The Disgrace of Kitty Grey of Mary hooper -

Publication Date: 9 May 2013

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Disgrace-Kitty-Grey-Mary-Hooper/dp/1408827611

Kitty is living a happy, carefree life as a dairymaid in the countryside. The grand family she is employed by looks after her well, and she loves her trade, caring for the gentle cows and working in the cool, calm dairy. And then, of course, there is Will, the river man who she thinks is very fond of her, and indeed she is of him. Surely he will ask her to marry him soon?


Then one day disaster strikes: Will disappears. Kitty is first worried and then furious. She fears that Will has only been leading her on all this time, and has now gone to London to make his fortune, forgetting about her completely. So when Kitty is asked to go to London to pick up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, the latest novel by the very fashionable Jane Austen, Kitty leaps at the chance to track down Will. But Kitty has no idea how vast London is, and how careful she must be. It is barely a moment before eagle-eyed pickpockets have spotted the country-born-and-bred Kitty and relieved her of her money and belongings. Dauntingly fast, she has lost her only means of returning home and must face the terrifying prospect of stealing in order to survive - and of being named a thief . . .

    The Time Travellers Wife. Its a really lovely love story with a well thought out weaving plot and pulls you into it completely! (Unlike her subsequent novel which was rubbish)!

    My very favourite is Pride and Prejudice. No, really really. I first read it at school, and was determined to dislike it as much as I disliked my English teacher. But I still love it, and read it most years. I also like to reread (guilty pleasure coming up) Georgette Heyer. There I said it!

    So difficult to chose! I recently read Under The Dome by Stephen King and that has made my favourites list. I love the way the author develops characters within the story and how the book clearly depicts human behaviour under pressure.

    Peter Pan - as a kid it whisked me away to a wonderful faraway land of pirates, fairies and adventures & I remember crying because I never wanted to grow up. As an adult it reminds me to always have fun and although I may be growing older I'm not growing up!

    I really love Diana by R F Delderfield. Such a beautifully interwoven love story between the two main characters.

    I;m currently reading The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared & it's quickly becoming a firm favourite. It's so different & really sweet. I can't put it down!

    Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. It is the finest book in the world! So wide in scope and so, so detailed. The character of Cal is the one of the best and most believable narrators of any story ever written.
    I read it at least twice a year. I dearly hope it never gets turned into a film because it's just too good for that!
