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.

2004-01-10 The Kites - an excellent read

The first full length novel I ever read in French amply repaid the effort. (I got a mediocre O-level in French aged 16, started French lessons again nearly 40 years on, and read it 9 months later.) It's got humour, romance, adventure, tragedy, history - the lot. Ambroise Fleury, the "potty postman", and Marcellin Duprat, the restauranteur passionate about French cuisine, are beautifully portrayed, as is the lovely/mysterious/tragic figure of Lila. My only criticism is that many chapters are written as fairly unrelated episodes (but you may see that as a plus point), though the book as a whole has an overall sweep from the first page to the last. You can find a translation of selected chapters to whet your appetite if you do a Google search for "romain gary kites". If you're doing A-level French, grab it and read it!
