I do needlework ones for our Embroiderers' Guild (AEG.org.nz). Personally I am not into thrillers. I have just finished reading Happiness by Aminatta Forna and loved it. <br />India? It's not a country I have any great desire to visit - I would love to visit the UK again though; one day, or in my dreams!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692499583754486790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-39518101657921814412018-10-08T22:01:24.774+01:002018-10-08T22:01:24.774+01:00I'm afraid I am more and more disappointed wit...I'm afraid I am more and more disappointed with Douglas Kennedy books and I'm not sure it has much to do with circumstances.

I read 'The Woman in the Fifth' some time ago and, as far as I can recall, really enjoyed it. I think sometimes we are influenced by our life circumstances at the time of reading a book as to whether it resonates or not - at least that certainly happens with the members of my book club.
