  1. Hi gang - it's been a while since I dropped by, so good to catch up with a few other Erskine fans, again.

     

    So - we're on the run up to Sleepers Castle at the end of June!

     

    This next BE is set in Hay, full circle from Lady of Hay which is thirty this year ... scary isn't it?!

     

    Noting that, I'm a bit concerned. Could it be that this might be the last novel in the Erskine library?

     

    Of course we hope not, but 30 years+ is a good "innings" for a second career, including all the promotional work too.

     

    OK, let's not get depressed over possibilities - just look forward to the summer treat ahead.

     

    I'm already planning a lovely break in the routine to relax and really get into the book.

     

    Keep the faith gang, and maybe read a few of our favourites, meantime. They never get "old" do they?

    I see you're reading 'Demelza' - loved it.

  2. ...pride. Now his father might finally have some respect for him and stop bragging about his exploits in some foreign, far flung war. Now it's time to show him that he, Bertram Horace Wilberforce, could live up to the family name and expectations. He would soon show them what an undercover agent looks like. He couldn't wait to announce to his father that the son would outdo the father a hundred times.

     

    Then it dawned on him: that conversation could never take place if he were to become the greatest undercover agent since...

  3. I've just finished listening to the audio version of Bill Bryson's 'The Road to Little Dribbling'. It's great. He doesn't sound such a happy bunny these days but his observations on the things that are concerning him about the UK are witty, wry and worth considering. Excellent value, 11 CDs.

     

     

    Edit: I'm not sure if I should have started a new thread, I just didn't know where to put this - please move it if it should be somewhere else!

  4. :welcome:

     

    I love reading and have so little time to read! However, this site has alerted me to a couple of good books that I got stuck into and enjoyed, so I hope it will do the same for you.

  5. I agree about the number of characters, and their different stories. I think it is the sort of book you could read more than once. I have certainly listened to it more than once. 

     

    I also get too busy to do much reading all in one go and that certainly doesn't help with hanging on to who's who.
