So this past reading week, I dipped into the lives of many different people all connected by their home town even if some of them had long since left it behind them and others still live there. I emigrated to Canada under a false identity and then disappeared leaving behind a husband and three month old baby who would grow up to try and solve the mystery of her mother. I gained a load of self-confidence and changed my life thanks to the ghost of Dorothy Parker egging me on. And I'm just starting on an adventure with the Lindbergh family. Where did your book travels take you this week?

I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.
