Fabulous author. Try one of the two I mentioned above or if they are too hard to find, see if you can find one of these:<BR/><BR/>With This Ring<BR/>One Good Turn<BR/>Libby's London Merchant<BR/><BR/>I gave them A's too.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-15392841591448766702007-04-12T03:49:00.000-07:002007-04-12T03:49:00.000-07:00I've never read anything by Carla Kelly, but I lov...I've never read anything by Carla Kelly, but I love discovering new authors, and this one sounds intriguing, though I don't know about the squeamish factor. I've seen "Alive", so I have a good idea about what you're talking about. But if I'm prepared, it won't be so shocking to me.Stacy~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-79210118474592551262007-04-11T12:49:00.000-07:002007-04-11T12:49:00.000-07:00Jennie: Yes, James was wonderful, wasn't he?

So true.<BR/><BR/>Rosario: Yes, please, you must read Mrs. Drew ASAP. I would love to see what you think. Many people, besides me, have said that this is their favorite. I saw that movie 'Alive' and it was chillingly memorable especially considering it was based on a true story. I didn't realize they were Uruguayan. You will definitely have no problem with BC then. I'd love to hear your opinion on that one too. :)ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-54154706700666678882007-04-11T11:38:00.000-07:002007-04-11T11:38:00.000-07:00I bought this one, but I haven't received it yet. ...I bought this one, but I haven't received it yet. Don't know if I'll read it straight away, though. I've long had Mrs. Drew in my TBR as my ultimate rainy day / slump-buster book, and I'm thinking maybe I'll put this one in that slot instead and finally READ Mrs. Drew!<BR/><BR/>I read the spoilers about the squeamish thing, and I hope forwarned is forearmed in this. Plus, after reading tons of acounts of the story of the Andes survivors (the ones that inspired the movie Alive; they're Uruguayan, and so it's always been a huge story here), I don't expect to be that bothered by it.Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-28695822646307610212007-04-10T10:59:00.000-07:002007-04-10T10:59:00.000-07:00I felt the exact same way about this book--it was ...I felt the exact same way about this book--it was disturbing (I am a very squeamish type too). But it was well-written and James was a fantastic character. <BR/><BR/>Rosie--I second the vote for Mrs. Drew.

I hope to get to it this month. I've been looking for some of her other books here locally without success. Guess I'll have to breakdown and look for them on line. Any recs for an older title I should get first?Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.com
