CHALLENGE - themed "MOVIE" read for May &

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

On it's way to bradgirl, hope you enjoy it as much as I did (tip: keep a tissue handy!!)

Released as part of the 2010 ULTIMATE CHALLENGE - themed "MOVIE" release for May

Received with thanks from plum-crazy. I've had this on my wishlist for a while and looking forward to reading it. Sorry haven't journalled it sooner but I've been away in London and then came back to this dreadful new site!!

Passed to a friend of mine who is recovering from a broken heel and desperate for books! I'd like it back please as I haven't read it yet.

I really enjoyed this book, it effectively transported me to another time and place. The narrative was excellent without being too flowery. I felt it was factual too, without any real proof of this. Simply because it is so well written. Great recommendation from a friend. Thanks
