April Reads

The Intrigue at Highbury (or, Emma's Match) by Carrie Bebris - 4/3/2012 Good - Historical Fiction After their coach is robbed, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy end up in Highbury, just as a dinner party at Donwell Abbey has ended in murder. This was the last of Bebris' Jane Austen novels. I highly recommend the series and look forward to the next one. Titanic: The Tragedy That Shook The World, One Century Later by LIFE Books - 4/7/2012 Good - Non-fiction Remembering the RMS Titanic and its passengers - photos and text I have been a Titanic enthusiast since I was 12 or so. This was a lovely book with beautiful illustrations and lots of good information.  The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani - 4/9/2012 Good - Historical Fiction Enza Ravenelli and Ciro Lazzari meet as teenagers in Italy but both emigrate to America shortly afterward. I enjoyed this a lot more than the last few I read from Trigiani. Reminded me more of her Big Stone Gap series that I liked a lot. Titanic
