Longing to begin it. I'd agree with your favourites, Emma. Lovers & Newcomers is probably my least favourite but I enjoyed Sun at Midnight and Iris & Ruby. I think Rosie's great at writing sense of place.

I felt like I was with her, trapped by the snow in a cold mountain guest house. Loved also the descriptions of Srinagar.
