I can't seem to finish anything. Still one chapter into Nine Coaches Waiting, now also reading The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton and Bittersweet by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore.

I suppose I should mosey over to the Amazon pages and click the 'I'd like to see this book on Kindle' button.[/quote]

[quote=""Misfit""]I'm reading one of Susan Howatch's older gothics, The Shrouded Walls.[/quote]

Zemindar by Valerie Fitzgerald is £0.59 on Amazon UK right now. Sounds like it might appeal to fans of The Far Pavilions.
