Hi Deborah, My name is Becky Carden, and I'm new to the group! I just wanted to say, I second your recommendation on "The Virgin Blue", by Tracy Chevalier! I read it this month, and it was fabulous!! I had never read anything by her before, but now I want to read her other books! My ancestors, Oziers, were from the Languedoc region of France, where the book was set, so this made me enjoy even more! Becky
