ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Don't read this if you want a historically accurate and sensible novel! But if you want a divertisement on a rainy day with your favourite box of chocolates and pot of beverage at your left elbow, go for it! Kate is a 20-something financial analyst in a Wall Street bank, overworked and under-respected, so when the legendary and mysterious businessman Julian Laurence insists on working with her, she is more than surprised. His handsome frame and courtly old-fashioned manners win her over, but he (of course!) has a strange secret - he is really the celebrated soldier-poet of WWI who disappeared on the Somme, presumed killed. An American woman appeared to him on the eve of battle and foretold his fate… The timeslip element doesn't hold up to scrutiny, but it isn't why you read these sorts of novels! As I said earlier, it's a fine distraction from the everyday world. Lindy
