Today on Amazon for $1.99: The Sea Beggars, by Cecelia Holland. I've enjoyed her other books--a very distinctive voice. (Also a friend and a lovely lady).

Sea Beggars is $9.91 if you are in Australia though! The way amazon and publishers set up international rights etc is so annoying! :x

Thanks, I just ordered this one. I've only read her Great Maria, which I enjoyed. I just saw in her Wikipedia article that she grew up in Metuchen, New Jersey which is in my county about 12 miles away. We were just at an Irish pub in Metuchen on Thursday.

They're great fun, I've read the first two and thoroughly enjoyed them, a bit like Dr Who but with more humour and better storylines!

Cyber monday deals. Hope you guys have time to get some deals, because they aren't valid for Australia!
