As I said, she has written many standalone books, most of them excellent. Hope you enjoy them.

I'm getting towards the end of Apple Tree Yard and reading your comments, now I can't wait to get to bed and finish it.
Much, much better than the T.V. series, but then, books always are, I think.

What Lawrence tells of the Arab culture actually gives a very useful perspective on current events.
A fascinating character his life after being Laurence of Arabia must have been a let down .

Julie, why struggle with a book? Put it down/away and choose something to enjoy. Life's too short.
