[quote=""Brenna""] Back to rereading Brian Wainwright's Within the Fetterlock.[/quote]

I enjoyed that one. It felt like I was getting some parts of the puzzle that were missing in other books I'd read about those times.

[quote=""Madeleine""]The Aurora books are being issued in the UK soon, I've pre-ordered one and might give another one a try too.[/quote]

The Aurora book was a crime novel too, so they sound quite similar to the Lily Bard series, but I don't read much crime so I think it was me rather than the series

Finished The Paris Wife by Paula McLain last week. It's about Ernest Hemingway and his first wife Hadley. It dragged in some of the early parts for me, but came alive in the last third or so of the book, making it all worthwhile. Told from Hadley's point of view, Ernest himself is difficult to get to know or feel much sympathy for. But Hadley herself is fascinating.

Now about a third of the way into The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman. Not really historical fiction. It's about a fictional international newspaper based in Rome. It comprises vignettes of different characters working for the newspaper in the present day, interspersed with snapshots of the newspaper's founding in the 1950s, which I presume will move forward in time to cover the intervening years. So far, I'm absolutely loving it!

I'm about half way through The Forest Laird (Whyte). I'm really enjoying it.

Got side-tracked from Angelique in Barbary when I left it at the office (took it there to scan the cover, not dumb enough to pick it up and read any where in public

). Working on The Salamanca Drum by Dorothy Eden. Good stuff.
