    I have just started "The Scent of Water" by Elizabeth Goudge. So far, I'm enjoying her writing style.

    @NicoleMR I'll be interested in your opinion of The Priory of the Orange Tree. I read it a few years ago and found it rather heavy going. Not sure why.
  • Naomi Alderton - Don't burn Anyone at the Stake Today. Non-fiction, short, and very good, incisive.

    @Jane R , so far the only daunting thing about it is the sheer size of the book.

    😅 I read Adrian Tchaikovsky's books, many of which are large enough to stun an elephant. I don't think it was the length that put me off. Maybe I should give it another try... once I've worked my way through the TBR pile. And finished The Count of Monte Cristo (in French).

    If The Count of Monte Cristo doesn't put you off with its length I doubt anything else will.
    I.had trouble getting into The Priory of the Orange Tree too. I think I felt it was just slightly too eager to show the main character's superiority to those around her.

    I’m reading Paradise City by Elizabeth Day, the first novel of hers that I’ve tried.
    Written from the point of view of several distinct characters, the plot is coming together intriguingly.
