I really admire women of her time, who were largely self-educated and fought for the rights we take for granted nowadays.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-1047900973211839372009-09-07T00:08:07.594+01:002009-09-07T00:08:07.594+01:00The Impressionist sounds like I would enjoy readin...The Impressionist sounds like I would enjoy reading it, and now you have me interested in May Sinclair and her life and writings.<br />My want to read lists grow too long!<br />I just returned from a bookstore and saw a book I want to read: Henry the VIII's Children.<br />Bookstores and your blog are places I where I add to my TBR lists.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-4497478552247210242009-09-05T23:00:27.888+01:002009-09-05T23:00:27.888+01:00That's Saunton Sands, Ali, just up the road fr...That's Saunton Sands, Ali, just up the road from us.<br /><br />I can see that you have been busy, hope the book takes off soon.

I know your son-in-law is a geek (do you use that word for electronic wizards as well?), so if he does it for you, pls send me the directions.<br /><br />I spent at least half an hour just writing the couple of sentences in my last comment. When I think Shakespeare could have written an ode in that time and he didn't have MS Word at his disposal.<br /><br />You'll be amused to learn that I was able to copy the sentences above, paste them into Word, run them through spell check and paste them back here with absolutely no difficulty now!<br /><br />Talk about mysterious forces?<br /><br />Be back at you with a critique of "Sacred Hearts."erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-32280386545327719852009-09-05T17:38:25.431+01:002009-09-05T17:38:25.431+01:00e, I can't work out this new format at all.

I have been trying to get the profile icons to appear but Blogger doesn't seem to recognise the difference between Yes and No. I'll persist for a while longer then I might just go over to TypePad.<br /><br />I heard a little of the dramatised version of Sacred Hearts on the radio recently. It is difficult to judge from those versions what the book might be like.

The writing and the story line seem ordinary, but perhaps it will get better once it gets started.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.com
