I really enjoyed it but marked it down to 4* for some silly mistakes, only to find those same mistakes still feature in this one as well !! It is baffling that nobody spots them, let alone corrects them !She persists in writing about french windows without writing French properly....even my red squiggly line autocorrect thing picks it up as I compose this review !! This time she does it with chardonnay, too, which
