The convent girl by Tania Crosse

Posted

A fantastic book about a life so far from the social norms that we are living with today. I really liked the research that must have underpinned this story as it was beautifully linked to real events and told in a gripping and very believable way. 

The convent part is but a small part of this book as we follow Maisie from a young child living in a convent in Ireland during the war, all the way through to an old woman living in England. 

This book is part of a series, the Devonshire Sagas, but all work as stand-alone. I had not read the other books in the series but will now go back and read some of the others. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe books for allowing me an eARC in exchange for an honest review. 

PS. This and all the other book in the Devonshire Sagas are currently available for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Captivated by Callie by Jennifer Bishop is the first book in the Flamingo Cove series.  Devon Steel, as retired military returns to Flamingo Cove to start his new boating business.  Callie Hargraves is on the run and hopes that Flamingo Cove will be a safe place to hide out. Things don't always go to plan and they soon realise that there is some attraction that is hard to resist between them. Unfortunately Callie's past is catching up with her, and Devon ends up having to help her stay safe.  Easy read, a bit of romance, a few smiles, feel good and enjoyable.  #CaptivatedbyCallie #NetGalley

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
