This week I've read a novel which kept me engrossed: however, too many people and I couldn't keep up with the story line so have no idea what I've read  :-\

I get confused when books have too many characters too. There is too much to keep up with.

This concerned a family tree down the ages with multiple possibilities as to who sired which child ....... I was lost by the 2nd chapter  ::).  I won't attempt it again.   

I'm re-reading The Cypress Tree and her sequel about the years in Florence.  Karin Marnadi {sp}.  As well as a book about early years in Rhodesia B4 it was Zimbabwe.

That would have confused me so much! Nice to have a book you can re-read. :)

I am now re-reading the Balkan Trilogy by Olivia Manning.  It's so evocative and I almost feel as if I am there with the characters.

"Letters from the Suitcase" by Rosheen and Cal Finnegan - lots of WWII information that 1 wouldn't find in a history book as its person to David Francis.  A page turner.  Suitable for 15+ with an interest in what kept people in touch with each other during difficult times.
