Oops, I forgot about The Endless Forest.

I was just skimming over my posts, and realised that I had forgotten to mention the book I read before The Colour. One of my favourite authors is Sara Donati, who has written a series of books set in early America (similiar to Diana Gabaldon style of Cross-stitch).

Anyway, The Endless Forest is the final (and sixth) book in the Wilderness series. This book takes us back to Elizabeth and Nathaniel Bonner who we met int he original book, Into the Wilderness. It is a tough time in 1824 when the village Paradise is nearly totally destroyed by flooding. However, it is also a joyful time, where elizabeth and Nathaniel are reunited with their family.

The joy does not stay long, when Jemima Southern (a nasty schemer and murderer!) returns to Paradise to create havock.
A whole lot of chaos, tears, happiness and surprise follows.
Meanwhile I have managed to score two Jodi Piccoult books to read. I was wandering through Whitcoulls when I spotted Handle With Care on special ($20)! Plus, my mum came up to visit this weekend, and has left me a copy of House Rules to read too. Brilliant!
