If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend Dimanche and Other Stories, which is just wonderful. I've also read Fire in the Blood, Suite Francaise, and All Our Wordly Goods, and loved all of them. I've checked out Jezebel from the library, but I don't think I'll get to it before the end of the month. <br /><br />And I loved reading about your French lunch at a mall in the Philippines!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-9788586764094923582015-07-28T17:53:03.325+08:002015-07-28T17:53:03.325+08:00R.

I especially admire your eclectic reading interests and your compelling postings. Even though it is one of those deadly sins, I am envious. And I wonder how you have come by such an eclectic range of reading interests. I sense a kindred spirit.R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13220814349193561823noreply@blogger.com
