Loved! Wolf Hall.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to dive into this one.
Am saving it for a beach porch later in the summer.
Pamela, You will Love this too. Already, it has grabbed me-I think the WH prepared me for it and it is just as if I finished that yesterday. pgt
ReplyDeleteWOW! Me, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is a great portrait!
Re-reading Wolf Hall in preparation for this one! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI've been foaming at the mouth waiting for this - I almost ordered it from the Amazon UK a couple of weeks ago, but I did the right thing and got it from my local bookseller (Faulkner House Books) today. I'm getting my internet usage out of the way and eating something before diving in. I may have to call in sick tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to read this one. This topic is always fascinating and the author is such a brilliant writer.
ReplyDeleteGaye I am so excited to read this!! Also an amazing portrait!
