Valley of Grace is set in France. She's probably our Grande Dame of literature here. Just check her out, she's great. There are many many others though. Karen Viggers is translated into French and has sold over four hundred thousand of books there. There's Nigel Featherstone, John Clanchy, Alan Gould, plus many more including poets. Geoff Page's verse novel The scarring is a great read.Whispering Gumshttps://whisperinggums.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-28415798165995393772019-10-24T08:14:39.095+11:002019-10-24T08:14:39.095+11:00Yes I've been doing this since 2013 (with one ...Yes I've been doing this since 2013 (with one year off).
