By the time I wanted to ask questions both my parents had died.
My maternal grandmother had lived in India as a child, prior to being placed in an orphanage with her brother, who she never saw again. Her mother, my great grandmother, was called Elizabeth Bennett(Shades of Pride and Prejudice). She was born to a British family in India. She was married at fourteen and left widowed with two children at eighteen. One of those children was my grandmother. Elizabeth married again and had another family. So how did Henrietta my grandmother come to be in a British orphanage?

Unraveling Family Lies in Homecoming: A Review

Sadly, I’m not Wonder Woman and I placed too many expectations on myself in October. I continued to write, and I’m now at 100,000 words . I eschewed most tv in favour of reading. My book of the month is definitely Homecoming what a tour de force!

Homecoming by Kate Morton

Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959: At the end of a scorching hot day, beside a creek on the grounds of the grand and myster

This book ticked so many boxes for me. Paris, Christmas, renovations, books and reading, and that is without even mentioning the burgeoning romance. Like curling up with a mug of steaming hot chocolate. Hits all the seasonal highs and tells a slightl ...more

Mrs Spy by M.J. Robotham
Rate this book
Clear rating
An interesting take on the spy genre, less glamour and more hard graft. Can an ordinary mum really find answers and if she does, who and what does she endanger? Thought-provoking, but to me not quite believable.

Sonia Bellhouse I am also currently reading The Almost Nearly Perfect People; The Truth About the Nordic Miracle by Michael Booth. I am on page 145. This talks about the cohesiveness of Nordic society and why the Danes who pay the worlds highest taxes regularly rate themselves 'the happiest people' Fascinating stuff!
