It made me laugh when I thought of the amount of times I have caught myself talking to a character in the book I am reading.......I was pleased to find that it's not only me who does that then!<br />I enjoyed your review and have not read this book, but, will definitely look out for it now.

I have added you to my blogroll as you have such entertaining posts and I see you're reading 'Miss Buncle'. I hope your enjoying it... it's such a gem of a book. <br /><br />I've been thinking of reading 'Charing Cross' for a while after re-watching the movie. I shall now have to add this to my TBR.

Weirdly it was one of the books my mother grabbed off her bookshelves for me to take into hospital when my soon-to-be husband was in there with a burst appendix (and peritonitis). Spoiler! I only just remembered Frank Doel's sad ending when I was parking in the hospital car park, so decided to take that one back home again.bookheaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122059232579616191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761873841609819775.post-73970229237330136982010-02-03T09:51:29.445+08:002010-02-03T09:51:29.445+08:00Sounds like a great read - I love that quote!Sounds like a great read - I love that quote!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13791309582153979145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761873841609819775.post-58779034480645095702010-02-03T09:41:33.389+08:002010-02-03T09:41:33.389+08:00I love this book!
