BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Three books I enjoyed and would recommend.

Gill Paul’s “The Affair”.  Set in 1961 in Italy during the filming of “Cleopatra”.  An excellent plot with well drawn characters, a story of love and betrayal with the glamour of Taylor and Burton.

Leigh Russell’s “Rachel’s Story” – a dystopian future following world war, pandemic and food shortages.  Makes us contemplate our own world and demonstrates the resilience of the human spirit.

Finally, a Lindsay Gordon mystery by V.L. McDermid “Booked for Murder” – set in London’s publishing world an award winning author is executed in the same manner as her latest (unpublished) novel…

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

 

I enjoyed all three books this month.

The first, “The Queen of Last Hopes”, an historical novel written by Susan Higginbotham based on the story of Margaret of Anjou, wife of Henry VI.

The second, a good thriller, Robert Godard’s “One False Move”, a real page turner

and last but not least, “Trace” by multi-award winning Patricia Cornwell.
