The Summer of Living Dangerously

The trouble is that while The Summer of Living Dangerously is very easy to read, and I managed to complete it one afternoon on a rare day off, it just wasn’t as good or as captivating (in my opinion) as Getting Away With It. First off, I found it hard to keep up with the re-enactment as everyone was being someone else and as such we had to keep up with their real names and their re-enacting names. When your concentration level is below-par as mine most certainly is recently it is hard to keep up with who Alice is talking to and about  . No, Alice is avoiding th There was no way I was waiting long before diving into The Summer of Living Dangerously. I love, love, loved Julie's last book, GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

The Year of Living Dangerously is a 1978 novel by Christopher Koch in which a male Australian journalist, a female British diplomat, and a Chinese-Australian male dwarf interact in Indonesia in the summer and autumn of 1965.

Julie Cohen's Summer of Living Dangerously is a fantastic read, a page turning, heart lurching romance that is rooted firmly in today, yet flirts dangerously with the all-consuming fantasy of life in a grand house, during the Regency period. How can you resist the devastatingly handsome and charming James? How can you not adore the flawed and broken Leo? And how can your heart not break for Clara, or soar for joy with Alice as she works through her grief and falls in love all over again.

Alice Woodstock has her life under control. She's successful and she's happy - as long as she continues to ignore the hurt from her past. But when said past walks back into her life in the shape of Leo - the man she married too young, ran away to Paris with and who ultimately broke her heart - Alice is desperate for an escape route

When I read Julie Cohen's book Nina Jones and the Temple of Gloom a couple of years ago my poor toddler had to endure neglect for the day since I couldn't stop reading it.

I do love it when you find a book that captures your imagination, but I'd advise perhaps . .
