nannyconnie, I agree with you about Melvyn Bragg. Ages ago I read The Maid of Buttermere and more recently I read A Time to Dance. I wasn't too keen on those books. However, according to the blurb Remember me ... is 'a tragic and passionate romance' which suggests potential!

You must think that I am madly extravagant to buy hardbacks but I do look for bargains! At present I can't find any good paperbacks which I haven't read already! Can you suggest any that I might have missed?!

Thanks for your comment too, expatK. It seems there are three of us who were not impressed by Sophie Hannah's Little Face; I disagreed with the critics and thought the plot implausible. Her second book, Hurting Distance was better and I am hoping that Point of Rescue will be better still!
