I feel like I am finally getting a good history education while doing something I love. The story-line of this book very much interests me.

Hope you can get to it soon.<br /><br />Staci - I'd never heard about it either...think you would like this book.<br /><br />E.L. Fay - Not many people in the US seem to know about this. My husband learned about it at the Transportation Museum when we were in London a couple months ago.<br /><br />Read the Book - Yes, you need to get back on the waiting list and finish this! We had a great time in Florida... our first vacation with the whole family in a couple of years. Loved every minute:-)<br /><br />Lisa - I read Atonement, but didn't make the connection.
