Re: Amazon Kindle, Daily Deal
Today's 99p daily deal is the excellent Can Any Mother Help Me? (Jenna Bailey). Several of us on here have found this slice of between-the-wars life a fascinating read - definitely worth 99p!

Re: Amazon Kindle, Daily Deal
Today's Daily Deal looks good...
The Greenhouse by Audur Ava Olafsdottir (set in Iceland)
For Lobbi, the tragic passing of his mother proves to be a profound
catalyst. Their shared love of tending rare roses in her greenhouse
inspires him to leave his studies behind and travel to a remote village
monastery to restore its once fabulous gardens. While transforming the
garden under the watchful eye of a cinephile monk, he is surprised by a
visit from Anna, a friend of a friend with whom he shared a fateful
moment in his mother’s greenhouse, and the daughter they together
conceived that night. In caring for both the garden and the little girl,
Lobbi slowly begins to assume the varied and complex roles of a man:
fatherhood with a deep relationship with his child, cooking, nurturing,
and remaining also a son, brother, lover, and…a gardener. A story about
the heartfelt search for beauty in life, The Greenhouse is a touching reminder of our ability to turn the small things in everyday life into the extraordinary.

Re: Amazon Kindle, Daily Deal
I've just downloaded today's deal, it sounds brilliant - The Misremembered Man by Christina McKenna.....it's got 28 reviews and all are 5 star...and only 99p!
Product Description
The Misremembered Man is a beautifully rendered portrait of life in rural Ireland which charms and delights with its authentic characters and gentle humor. This vivid portrayal of the universal search for love brings with it a darker tale, heartbreaking in its poignancy.

Re: Amazon Kindle, Daily Deal
Today's deal sounds good: Devil-Devil by GW Kent....first in the series and only 99p.
Product Description
Sergeant Ben Kella of the Solomon Islands Police Force is only a few days into a routine patrol, yet already he has been cursed by a magic man, stumbled across evidence of a cargo cult uprising and failed to find an American anthropologist who has been scouring the mountainous jungle in search of a priceless pornographic icon. To complicate matters further, at a local mission station Kella discovers the redoubtable Sister Conchita secretly trying to bury a skeleton � then a mysterious gunman tries to kill her. Kella already has enough problems. Mission-educated yet an aofia, the traditional peacemaker of the islands, reluctantly the sergeant is forced to link up with Sister Conchita, an independent and rebellious young American nun, to track down the perpetrators of a series of bizarre murders. The combination of the witch-doctor policeman and the Praying Mary, set against one of the most beautiful yet dangerous and primitive areas of the South Pacific in 1960, proves combative yet unexpectedly successful.
