Petite Anglaise sounds familiar, maybe I read about it in the paper when the author was 'outed' or maybe it's that she shares my maiden name! xxJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11844446959077947921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-1762822288464462882012-06-21T19:31:07.347+01:002012-06-21T19:31:07.347+01:00I read the Big Stone Gap books and loved them - wa...I read the Big Stone Gap books and loved them - wasn't too sure about one or two of her others.

Ive also read Lucia Lucia which was lovely too. To each his own I suppose. I think the trilogy would have been too much to read one after the other, but I loved the characters she created and I found myself caring about what happened to them.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-90720716540162230112012-06-20T20:53:57.612+01:002012-06-20T20:53:57.612+01:00I really enjoyed Queen of the big time, which is n...I really enjoyed Queen of the big time, which is not usually my kind of thing. On the back of that I tried the big stone gap series (an omnibus version I picked up in the charity shop). It was so banal and boring I couldn't finish it. I wouldn't bother reading another of hers now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-22988542478890632072012-06-20T20:29:08.593+01:002012-06-20T20:29:08.593+01:00I've read a few of Adriana's books.
