Hi Ann, I love Philippa Gregory. I went to a book signing locally a couple of years ago (The Other Boleyn Girl) and she mentioned the book she was working on at the time which was about Elizabeth Woodville....she said she had done more research for this than any other.

"Lost" doesn't appear to be in the Kent library system so I have ordered it at vast expense (£2) from Milton Keynes library. Looking forward to reading both of these suggestions!

Thank you. Persistance paid off Jill, I think between us that is the 3rd time of suggesting The White Queen!! I have it on my shelf waiting to be read. Also have Memory Keepers daughter may re-read that. And of course also have Intimate strangers. I will have to see if I can get Lost (well you know what I mean Lol!!!)
