I hope you enjoy Rosy's books if you get to them, Penny. Hearts & Minds is my favourite.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-44855548443003608162012-12-15T10:23:23.137+11:002012-12-15T10:23:23.137+11:00I haven't read any of Rosie Thornton's boo...I haven't read any of Rosie Thornton's books before, Lyn, but I think I must do something about this!<br /><br />I misread what you wrote and thought that Margaret wrote to Richard on sanitary towels!!! I was working out how she could do this (indelible pens, perhaps?) and the difficulty of fitting them into envelopes, when I realised I'd missed out the words 'about the VAT'!!! Do you ever do that? Misread something and work out a whole scenario, only to discover it's not that at all? :DPennyhttp://svh2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-16707291869160220712012-12-14T17:17:34.650+11:002012-12-14T17:17:34.650+11:00It was the last one I read as well.

It also has lots of references to the Condition of England novels like North & South & Hard Times.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-8392047556731146352012-12-13T05:46:27.497+11:002012-12-13T05:46:27.497+11:00Thanks for this review...I really appreciate the i...Thanks for this review...I really appreciate the introduction to new authors/enjoyable reads!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-48006475010321332102012-12-13T03:43:18.210+11:002012-12-13T03:43:18.210+11:00I was looking at this on my bookshelf just the oth...I was looking at this on my bookshelf just the other day, thinking how much I want to reread it.
