Baby name finderTip of the day
Don't get in a panic over Christmas. Keep a box and put a little in it every week - small gifts, wine, nibbles, napkins etc. This way, you'll be more relaxed and less skint in December! keriku

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."
Recipe of the week
Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

The russuan concubine: Kate Furnival |
(5 Posts) |
I was disappointed by The Russian Concubine, especially since she isn't a concubine.
Sorry to disagree cyteen but whilst it wasn't the best written i did enjoy them both - that said I would be hard pushed to tell you much about the plot now.
Oh god, Blood Red Sky is in my top 10 Most Badly Written Books Ever. Even reading it one month post-partum with my scrambled baby brain couldn't disguise the awfulness of it.
Sorry motherducky!
Sorry motherducky!
I loved it, would like to know just how historically accurate it is.
I've just finished reading another of her books - 'the blood red sky' which I couldn't put down or stop telling people about (I think it was even better), and noticed mention of a sequel to the russian concubine which I definately want to read.
please read it and tell me what you think!
