I can't believe I haven't posted this yet - how time gets away from you, huh? Anyway, when my sister was over here we went shopping for books, and she pounced on this one, Loving Frank by Nancy Horan, saying how much she'd loved it. She decided to buy it, saying I could read it as long as I brought it back with me when we go to Paris next month. Oh my goodness, what a FANTASTIC book! I loved, loved, loved it! I wanted it to go on and on... It's about the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the woman he loved and had an affair with in the early 20th century. It's based on a true, scandalous, story, and is beautifully written. Luckily, Steph said to resist the temptation to Google FLW, and I'm glad she did, because it would have totally ruined the surprise. Something terribly shocking happens towards the end, which is part of the true story, not made up - reality is stranger than fiction they say, and here it's totally the case! I recommend it wholeheartedly!
Thats another order at Amazon for me then!!!

Sounds like a fab read and I'll keep an eye out for it. Really getting back into reading on these cold evenings.
My diary came from the vintage workshop but it's not handbag sized - Unless you carry a huge bag that is. I absolutely love it and it almost makes getting organised a pleasure.
