This is a Book Week review for Wednesday’s Holiday Reading theme. This is a stunning book. It is written as one sister’s letters to another. Beatrice is writing to Tess, who is missing. Beatrice is trying to find out what happened to her sister, dealing with everyone’s (including her fiancé’s …
This is a Book Week guest post from Elizabeth Buchan, author of Separate Beds and Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman, amongst others. If you are like me kindle-less, holiday reading is a tricky problem. One false choice out of the five books allotted by the baggage allowance and one can …
