Last Best Book - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

This is not the cover of the book I have, but it is the one I like best of the many different covers it has had.

​Hello, all! I just got back from our last camping trip of the season (sad face emoji). We kept the campfire going all day, played bocce, warmed up with delicious drinks and made sure to wear layers upon layers (it got down to below zero Celsius each night!). But now it’s time to write up my blog (happy face emoji). Leslie Hachtel  set up a pretty easy one this week:

Tell us the best book you’ve read lately.

I love to re-read favourite books. Lately I’ve been re-reading Mary Stewart, including THE IVY TREE and THUNDER ON THE RIGHT. I was delighted, however, to read two of her books that I’d either forgotten about (definitely possible given the way I devoured books as a teenager, when I discovered Stewart) or had never read, MADAM, WILL YOU TALK and NINE COACHES WAITING.

Of those four books, I have to say I most enjoyed MADAM, WILL YOU TALK, although all of them are excellent. Part of my reason for choosing this one, though, is purely personal. It is set in the south of France, in and around Avignon. While the story is exciting and dramatic and so, so well written, the location held special interest for me as I have been lucky enough to travel to that part of the world a couple of years ago. While it has changed a fair bit since the 1950’s, when Stewart would have been there, it was still very recognizable, and I really enjoyed reading the book and "seeing" again many of the places we had been.

Now, I’d like to pass you on to a new member of the Romance Writers Weekly! Clair Brett is an historical romance author with three published novels who empty-nests in New Hampshire with her husband and various furry critters. Welcome, Clair!  And to discover the best book Clair read lately, head to her blog here!  ​
