We're Back!

Yes, the Book Babes are back, Large and Centre after being flattened out by the summer heat.
This time we've got for you The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder, a Norwegian writer (!). Naturally I had to go see if he is as handsome as Norwegian's usually are and I got a look here >>.

Well, lets keep superficial subjects like looks aside and talk about the terrific novel that Jostein Gaarder has  written instead. The Solitaire Mystery is about Hans Thomas and his father who drive off in search of Han's mother. During the journey Hans is given a magnifying glass by a dwarf and a tiny book hidden within a sticky bun by a baker. The story alternates between the journey and the story within the sticky bun book. Slowly the two stories merge....

At the moment, I'm living within playing cards, rainbow fizz, a drive through Europe, strange islands, profound thoughts about life, fantastic fruit, six- legged animals...I want to quickly post this and go back into that world of The Solitaire Mystery once more - a second hand book I picked up at Blossom's on a whim, because I liked the cover and which hasn't disappointed me.
Well, more later... :)
