Book Reviews

Recently I was approached by Blogcritics to write reviews for them. This page is an easy way to have a browse through the books that I have read and reviewed. I hope you enjoy! Just click on the link below the book covers to be taken to the relevant review.



My Escape by Benoite Groult




The Romanov Stone




A fabulous book. The true story of the author's parents - Mi-Chan and Sonny. Her mother a survivor of the Hiroshima bomb and her father a black American pilot. Beautifully written - I loved it and I hope you do too!!




Another book by Richard A Singer ... I preferred the one below, but what do you think?



An amazing book that could change your life ...




adult version of a child's story book, as read by an exhausted parent!
