This book was enjoyable. It wasn't over the top or anything a nice mystery with a captivating scenario. I thought I had it figured out. I did have a piece of the puzzle correct but not fully. I don't know I was kind of disappointed with the ending. Overall okay book not sure if I'm going to continu...
This book reminded me of the Guernsey Potato Peel Society. It was about WWII (obviously), set in a small town, and appeals mostly to older women (I think). My husband's grandma adored Guernsey and I think she'd like this one as well. It is cute-sy and romantic and a bit bold (but not too much) in...
As ever this series is a source of mellow if melancholic pleasure. And this installment was as satisfying as it's predecessors. Surprisingly the mystery felt more center-stage than in some of the previous books even though there was a fair amount of emotional development on Maisie's part. I suspect...
I read and reviewed the first book in the Maisie Dobbs series, Birds of a Feather, a few years ago. I gave it three stars, commenting that Maisie was a bit too perfect, and the book had some odd historical inaccuracies. I've recently become interested in WWI, so I thought I would try another book ...
I was surprised at how much I liked this book.For the last 6 years or so, I've mainly spent my reading time on non-fiction. Now that I'm back in school again and doing a lot of required non-fiction reading, I found myself craving fiction. Alas my bookshelf was pretty bare when because I've only been...
I liked this book. There seems to be a lot of reviews that call the ending flat and incomplete with no connection back to the question asked at the beginning of the book. I beg to differ. I think the title, The Postmistress, does not refer just to Iris, as Iris herself uses the American term, Pos...
Let me start by saying that I did not read or see the movie of The Help, so I will not make any comparisons to that one. This is the story of an Irish girl in the late 1700's that is sold as a servant at the tender age of 7 years old. She is placed in the care of the negro slaves in "The Kitchen H...
I'm generally a sucker for a WWII/Nazi sob-fest but this wasn't one. The story revolves around three women, when the US is on the cusp of becoming involved in the war. One is a war correspondent in London, one is the postmistress in a small town on Cape Cod, and the third is a young woman newly marr...
