I bought a really good training and obedience book for my dog.

Still having problems getting the dog to read it though - whats the trick!

P.S. See you on the 30th Gem - if were not all washed away by then in this downpour

Rosemary, I recently read a book that might suit you. It is set in Berlin in the run up to WW2, but I can't remember the exact name - something like The Incredible Life of Lily Aphrodite.

December is also a very good book about a parent's anxiety about their daughter who has stopped talking.

Sorry I'm useless at remembering the names of the authors.

I'm reading 'World Without End' by Ken Follet - the sequel to 'Pillars of the Earth'.
I didn't think he could better Pillars - but I can't put this down!

If you like the WW2 setting,Rosemary & Dan, I quite enjoyed Sarah Waters' Night Watch.
At the moment I'm listening (not much time for reading - audio books from the library are great in the kitchen!) to Cariona MacPherson's The Winter Ground. All her books are set in Central Scotland in the late 1920s, I like them.
Battled through P.D. James' Devices & Desires, found it a bit hard going.
Before that Joanne Harris' The evil seed, good and gripping entertainment, nothing beats Chocolat though, lol.

I loved Pillars of the Earth, so will get the sequel. Maybe I should read Pillars again first though.

To add to the WW2 theme, we're watching "Band of Brothers" - we're on episode 6 now.

It's good having a bad memory, I asked my partner and he said he could not remember and said "white fang" I loved that book too, a sentimental adventure
