Silences of the Heart by Elizabeth Latham - This is a story of emigration and home, and of long-buried secrets - a story which many families will understand and respond to. Claudia Carfax, a painter living in Vienna receives an urgent cable asking her to return to the family home on Vancouver Island, where her elderly aunt is dying. In a cellar under the house, she comes across a tin box full of faded letters from the early years of the century.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres - It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying forces.

But can this fragile love survive as a war of bestial savagery gets closer and the lines are drawn between invader and defender?

Star's grandmother brought her... Cat's mother brought her... We lived in such a perfect world. Why were we so imperfect?
