Downton Abbey


The World of Downton Abbey by Julian Fellowes who wrote the series.














My lunch hour at the park; where I thought it would be fun to share with you some eye candy from the book that accompanies the mini series Downton Abbey.  The visuals are just beautiful and full of interesting information about how ones would have lived back then.  And how the actors felt making the series.

It would be a lovely book to add to your library.

Book Lover in Bloomsbury


This photo entitled Wet Winter Evening and a Book Lover in Bloomsbury.  This photo catches the moment and the era of a damp London evening.  One is just there looking over her shoulder breathing in the damp slightly coal smelling air.

Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay



I ran across this paperback at my local library it was a .25c give away and I had always wanted to read it.

In keeping with Paris in July I read Sarah's Key and then watched the film.  The book is a must read. Read the book before you watch the movie, so many more shades to the characters than can be brought out in the film.

Set in Paris, July 1942 there is a great Jewish round up known as the Velodrome d'hiver Round-up.  Sarah a ten year old girl is caught up in this and taken with her family to the Velodrome.

Fast forward sixty years to a journalist Julia Jarmond and see how their two lives become twined to one.

I will post a book review of this on my Lil Bit Brit Lit Blog later.
