This one follows two women, Lyn and Bridget, in two different time periods. Their stories are connected.

Well in the interest of trying to get more FanFare activity because I love it and get so much from it.... I have not read this book/series but I have now borrowed the first from my local library as I had not heard of it but it sounds like something I would like.

Rook is a great opener and the FF thread is here.

I enjoyed this one - the WWII part of the story reminded me of Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis. Rook is still my favorite of the series.

There were some fun Easter egg references to other British literature in this one.

Oh, really interested in this. I thought Rook was a lot of fun, but didn't like Stiletto much at all.

I only just heard this book existed! Got it but haven't had time to start it yet, grr. Glad there's a thread for later.
