I Found a Book to Read!

I was lamenting not too long ago about the sorry state of the books I'd selected to read - I couldn't finish them.

One commenter suggested a title to me: "Crooked Heart" by Lisa Evans.  I requested it from the library and just this afternoon finished reading it.

It was a delight.

Here's the first paragraph of the flyleaf synopsis:

"When Noel Bostock -- aged ten, no family-- is evacuated from London to escape the Nazi bombardment, he lands in a suburb northwest of the city with Vera Sedge -- a thirty-six year old widow drowning in debts and dependents.  Always desperate for money, she' unscrupulous about how she gets it."

It held my attention, was well written and a good read.

Thank you, Kitty for the suggestion.
