Don't be put off by the endorsement it gets on the cover by Barbara Taylor Bradford, it is a good read. So when it gets to that time of night when I feel I should blog, the call of Mary and her intrigues is stronger and off I go to bed to read. Actually I've been so EXHAUSTED from all the unpacking that I can hardly string two words together myself.
