I would love to read a new environment and setting in which the lovely couple from P&P is put into so this a terrific idea.<br /><br />Question, I don't own a Kindle nor a Nook as both are not shipped to my country. It means the software so reading on PC also could not be downloaded. If I do win, is it possible to get it in other formats like pdf?

Great review, Candy. :) Darcy as a brave, broody, heroic, sexy fighter pilot - yes, please! Lol Can't wait to read this. It's such an interesting period in history. Candy and Mary, have you ever seen the Ken Burns documentary The War? I remember it mostly being about Americans during WW2 but I loved it and thought it was well done (though I'm no expert). I think I went thru a whole box of Kleenex watching it.

I think its interesting that the war broke down the rigid class structure to a certain extent.<br /><br />Look forward to reading this one. Enjoyed your review, Candy!Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.com
