Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!
Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?
Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

Women's role in the middle ages as mediators between the literate culture of the monastery and the largely illiterate culture of the secular courts, widely acknowledged, remains little understood. Powell shows that 12th century monastic culture articulated an idea of woman's reception of the Word that vernacular court poets were able to shape into a poetics of text in performance. The performance becomes a vehicle of the aurally and visually manifest truth, and vernacular poetry is an alternative Scripture for laymen who "read" as women. This study contributes to our understanding of the beginnings of European literary tradition.
