I was born in London just after WW2 in a smoky old grey November. I love to read of this time and further back, when my parents loved lived and work through this time. I love London with a passion and as you may have heard the expression before "When you are tired of London, you are tired of Life" I shall read this. Thank you.

I don't believe in coincidence, but rather that when something that we perceive to be coincidence has occurred, something else, on a much larger scale than we are able to understand, is really happening. It seems I will be adding one more item to my wish list, then. I've never read anything by Sarah Waters, and I will give this a shot. Thank you for a fascinating and informative review, Cuban. And have a fabulous weekend!<br /><br />NevineNevine Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794887684860140819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-28857670128591346942009-10-30T13:51:36.560+00:002009-10-30T13:51:36.560+00:00What a great review - definitely added this to my ...What a great review - definitely added this to my "must read" list.
