Jeffrey Archer is in there (and sounds really very interesting) as is Georgette Heyer and Wilbur Smith) There are lots of Victorian lady novelists which makes me happy and a good sprinkling of dove loves. Each entry is only a couple of pages and includes a reference to, I suppose, the most definitive (or only) biography to be had and the must read text. It's worth a look.Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-41300716163847390232011-12-19T16:23:42.746+00:002011-12-19T16:23:42.746+00:00Belated birthday greetings, Hayley.
