The story of an Australian journalist who met a French man in her travels and visited him in France, ultimately marrying him and becoming thoroughly French herself. Delightfully told.


Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside
Review Date: 1/9/2018


This was a very informative book if you are interested in neurosurgery or in training to be a surgeon in that specialty. I especially enjoyed her sense of humor and frankness about the training. She related a few cases which were unique in her experience and their outcome. All in all, a book I plan to pass among my book club friends.

This is a blank book which can be filled in with photos and handwritten information. It has illustrations from The Saturday Evening Post and is quite elegant and old-fashioned. Antique lovers will appreciate this baby book.

The Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer is a series of seven books, and I've read six of them, planning to read the 7th next. I like Archer's writing; I enjoy many British writers' works. The story is about three generations through the two world wars and a decade or so beyond them. Political shenanigans, corporate intrigue, they have it all. His writing carries you along pretty quickly. I will miss this family after I've finished.

The Seamstress: A Memoir of Survival

This is a very moving true story about the amazing survival of a Jewish woman during WW II in Germany. I was inspired by her courage, inventiveness and determination to help her family members and herself survive against all odds.

I'm a Daughter of the Republic of Texas, a native Texan and proud! This book, TEXAS Wagons West, helped me know what it was like for early day Texians to build a homestead with native Americans and Mexico trying to keep Texas in it's country and making it difficult to survive. This was before it became a U. S. state in early 1846.

I highly recommend the book. It has everything...suspense, history, romance, adventure.

In fact, I doubled back and began the series with INDEPENDENCE and am now reading the next in the series, NEBRASKA.
