The Ministry of Utmost Happiness from Arundhati Roy and Louise Erdrich's La Rose top my books to read in a hammock this summer. When it rains I like old Agatha Christie mysteries with damp yellowing pages and I plan to reread Three Men in a Boat (published in 1889) by Jerome K. Jerome just to laugh for the umpteenth time about holiday expectations versus hilarious reality.

I must tell you, I am still processing your beautifully touching story. I read your first novel but this one is so special! I felt as though I was sitting in the garden with Hugh and his family at the lovely cottage. The descriptions of the war were chilling. I too am a writer. You might enjoy my novel - AN EVEN EXCHANGE. It is told in twovoices and is set inthe US and England. How did you research WW 1 info?
