I wonder if later books in the series are any better.<br /><br />And I will definitely look up Laura Wilson's Stratton's War series. Sounds fascinating and right up my alley!<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-34390395111685968772011-09-06T08:48:18.574-04:002011-09-06T08:48:18.574-04:00I have to admit I did not enjoy the first Maisie D...I have to admit I did not enjoy the first Maisie Dobbs book which I read some years ago - a bit simplistic I thought. I don't read historical fiction generally, but did enjoy Laura Wilson's Stratton's War series (first one set in the Blitz, the second one nearer the end of the war and the third in the 1960s).<br />I haven't read Leningrad but my husband read Stalingrad by Anthony Beevoir a while back and thought it excellent.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-46115125365415252862011-09-05T18:01:27.016-04:002011-09-05T18:01:27.016-04:00Tony,

I'll be touring your blog often now that I've discovered it.<br /><br />Stu,<br />If I can be perfectly frank and irreverant, I just damn well hope I can finagle the ECF reading this fall. I do love it so! And good luck to you with your reading goals,<br /><br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-46324859282245629242011-09-05T10:58:25.285-04:002011-09-05T10:58:25.285-04:00look forward to seeing what ECF book you choose th...look forward to seeing what ECF book you choose there seems to be loads out there at the moment on area of translation that is flourishing ,all the best stuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-20380243701240969332011-09-05T06:02:42.058-04:002011-09-05T06:02:42.058-04:00Just noticed your comment on Stu Allen's blog....Just noticed your comment on Stu Allen's blog. I love German lit (having studied German), and I have recently read (and reviewed) a lot of German literature. Most of it is rather old though...Tonyhttp://www.tonysreadinglist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
