In touch with my feminine side!!

They say you should not judge a book by its cover, I now believe that saying to be true.
I have just finished reading a so called "girlie" book. The book was titled "Scapegallows" by an author by the name of Carol Birch.
The book is about a life of a woman in the 1700's, who falls in love with a smuggler. She then leads a double life.
I have had this book for ages, it was a free, unasked for, gift from my book club, and it has just been gathering dust on my bookshelf.
I read the sleeve and decided to give it a try, and I could not put the book down.
An excellent read.
