frankie Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yes, Cranford it is! Well done! The first name I *****'ed in the quote was actually 'Cranford' Eventhough it was a location, I thought it crucial to hide it, as it would have been a giveaway... Your turn!

Yes .. leaving in 'Cranford' might have made it too easy Your turn! Goody!! I'm going for an easy one .. y'all know this "But there was one other thing that the grown-ups also knew, and it was this: that however small the chance might be of striking lucky, the chance is there.

chaliepud Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It was one of my favourite books and films when I was younger! Will be back in a bit with another but should get kids and dogs sorted first! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 "This was the moment when he usually woke up. When she fell, screaming, out of his grasp, into the abyss, taken by the nightmare, lost forever, this was where he usually sat up in his bed, covered in sweat, his heart beating so fast he thought he might die."

poppyshake Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I don't usually read books with abyss's in .. it's not sounding familiar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It sounds like a book I might enjoy reading, I'm not sure which one it could be, though (but then again I've not been sure about any of the ones mentioned here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well it is on your GR wish list frankie, I think you would like it Pops. Michelle and Kylie both liked it and I thought Janet did too but I can't see any record of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Actually I'm surprised you haven't read it Pops! Maybe I should answer some yes/no questions, or maybe Michelle will head over here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
