More Summer Reads 2010


Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson
I loved this book. It was a very gentle and charming story of a very proper English gentleman and the values and possessions he holds dear and the unexpected friend he finds in his attempt to hold on to them.

In May Pete took this picture of bluebells in the fields of Lyme Hall where they filmed the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth.

One Day by David Nicholls
What a rollercoaster, really funny, really sad, really good! This is the story of Dex and Em who meet as college students and then we have a snapshot of their lives on one day each year for the next 20 some years. I hear they are making it into a movie.
