South of the Northeast Kingdom by David Mamet is a gentle ramble through the author’s memories of Vermont. It’s a short, pleasant read and is one of a series of National Geographic books by prominent writers on the art of travel writing. However I can’t decide whether the ragged edge of the pages is due to a blunt guillotine or is intended to convey some sort of earthy, rural effect!
A Foreign Country by Francine Stock – I just lost interest by the fiftieth page.
Dancing with Eva by Alan Judd is a great read. Two elderly people remember the last days in Hitler’s bunker and the events that followed. Dark secrets are revealed, leading to a tense ending. A highly recommended novel.

Have your say! (No need for any ID!)
