Jodi Taylor - The Chronicles of St Mary.Re: What book are you reading now?
I have just finished reading "Calling Home" by Julie Kibler. It was hard work to put the book down, an excellent read. The front cover states "for fans of The Help". Two main characters in the book, a very old white lady and a younger black lady. The book is mainly about the old lady relating the story of her life from the age of 16 when she fell in love with a young black man and the tragedies that happened when her family found out.Re: What book are you reading now?

Currently reading "Broadsides, The age of Fighting Sail, 1775-1815", by Nathan Miller. The focus is largely on the Royal Navy and it's on and off battles with the French, Spanish, and fledgling navy of the United states. I've read books of this era before, but this is among the best.Re: What book are you reading now?
I have finally finished War & Peace. It was hard going but I'm glad I did it. Spurred on by my achievement, I attempted Ulysses by James Joyce but that was impossible. It's a shame because he was obviously a very talented writer but insisted on writing joined up drivel. Some people love it I know but to me it's the Kings New Clothes.
