Thanks, Donna. There's no hurry, because I'm reading one now and have Until You to scan and re-validate -- just whenever you can get to them is fine. I admit that I've scoffed at and scorned and eschewed rmance novels until now, but I'm hooked on Small's books, partly because they'e better written than many but also because, in addition to the stories, the historic detail is so detailed and accurate, both as to historic personages and such things as the customs, costumes, food, etc. I just found out, by checking the encyclopedia for Palmyra because I wanted to lcoate it better in my mind, that the main characters and events in this particular book, Beloved, ar historical characters and the events -- battles, deaths etc.--did occur -- though obviously the details of the love relationships probably are made up. Anyway,I thank you. Dilsia, I think Noel is already scanning the Time Traveller's Wife. Better not do much on it until you hear from him. Cindy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
