Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
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.

'[Mosley] provides the reader with much needed context and lets some fresh air into the claustrophobic, overheated atmosphere.'

'The story of the extraordinary Mitford sisters has never been told as well as they tell it themselves.'

'...a thrilling and moving, funny and serious book...one wonders if there will ever again be such a luminous correspondence.'

'Charlotte Mosley's glorious collection - by turns hilarious, moving and shocking...'

'...one is aware of having read something not only unique but very moving too...'

'The editing could not have been better...a clear view of how the dynamics of this peculiar family worked.'

'Their humanity is amply illustrated in these, their own enjoyable words.'

'The great treat of all time...Charlotte Mosley, proves the perfect companion...The letters are brilliantly entertaining.'

'[A] remarkable volume, the editing of which by Charlotte Mosley is distinguished by its...mixture of tact, efficiency and unobtrusiveness.'

'Absorbing, funny and often very moving...a remarkable story of six remarkable personalities.'

2008-08-06 Fascinating and very enjoyable read

I knew nothing about the Mitfords before borrowing this book from my mum. I found it highly compelling, especially all the references to the many influential and varied people of the 20th century. It is also very sad at times, especially the harsh realities of the passage of time. This collection of letters has been carefully chosen to tell the reader the Mitfords' story but in the words of the girls themselves.
