Eve Green by Susan Fletcher
Oystercatchers by Susan Green
After reading the absolutely BRILLIANT Corrag, I just have to read more by this author.
Oh, and look out for an interview with Susan Fletcher about her upcoming book, Corrag, on 8th March!

Book’s I’ve bought:
I recently got a £20.00 book voucher for Waterstones so I spent a glorious couple of hours in the big shop in Leeds – pottering, cooing, admiring, drinking coffee, more cooing and admiring and here is what I came home with:

East Lynne by Ellen Wood (I’m reading it right now and it’s FANTASTIC!)
Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
Dead Souls by Gogol
Forever Amber by Kathleen Windsor

That’s all folks! Actually, it isn’t but I will have to finish the rest later as I have a book I’m dying to get back to read and it’s Sunday afternoon so that means cup of tea, horizontal on the sofa, cat on lap and book in hand. Perfect.
I am glad to know that you find “East Lynne” fantastic because I got it in my mailbox two days ago !!!
Yay, Virginie! I think you’ll really enjoy it.
I’d be interested to know how you get on with Forever Amber. I’ve never read it, but I believe she spends several days getting ready for a party – hope it pays off!!
What a great range of genres you have there – happy reading!
Ooh Return of the Native – I studied that for my A Levels and loved it! Enjoy!
