Here's a good website batty, Martina Cole (http://authorpages.hoddersystems.com/MartinaCole/newbook.htm). It lists the order of the books from the top down and also has excerpts from each one. I loved them all, very gritty, true to life. I've found myself both laughing a crying whilst reading some of them, Two Women in particular.

Reading Falling into place by Linda Taylor, my second library book which is another book about family dynamics. Not intentional but I seem to be following a bit of a theme.

Had a reading break for a while, but in the last 4 days I've read Ender's game and Speaker for the dead by Orson Scott Card, I'm just starting the third book Xenocide.
They were given to me by my brother in law who said I'd asked to read them. I don't remember this it may have been one of those wine fuelled conversations which result in you not really listening to the other person!
Anyway, I've enjoyed them so far so lucky me!
