CL - Woman author from Great Britain/ UK

I totally do not mean to "segregate" or "pigeonhole" women authors. This is just - my whim.

For this challenge, we will simply read a book written by an author from the chosen country, & mandatorily choose a woman author. Simple.

This book can be in any genre, including non-fiction, but excluding "instructionals" such as "self-improvement & cookbooks. This book can be in any language, & written at any point in history.

The swap must be in English, & briefly consist of :

• Title & author of the book you read

• Why did you choose this book?

• A brief summary of the book

• A brief review--what did you think of it?

• Did you find any special "country-based" features in the book? In the language, in the choice of subject, in the treatment of subject?

• Did you find a special "woman's touch"? Was it a good or a bad thing?

• Did you learn something (anything) new?

Since most of the Swap-Bot members are from the USA, we will come to USA at a later point.

This round's country is GB/ UK.

Those who have read fab (women) authors from Scotland/ Ireland/ Wales are most welcome to post suggestions in the comments.

3 partners. Manual filtering because within a group. I will definitely check profiles.

I will angel if required.

Future Challenges :
