This is now on its way to Plum-crazy as a surprise RABCK to celebrate her BC anniversary.

Woo hoo!!! I just LOVE Surprise RABCKS.....thank you so much for thinking of me yorkshire-lass it's very much appreciated.

As it's for my BC anniversary, it's going straight to the top of my TBR pile(unless anymore bookrings arrive!) & will be read next.

It's not that Martha doesn't like children, it's more that they don't fit into her world...or her shop....or her flat. Her sisters don't understand how she can live her life as she does, but Martha thinks everything is fine.

But when her stepfather dies she discovers some old letters & she starts to think about her past. While looking for a new home for stepfathers cat, Martha meets a family who live a very different life to hers...& then an old flame reappears......

A very enjoyable story. Although Martha is the focus of the story, I liked the way the lives of her sisters were brought in, showing the relationship highs/lows of family life. Not sure I was keen on the end...I would have liked something a bit more conclusive-maybe there will be a sequel!

Thanks again yorkshire-lass for this lovely book to celebrate my first year at bookcrossing.

This was seethroughfaith's choice of book if she won my Bank Holiday RABCK Draw ...but she didn't win!
I thought I'd send it on as a "surprise" as I'd like to keep it moving as it was such a nice tale!

Hope you enjoy it seethroughfaith!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Hvyää joulua! Happy Christmas. ... hope you enjoy this fun read :)

Yes, I did not open the package too early even if I wanted to.
The book looks very interesting to me. I already started reading it. Thank you for your kindness, Seethroughfaith! And A Happy New Year!

Somehow this book was just the right one for the beginning of this year.
Martha tries to find the right place for herself in this world. Maybe she did it...
Thanks for a good read, friends!
Now, who might be the next reader?

This is my #3. in "REDUCE MOUNT TBR 2009" Challenge arranged by DovreiLibri

and also #4 in 2009 KEEP THEM MOVING CHALLENGE arranged by Guinaveve

Met with Annelis today to give her a book from Piggybag, and she gave me this! Thank you, Annelis!

It was nice to meet you and I'm looking forward to reading this book!

I usually read two books at a time, one in the house and one at my work place... (don't tell my boss, please!) This time both books were about a woman going through old boy friends, in her mind or in her bed (sorry to be so blunt).

Towards the end I was a bit impatient because it seemed Martha was not getting anywhere with her thoughts. And the ending was no surprise, but a happy end of sorts. Also, I like people whose houses are in perfect order, because mine is such a mess. Maybe some day... :)

This was a nice read, and I hope to find a new reader for it soon.

Releasing this book at Lassila Library. Hopefully this book will find new readers. Please leave your comment here if you find the book and read it, it would be nice to hear from you.
Happy reading!
