I think Blanche Neige read it in hardback - anyone else ? Is it good ? (LOL the young lady doing the 'search' for it had entered Sweet Francias on the system!) www.quimperclub.org 99    Report

On another forum, Suite Francais was doing the rounds, a read it & pass it on thing. If you can't get a copy, look it up on there & see if you can be next on the list. I think you'll find the last person to have it, has not long finished. Just an idea. friendship warms the heart & heals the soul    Report

Could be the one you're talking about JayJay. I am Tricia on the other forum. Postage is a bit steep though as it's a hardback. A fascinating read, the kind of book which I need to re-read a few times before everything sinks in.Pat.    Report

Yes I read it in hardback (and in French so maybe not what you are looking for.) Yes Catalpa I agree with your comments.    Report
