I always say <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/austen-jane-northanger-abbey.html" rel="nofollow">Northanger Abbey</a> is so different from all of Jane Austen's other books that it could almost be from another author.

That was my first one and has remained my favourite, although the others are also great.<br /><br />"The Island" is a wonderful story, well written, as everything by Victoria Hislop. I have just started her latest one, "Those Who Are Loved", another novel about the Greek history. I have read a few books about <a href="https://momobookblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Greece" rel="nofollow">Greece</a> but the best history book was <a href="https://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/woodhouse-cm-modern-greece-short-history.html" rel="nofollow">Modern Greece. A Short History</a> by P.M. Woodhouse which I was given by a Greek friend. The ones by Victoria Hislop have added to that. So much recent history that most people know nothing about.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-39835104556926388142020-07-28T22:42:39.130+02:002020-07-28T22:42:39.130+02:00I like how far back you went with this.
