Destination Amsterdam: Flower Power
On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I ventured outside the city to explore two places that showcase the beauty the Netherlands is known for worldwide: flowers.
I toured Royal FloraHolland, in Aalsmeer, the largest marketplace for flowers in the world, and spent several hours at Keukenhof Gardens, in Lisse, known as the "Garden of Europe."

| A clever novel about friends and rivals and a ghost from the past. McEwan weaves a page-turner, for the most part, with a bit of humor and mystery, along with a touch of paranoia and scheming scoundrels. And it ends with an unexpected twist. | |

Thanks, Lara. Actually, there are several authors out there such as Richard Ford and Anne Tyler. But I hope that readers of all adult ages can relate to my "boomer lit" novels.
It's good to see someone writing about people of this generation!
