|summary=Two women come to London as adults, some fifty years apart - one from rural Devon, the other from Finland, yet there is a connection between them whih neither could have imagined. An exquisite story of love in all its forms - highly recommended.
We've yet to meet anyone - male or female - who hasn't enjoyed [[The Help by Kathryn Stockett]]. The lives of three women - two coloured maids and a white woman collide in nineteen-sixties Mississippi. Brilliant characters, excellent plot and highly recommended - we think it will become a modern classic.
We think that Mari Strachan is a promising new writer and can recommend [[The Earth Hums in B Flat by Mari Strachan|The Earth Hums in B Flat]]. Growing up among family secrets in Wales in the late 1950's comes alive in this Dylan Thomas-meets-Nina Bawden five star read. Book groups should definitely browse this wise and accessible book.
