14. 'The Forgotten Summer' by Carol Drinkwater
Carol Drinkwater is such a good writer. I haven't read any of her fiction, is it as good as her non-fiction?
Hi Cath...this was her first 'fiction' I've read too, and yes I enjoyed it....France, vineyards and olive groves...things she knows how to right about and I enjoyed the storyline too.
Thanks, Diane... I'll see if the library has it. I follow her on FB and she has a new book out I think.
What a lovely gentle read this was....wee while since I read one of her books, and I love the cover too.15 down 9 to go (15)
