Hi David and all, I've just finished State of the Union by Douglas Kennedy which as all of his books, I enjoyed very much. I am still struggling through Freedom and on the RNIB machine I have just started The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. I know Alison loved this book but as I've only read 60 pages, the jury is still out, it seems a bit weird.

Not a lot of action on the list while I have been away. What is everyone reading at the moment? I have to choose a new book to read, and I am scanning another Charity Norman book called "Freeing Grace". It tells the story of a baby who lost her mother shortly after birth, and the battle between the baby's father, who is not really equipped to look after her, but wishes to do so, and prospective adopters who really want her as they are unable to have children of their own. The story is told from both points of view. I will attach the book once it is scanned. David
