The marriage portrait (by Maggie O'Farrell)
(Amazon UK link)
I very much liked the book ‘Hamnet’ by Maggie O’Farrell, when I read it just over three years ago. So I was pleased when our local reading group allocated another book by the same author for September’s choice. I was able to buy ‘The marriage portrait’ inexpensively from the WorldofBooks site when I was in the UK last month, and I started reading it last weekend. It’s a lon Read more of this blog post »

Third in the series for older children about the wonderfully disorganised Casson family. This one is primarily about the youngest, eight-year-old Rose, who is going through rather a difficult stage. She is very upset that her good friend Tom, who ret

| This novel has two timeframes: that of the present day, involving the flighty Lizzie, and that of Clarissa, a young woman in the 1940s. There are several side stories too, mostly involving relatives or friends of Lizzie’s. I was slightly overwhelmed ...more | |

A very well-written historical novel, based on a ducal family from the middle of the 16th century. Lucrezia is a well-drawn character, feisty and uncontrollable almost from birth. She is intelligent, imaginative, and an excellent artist. And she is e ...more |

I thoroughly enjoyed re-reading the eleven historical fiction short stories featured in 'Pistols for two', as well as three more recently discovered Heyer stories which are included in this new collection. Many of the short stories have similar theme ...more |

I enjoyed this book very much. I read it on my Kindle while travelling. It's about a young woman in her thirties called September, who has a life-changing letter from a lawyer... The writing is good, at a pace I found just right. The story is cleverl ...more |

| I read this aloud to my 11-year-old grandson, although he had already read it himself more than once. It's a quirky story about a talented nine-year-old orphan called Bridget who regularly comes up against the caricatured evil owner of the orphanage. ...more | |

A short but action-packed historical novella, set during the French revolution. Catherine is the heroine, strong-minded and intelligent, and she rather despises Mr Oakley, her brother's wealthy friend. After a family tragedy they're drawn together, a ...more |

| A powerful, cleverly written book which I didn't expect to like at all. It's based on a rather depressing true life situation - a Cypriot woman in London, accused and eventually condemned for the murder of her daughter-in-law, in the 1950s when the d ...more | |
