A Good Read

If you like Maeve Binchy or Rosamund Pilcher, you'll like Marcia Willett. It says so right on the book cover, but for once the P.R. is right. Her books detail with compassion and an eye for the beauty found in the English countryside the lives and family relationships of seemingly real people. She doesn't wear rose-colored glasses but does convey the warmth and beauty in "ordinary" lives, finding the heart and the meaning in the way most of us live.

Willett is a U.K. author who published several books in England before publishing in the U.S. I'm in the middle of her first U.S. book, A Week In Winter, and I'm loving it. It's the second of hers I've read and I loved the other one, too. Our local library carries her books, so I imagine others will as well.

If you want a good read, make haste to the nearest library and check out a book by Marcia Willett. You won't be disappointed.
