It's called The Wreck of The Zanzibar by Michael Morpurgo. It's 2.30am and I've just finished crying over it.

I have become intrigued by the Anglo-Saxons and am reading history books which is a laugh in itself as I was hopeless at the subject at school.

If you want one that is delicious, not deep, but one of those books you don't want to put down because of the lighthearted twists, then try "The Matchmaker of the Perigord" (it is romantic, but not slushily so). Unfortunately as I write I can't remember the author's name.menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-55705094474698226332010-08-17T13:34:11.405+01:002010-08-17T13:34:11.405+01:00I have Hornet's Nest under my desk here to sta...I have Hornet's Nest under my desk here to start sometime.
