The last book I finished would take me to Dublin on 16th June 1904. Not too keen.
The one I’m about to finish is set in East Yorkshire at the time of the late Queen’s coronation, 1953. I’d go there in a flash, but maybe not to that particular dysfunctional family.

The Lincolnshire fens

My last few:

  1. Israel. As far as I am aware, it is not considered to be advisable to visit at present, let alone live there!
  2. An Amish community in Minnesota. Sadly, I have been told that I would not last for five minutes in such a religious community, because I am not sufficiently submissive to men. Oh, well!
  3. Fair Isle. I’d go and live there in a heartbeat!

A lovely little village in Quebec

Where the author is very clearly in love with her creation, a police detective?

Story Lake, Pennsylvania for my last book (and the one before too).

The ‘Burg, New Jersey for my current one.

High in the rockies in Colorado. I wouldn't last too long.

Currently in 1300's Greenwich.

Last finished book - Washington DC. Current book - the Northern city I live in!

The book I last read happened to be set about 5 miles from where I currently live so it's hardly worth moving there!

I absolutely refuse your suggestion

I'm reading The End Of Everything, and anyone whose read it, or even read the reviews will totally understand my horror at the mere suggestion.
