I'd really like to read this. It's going on my wish list, definitely.

I enjoyed this book when I read it a few years ago. Everything I had read prior to that from PG was historical so it was interesting to read her writing in a contemporary setting.

Ooh, this sounds interesting. I love good food descriptions. I'll try and find it.

I wasn't sure about this one, even though I love Philippa Gregory's historical fiction (can't wait for her next three books to come out!) but it actually sounds quite good. Maybe I'll give it a try!

audio available at Powell's ext_117086 November 3 2008, 01:44:04 UTC

This is available (but backordered) for US$61.25 on audio tape at Powell's, but they don't have a paper copy. Or you can find copies at AbeBooks; they're mostly in the UK. There are a few in Australia and Germany; the copies in the states are US$20-30. I just ordered a hardback from the UK for US$10. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm glad you were able to find a reasonably-priced copy! $60 for an audio tape (I don't think I even have a tape player anymore!) is still pretty steep :-p
