The last book I read and totally immersed myself in was 'House of Sticks' by Peggy Frew. I will seek out 'Prodigal Summer', I tried reading Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal Vegetable Miracle and just couldn't get into it even though I really wanted to. I will give it another go. Hope all is well with you. finally Spring is showing itself here today and we are heading outdoors for a picnic xxNikki Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061038678819861999noreply@blogger.com
