I loved Downton Abbey, Forgotten Garden, Distant Hours, Wildflower HIll, and others of similar nature. I just do not want this story to end.<br />Will try to join the readalong. So wonderful to meet others who are enjoying this novel. Got the book on USA Amazon where it is called 'House at Tyneford.' Must check my library for the other title.

Maybe that is why we are called the lucky country!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-78940625818383195482012-04-10T08:13:56.810+10:002012-04-10T08:13:56.810+10:00Carrie, the Pacific NW is definitely on my list of...Carrie, the Pacific NW is definitely on my list of places to get to one day!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-54440380289304595752012-04-10T02:42:08.335+10:002012-04-10T02:42:08.335+10:00I just got this one from the library on Friday, so...I just got this one from the library on Friday, so I am hoping that I can catch up with the readalong.

I should go while my sister is still able to drive. I too agree with her not fitting in, but I'm not sure of the affair with Kit... I'm thinking Mr. Rivers, the old guy. I also think that refugees are never poor and are always from the upper class, lets face it poor people didn't have the means of escape. Such is, I believe, still the case. My friend from Indian was well up there in the $$$ but coming here, they started from nothing and maybe... This is why we are called the land of opportunity.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171389134207433317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-77793981437394974192012-04-09T23:58:19.515+10:002012-04-09T23:58:19.515+10:00Thank you for answering the questions, Marg - I lo...Thank you for answering the questions, Marg - I loved reading your answers! As I was reading, it made me wonder if maybe Elise's parents don't actually have visas to the US lined up, and they only told her that so she would leave for England and be safe. <br /><br />I agree about her not fitting in - she is a bit of an oddball in each situation. And the notice on the door had me intrigued, too!<br /><br />Your trip to Austria makes me drool with jealousy! It sounds wonderful. And if you ever do make that trip to visit Kelly, and want to come farther west on the North American continent, I'd love to meet you in real life. :)<br /><br />Looking forward to starting section two today!Carrie K.http://booksandmovies.colvilleblogger.comnoreply@blogger.com
