The Secret Hours

[Daisy]

This is the first book I've ever read by Santa Montefiore and I wasn't sure what to expect.

What I got was a book that absorbed me completely. I really wanted to unravel they mystery left by Arethusa, which was only revealed gradually through her daughter's reading of her diaries and her visit to Ireland to find her mother's past. The daughter, Faye, was not without her secrets and dilemmas to resolve, and right up to the end I wasn't sure what path she'd take.

It was an easy read, but nonetheless absorbing, with a real flavour of the Emerald Isle and its people.

Daisy I think I have a book by that author on my Kindle ( as yet unread) but I don't think that is the title.

On the subject of books, one of my Christmas presents was a 3 month subscription to A Box of Stories. Every month I get 4 brand new books by 'undiscovered authors'. have just got my first box and the books look very interesting. Some of them I'd probably not have chosen for myself, but it will be good to have a change from my preferred read of crime thrillers! I should have quite a library by the time I've finished!

That sounds a good present WG!

WeeGranny, I haven't heard of A Box of Stories, but it sounds a brilliant idea. It will be interesting to know if you "discover" the next best seller.

I'm trying this year to read something different from my regular diet of gentle chick lit. I don't want to be pushed into needing to read with a dictionary at my side, or need a degree in psychology to understand the thought processes of the characters. I don't want to wake up from nightmares either - so nothing too scary.
