Why read it?
1 author picked The Summer Country as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love historical fiction. So lastly, for something a little different - perhaps to read while you are waiting for the cookies to come out of the oven!

From Monica's list on for people who love baking cookies.
