Mr Rosenblum's List by Natasha Solomons
Sadie had never thought of a house as a living thing before - it was a thing, which one filled with other things, like furniture and books. Yet the walls were painted with limewash so that the stone could breath and at night the house did feel almost alive, with its creaking and the sounds of the stream, trickling, trickling.
pg. 79
So far I am finding the book really sweet. It was recommened to be liked by those who enjoyed "The Guensey Potato Peel and Literary Society" and as I enjoyed that I thought I would give it a try. And again, it is easy to read and an interesting story.
For those who read last week's teaser from Requim for a Wren - I finished that book. I really liked it and the ending was both sad and moving.

That does sound like a great summer read! You should hear our house at night in the winter - sounds alive too :)

The teaser does sound really sweet. Love the way it's written.

I've had that feeling about some houses before...if only those walls could talk!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Great teaser. Very visual. I have two this week at The Crowded Leaf.
Excellent teaser- I like the part about the house being alive at night with creaking and - as if the house is settling in for a rest. My teaser and contest link is here
Nice of you to mention Potatoe... diff style of writing.
If your book is anything like Guernsey PPP Society I am definitely going to put it on my list. Loved it. Always glad to find fimiliar works to ones you enjoy. Thanks for already checking out my TT selection.
Oops! Sorry for the typo above--make that similar, not "fimiliar"! Must go to sleep!
I haven't heard of this book. I've heard great things about "The Geunsey Potato Peel and Literary Society." Thanks for visiting my blog yesterday.
