The writing is good, the topic, gold rush in New Zealand, is not very interesting

Best read of the year

Nobel prize for literature, really?

I started reading this because Cheerfulness Breaks In ended on a cliffhanger. More than 40% through Northbridge Rectory before clarifying sentence relieved the tension

Can’t put this one down. I won’t say I didn’t see it coming, but wow, what a twist. Highly recommend A Place of Execution

Very slow going. Half way through and bang! Hard to imagine what will be covered in the second. The trial I guess

A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself, I am thinking, as the sun comes out! And the sea at once changes from miserable gray to heavenly blue.

Grrarh! This is an exciting book
