I would be interested to know how you like this, Annis. I have it on my TBR pile, having bought it as I loved The Conjuror's Bird so much.

Another one I have on the TBR pile! Are you enjoying it, Ludmilla?

I'm enjoying it so far, Vanessa. I got it through a swap site, and it has one of those old gothic romance style covers -- man holding woman with long, flowing red hair against a rocky background with dangerously swirling water. The story is more than that cover might suggest. I would categorize this as more of a family saga about a curse that reverberates down through the generations. This one is set in Ireland, covering roughly the period 1820-1920.

Great, just what I need another book to add to the pile

Have you heard anything about Mary Anne by D du M?

Thanks, Ludmilla. Sounds my cup of tea actually! LOL.

Misfit, I have Mary Anne on my TBR pile, too. It's based on DduM's great-great grandmother who had a bit of a ding dong with the then Duke of York.

Thanks Vanessa, I'll fasttrack that one. Thankfully the library has a nice big selection of D du M on hand. I love working on an author like this, every book is like a surprise package - you never know what you're going to get.
