Meadowlark by Melanie Abrams
Rated this one as 4* (8/10). My review is here:-
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am pleased to report, I have finished the 2021 A-Z Locations Challenge. Read my final book ... The Lessons ... earlier this month (see message 32 for full list of reads). Not an easy challenge to select books based on their 'location', as some books don't mention where they are set in their blurb. With that said, it was a very enjoyable experience, as I was able to read some wonderful books! Thanks for organising and moderating the challenge Brenda.

Finished! What a fun challenge. It expanded my range quite a bit, I must say. I finished with a reread, after about forty years, of Justine from The Alexandria Quartet which I suddenly remembered for X. Will go on to read the remaining three books next year. Wonderfully evocative writing and imagery and was the instigation for an eventual visit to Alexandria in 2011.
