Recently Read and Recommended

The Day the Falls Stood Still***** by Cathy Marie Buchanan


The Siege***** by Helen Dunmore


Day For Night****+ by Frederich Reiken


Three excellent novels with fascinating historical details (Niagara Falls, Leningrad, Israel and the Holocaust). I highly recommend them all.

Currently enjoying The White Woman on the Green Bicycle by Monique Roffey, shortlisted for the 2010 Orange Prize. Set in Trinidad.

Have you read any of these books? What do you think? Leave me a link to reviews, I'd love to read them.
