really short book

This is our pick for July's book. (Sarah picked it, but as I was already posting my review on my blog, I figured I'd come over here and put this up while I was online.)

It's a very short, quick read. Better written than her earlier stuff.

I'm already done, so my copy is up for grabs.

Read This Book!

I just finished reading this, and I absolutely LOVED it!

Basic story: Retired Major, widowed, very traditional Englishman, living in small-town England, becomes friends with the Pakistani shopkeeper (a widow), and said friendship develops into something more. He knew her for years, she mixed up special tea blends for him, but they'd just never become friends, outside the shop, until the day his brother dies. Events unfold, family is, well, like family, a little odd, a little less than you'd hoped, and nobody is in favor of their romance. He wasn't looking for it, and neither was she, but, there it is.

If you're on the waiting/hold list at Orem Library, I'm returning it today, a whole 5 days early, so your spot could come up sooner than you think. If you aren't on the list, get on it! I wanted to make sure this was one to own, before spending $20 on it, as it's new, and not out in paperback yet. I'll be buying a copy, definitely.
