This was a good book. My son and I really enjoyed it. We laughed and we thoroughly enjoyed reading it together.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. I don’t need a book that mentions the pandemic all the time and I didn’t like the main character at all either. It was a predictable read.

I liked how it showed how people lived a long time ago in the old days. I didn't like the pictures as much as some other books.

Interesting book, it was very fun and I learned a lot. The behind the scenes info on the process of creating and filming The Guild was very informative.

I loved how they made cupcakes that they liked best. I love cupcakes.

It was ok but not the best by Rebecca Serle. I loved One Italian Summer. The characters were a bit jammed together

This is an excellent book. It is historical fiction. The main character lived and was a midwife but the author created a story around her. Martha and her husband Ephraim are wonderful people/characters who you like, respect and admire. A wonderful book to read. This is my second time reading it.

Amazing storyline, and a huge twist at the end. The story was addicting and engaging.

The author harkens back to the time where actors and actresses were king and queen and movies were all the rage right before the horrors of World War II. This book, which I hope is the first in a cozy series, takes place during the filming of Hitchcock's famous movie Rebecca. The plot revolves around a young Hollywood script supervisor, Evelyn Galloway, who finds herself embroiled in a mystery surrounding the murder of an actor from the studio she is working at. With the help of her room mate and others actors, she finds herself in an adventure that evokes the time and place of the early 1940's. I had seen Rebecca a few times previously and now after reading this "behind the scenes" (albeit fictional portrayal of Hitchcock and the main actors), I want to see it again. The mystery has a great ending and Evelyn then accept a job working on another Hitchcock movie, The Foreign Correspondent, so I hope that means there will be a followup. Likeable characters and very interesting plot. I found myself googling various people and events in the story to gain more insight. A fun read overall!

This book by the author of The Frozen River did not disappoint. A novel based on the true exploits of the "White Mouse" in Vichy Government France of WWII, the book alternates between 1939 and the end of the war. Many of the hard-to-believe events actually occurred, as the woman who wore red lipstick managed to lead an army of resistance fighters, secure supplies, and perform truly death-defying acts in order to thwart the Nazis who occupied France from 1940-1944. Unforgettable!
