In one heroine's room everything is pink: "She knew just what type of woman has a rose-coloured carpet..." (Touch & Go). They're all a bit melodramatic, but quick fun. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-83920224143564765852016-08-23T07:52:24.539+01:002016-08-23T07:52:24.539+01:00Moira, a veritable treasure of free Wentworth eboo...Moira, a veritable treasure of free Wentworth ebooks, a generous offer from a publisher, awaits me in my inbox.

It's fantastic. I'm sorry to hear that this one was such a disappointment, and I know just what you mean about the sort of novel it is.
