How wonderful!! You've given me an idea or two of books I can read for the remainder of the summer. I read Shellseakers years ago and I fell in love with it. My mother adores books like that one, as well. I'll have to pass along the other titles that you've mentioned, including yours. : ) <br /><br />~ WendyWendy McDonagh-Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960081613348728607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481510413550460157.post-71595883952616459222014-07-10T17:20:02.990-04:002014-07-10T17:20:02.990-04:00Beautiful post Elizabeth, thank you.

In fact, I read the Old Filth series because you'd mentioned it in a previous post some time back. Will look into Ruth and Gisela...may be my first book download on my new tablet!<br /><br />Here's a recommendation for you, a surprisingly good read by (of all people)Elizabeth Gilbert, "The Signature of All Things."

Viewed from inside or outside.<br /><br />Glad that your book has now got another way to reach readers. May I recommend it to all!<br /><br />My current subway reading is Jane Gardam's short story collection Missing the Midnight, published in 1997. May I also recommend this one to all.<br /><br />Elizabeth, a certain window to more free time is about to open in my own life. I look forward to seeing you soon, and continuing all our varied conversations.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481510413550460157.post-28678805636072379082014-07-04T12:22:28.896-04:002014-07-04T12:22:28.896-04:00What a beautiful post today.
