I won't say more as I wouldn't want to spoil the story for other readers. Looking forward to your next book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870332382319896507.post-51841418307218880902008-06-13T18:07:00.000+01:002008-06-13T18:07:00.000+01:00Oops, Pond LanE!

Both are fairly light-hearted holiday reads with one or two more serious underlying themes which some (usually younger) readers don't pick up on at all. I don't mind about that, as long as people enjoy them. As my third novel will be set in Paris too (more on this when contract is signed), you could start with Pond Lane and then, if you fancy a change of scene, move on to Geneva and An Old-Fashioned Arrangement.Susie Verekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231577537523515291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870332382319896507.post-25231339901760422672008-06-12T23:42:00.000+01:002008-06-12T23:42:00.000+01:00I used to loathe hydrangea with a vengeance - ever...I used to loathe hydrangea with a vengeance - ever since I was a child and there were some of those bluey/pinky ones in my garden, which for some reason I simply could not stand. And my mother would spray the skeleton heads silver for Christmas floral arrangements, which I hated even more! But then I acquired a pure white one in my White Garden at my previous abode and completely fell in love with it. <BR/><BR/>I feel I really should read one of your books - which one should I start with?Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055924620237477722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870332382319896507.post-71323287285163971772008-06-12T09:25:00.000+01:002008-06-12T09:25:00.000+01:00Great!
