Good morning and just pushing this back to page 1 x Jill

Can I suggest the following: Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir Lady Jane Grey was born into times of extreme danger. Child of a scheming father and a ruthless mother, for whom she was merely a pawn in a dynastic power game with the highest stakes, she lived a life in thrall to political machinations and lethal religious fervour. My Forbidden Face by Latifa (true story) Latifa was born in Kabul in 1980, into an educated middleclass Afghan family, at once liberal and religious. As a teenager she was interested in fashion & cinema and going out with her friends. Then, in 1996 the Taliban seized power. From that moment Latifa 16 yrs old, became a prisoner in her own home...The simplest and most basic freedoms - walking down the street, looking out of a window - were no longer hers. She was forced to cover herself entirely with a burqa. AL

Lol! Different Lorraine, however you would be very welcome of course. We choose 2 books each then on 22nd we vote for the 2 we'd like to win. We read the 2 with the most votes and we review them in 6 weeks roughly. Join in when you like. The Lorraine was & her three little...... Not seen her for a while. ann Glos

sorry for being a bit slow, and thanks for thinking of me, do we each say a book we would like to read , or that we have already and then someone choses who's book we read, if so i am half way through one so would it be best for me to wait until september thanks lorraine x

The board is moving so fast. i need to keep this up the top for Animal lover

Kate thank you but I think we have read Shadow of the Wind already probably before your time with us. excellent book. can you choose something else please. Ann

Hello again My suggestions are:- Love in the Present Tense - Catherine Ryan Hyde Leonard is an eerily wise 5 year old with asthma and vision problems who captivates everyone he meets Pearl is his devoted teenage mother desperately trying to hide a secret from the past Mitch is leonard's 25 year old neighbour busy running his own company and entertaining the Mayor's wife Then one day Pearl drops off Leonard and disappears. How do you go on loving someone who isn't there? As truth and fiction, memory and dreams collide, Mitch finds himself learning from a surprising source the true, magical definition of love. The Children's War - Monique Charlesworth Ilse, a half Jewish girl, has been sent away from Nazi Germany for safety. Trapped in France as war breaks out she finds herself in Marseille amidst whores, freedom fighters and refugees - she needs to find new loyalties and grow up fast. In Germany her mother Lore is now a nanny in an affluent household where she is befriended by Nicolai, a boy forced to join the Hitler youth. The boy, who feels like a stranger in his own land, discovers that his new friend has secret sorrows of her own. The war eats up the youth of Ilse and Nicolai.Whilst hope grows in France a dark tableau is unfolding in Germany, and this reluctant soldier and brave young girl must fight for survival. Look forward to the vote - looks like another difficult one. Kate
