Thanks for the historical novel info. I did read Désirée. It was really good, and if it was not only slightly less than 500 pages long, I would reread it so it could be on bookshare. I will scan it if someone will promise to edit it thoroughly before approving it. I would of course make sure it was complete and a high quality scan. Annemarie Selinko wrote another book that I found references to a while ago, but I wasn't able to find any copies of the book anywhere. Now I can't even find a reference to it when I do a google search for her name. Too many of the pages I get are in other languages, so I don't want to dig through them. :-) Sarah Van Oosterwijck curious entity at earthlink dot net
