I'll have to read everyone else's Sunday Salon posts and live vicariously! I'm curious which of the books was so very good? I read the Nemirovsky, and while I liked it a lot, I'm not sure it would fall into the best of category. I've not read the other two...and that Ali Smith story sounds great.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-54625668299568572302008-01-23T10:17:00.000-05:002008-01-23T10:17:00.000-05:00I liked that bit you quoted from "St Lucy's Home.....I liked that bit you quoted from "St Lucy's Home..."

I think you will find this a fun and relaxing way to spend your Sundays :) I can totally relate to your remodeling woes as my husband and I did an extreme makeover of our house beginning a couple of years ago and it took more than a year to complete - what a mess! Just remember to keep your sense of humor...and every now and then find a hidey hole of quiet to read in :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.com
