Jock thought so too, quite suddenly. Just as suddenly Von Herman remembered the conventions and introduced them.

This is very low key and not a book of epic p
Emma has to share the spotlight with her son this time around but she's still as worldly-wise and yet winningly human as ever. I really like her character and I didn't mind her young adult son that much. And the depiction of the advertising business in the pre-WWI era is fascinating. Recommended rea
