Fighting France by Edith Wharton. When I saw Edith’s name on this small poppied cover, I couldn’t resist. Her observations as a woman in France during the invasions of WW1 are enlightening.
Maya by Jostein Gaarder. I found this in a tiny library outside a café. The mention of ‘Sophie’s World’ on the cover, which a friend of mine had once recommended, the Fijian setting and the fact that it’s a translation all sparked my interest.
