Sounds like a very good book.

I have read several really fun books lately. I loved Jane and the Stillroom Maid- one of the Jane Austen mysteries (and you know how I like Jane). Then a friend gave me Julie and Romeo, or Romeo and Julie- can't remember which way it goes. Was a very quick read, and a very cute idea. I'm working my way through Gunter Grass's The Flounder and I got The Vision of Emma Blau and a collection of short stories by Ursula Hegi. I've got a super non-fiction book called Embracing Defeat- Japan in the Wake of WWII, and a very cute book called The Snakebite Survivors' Club. The new biography of Franklin was at Costco so I got that, and I've read a little of it. I think I'm reading about 20 books at the moment- of course there are hundreds piled around the house waiting for me to read them. Patient things books.
