Friday Greetings to you!
Actually, I can hardly believe that I've not posted for days. Time has run away with me again and this week has been mainly spent focusing on completing Week 5 of my FutureLearn #FLVirtualRome course which was thoroughly enjoyable. It's now a 'done and dusted' deal with the certificate on the way but I'm sure it won't be the only Ancient Rome research that I do because there's still so much to learn about Ancient Rome. That took care of most of my research reading this past week.
As for my fiction reading for pleasure that continues to be my re-reading of Diana Gabaldon's first 3 'Outlander' novels. I'd forgotten just how long they were back in the early 1990s when I first read them.
After they're finished I've a kindle worth sitting waiting for me - an exaggeration, for sure, but I do have quite a few in my kindle queue. I also have a couple I can't quite access yet, and one of those is The House At Ladywell by Nicola Slade which is on pre-order just now from Amazon. I won't ahve too long to wait, though, since it's being published next week on the 14th of November 2017 by Crooked Cat Books.
It sounds just a tiny bit scary but very intriguing. See what you think from the blurb and the very arresting cover!
Here are the details:
THE HOUSE AT LADYWELL
Nicola Slade
A
hare carved in stone and the scent of flowers in a house full of echoes – can
Freya’s inheritance help her to leave the past behind?
Had
I gone completely crazy that first day? To open the door, take one astonished
look round, and decide on the spot that I would live there?
To
fall in love with a house?’
When Freya Gibson inherits an old, run-down property she has
no idea she is the last in a long line of redoubtable women, including the
Tudor nun who built the house. Unknown to Freya these women, over centuries,
fought with whatever weapons came to hand – deception, endurance, even murder –
to preserve their home and family.
Freya falls in love with the house but her inheritance
includes an enigmatic letter telling her to ‘restore the balance’ of the Lady’s
Well. Besides this, the house seems to be haunted by the scent of flowers.
In the past the
Lady’s Well was a place of healing and Freya soon feels safe and at home, but
she has demons of her own to conquer before she can accept the happiness that
beckons.
