Two Good Books

    A little rain this afternoon so I finished my current book and started another. After a period of nothing new arriving in my inbox from the library, three books arrived almost simultaneously, so I picked up one this morning, the others can wait. One good thing about the pandemic is that the library is currently not charging for overdue books.

  This is my third Mary Lawson books and I can tell I will enjoy it as much as the others. The others, which I have probably mentioned before, are "A Town Called Solace" and "The Other Side of the Bridge". All three are set in a small community in Northern Ontario and are packed with emotional, often tragic circumstances and complex family relationships that will stay with you after you finish reading.





  I finished this one today - a compelling tale of mystery and intrigue set in post WWII Eastern Europe, complete with spies, danger and human frailties. A good read.



o I picked up one today.

  1. I have lived in the Nipissing area off and on a few times since my late teens. A friend who was born and raised within sight and smell of the Temiskaming TEMBEC mill brought this author (Lawson)to my attention. I was quite hooked. I understand she has another book release imminent.

  2. Ohhh, lovely more books to add to my list. I will probably do more reading during the winter months as I will be stuck inside a great deal.

    God bless.

  4. The Diplomat's Wife was a good read. I've got the Kommandant's Girl on order from our library. Have you read that one?
