Hope you like Hostages ... I thought it was rather relevant to today's economic climate, especially to struggling mums - but at least we don't have to darn socks today!maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-42104961286284522542011-08-14T21:46:55.336+01:002011-08-14T21:46:55.336+01:00I'm struggling through The Wise Virgins - Leon...I'm struggling through The Wise Virgins - Leonard Woolf at present, but have just found Hostages on the shelf, so will swap. I trust your good taste implicitly. Can't think why I haven't already read it.

Frogmore is beautiful isn't it?<br /><br />Having read the précis of 'Making Conversation' I think I shall give it a miss, it seems too 'stiff' somehow but I shall put 'Hostages to Fortune' on my to read list. Thank you for the recommendation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
