Populaire

A charmer of a movie.It made me smile.

Partly because the main lead reminded me so much of a beloved friend.

Then there were the beautifully recreated retro images and even more beautiful fashion. And I did not mean just the dresses - it was the typewriters that got me.

I typed with two fingers most of my life, I used to slam the typewriter in the exact same way when i reached the end of a paragraph. And yes, my machine had flown off in the same fashion too when i used too much of my "superhero" strength.

America for business, France for love. Indeed!

Flavia de Luce

Ah....it has been a long time since i read a series of books with a constant smile on my face!

The spirited irrepressible Flavia de Luce gets up to all kinds of situations and mysteries. But she always get the culprits who perpetuate the evil deed.

A very enjoyable series that has an acute underlying sense of humor. Love it !

Just heard news that these books will soon be adapted for a TV series. Hurray!
