Review of 'The Thorn Birds' on 'Goodreads'

I saw this as a tv series and decided that I should at last read the book. Unfortunately the copy I got from the library had such small print I couldn't cope with it, which is not uncommon in older books. Hence the one star as I only struggled through the first chapter.

Review of 'Remember Me' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Charity Norman creates characters and stories that are relatable and being set in NZ is always a bonus for me. This book covers several emotional issues: Alzheimers, Huntingtons, missing persons, death with dignity.

Charity Norman's books always maintain a steady pace and as with all of her books I found this one hard to put down.
