I finished
The Olive Season by Carol Drinkwater, see post below, though I don't recommend it. The second book didn't prove to be as entertaining as the first.
I read
Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier. The author of
Cold Mountain. I thought it was beautifully written prose, and style. He did a fantastic job transporting me back in time. Also the process of growing older, and the feelings associated were well portrayed.
What I am reading now, and really enjoying is
Geek Love, recommended by Max in a posting on this very blog!
