The Knowledge of Water by Sarah Smith. One of my recent library book sale finds. Here's a review:
"Lushly erotic...The centerpiece of Sarah Smith's elegant period novel is the torrential flood that nearly sweapt Paris away in 1910....An exquisite stylist, she observes her characters in the most intimate detail, defining them with witty precision and placing them in a rain-drenched portrait of Edwardian Paris that could hang in the Louvre."
--The New York Times Book Review
I can't wait to get started.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
