Sacred Hearts - A Novel by Sarah Dunant
What I didn't know about women who entered convents in Italy is apparently a lot. What an amazing look at how these young women ended up here against their will. A somewhat spiritual but mostly love story about the power of perseverance.

This book left me speechless and incredibly enlightening. A monk's persecution that goes beyond what a human being should ever have to endure. I will never forget his story. One of the most important book I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Just read it. Compassion at its greatest. -
Eucalyptus- Murray Bail
I read this a long time ago and lost it- and finally I found it again after forgetting the title! A modern-ish day fairy tale romance story. I really enjoyed it. Somewhat surprised that a man wrote it. Very poetic and dreamy. I fell totally into... +

An Irish Country Doctor- Patrick Taylor
An enjoyable read. My mum compares it to All Creatures Great and Small and found it wanting. Ok come on- that's a classic. I found the characters endearing and quite cute. Quite usual small tone story about a funny bunch of Irish characters.

A Good and Happy Child by Justin Evans
A seriously disturbing read. I was left very disturbed and heavily reflective after each reading session of this novel. A very dark story. Interesting but catatonic look at depression, childhood and personal suffering.

A Walk in the Woods- Bill Bryson
Im a huge Bryson fan- and this novel doesn't disappoint with hilarious situations and remarks by the author. I just can't get enough of his style of writing- sarcastic, dry, witty as can be. Every book is a fun read that leaves me in bouts of... +

At Home by Bill Bryson
Well, it's not the fastest read in the world, but it sure is packed with a highly detailed account of everything from stairs, fuse boxes, to kitchen equipment to the dining room. Seriously fascinating but you have to really stick to your guns to... +
Well, it's not the fastest read in the world, but it sure is packed with a highly detailed account of everything from stairs, fuse boxes, to kitchen equipment to the dining room. Seriously fascinating but you have to really stick to your guns to finish it. Not as numerous as most of Bill Bryson's books. -
Innocent Man - John Grisham

A very informative true story about wrongful convictions- a topic I am greatly interested in. You either love or hate John Grisham, but I found this true account very interesting and important to have knowledge about the topic. A stunning look at the justice system in the USA. -
