There is nothing like the experiance of the first Lawrence book. If that was the case, then yes, Lady is indeed a fine choice, and I would certainly consider it at the top of your Lawrence list.

Can't offer anything as regards North Korea, but just wanted to say the audiobook of the Definitive Edition of the Diary of Anne Frank will finally be available in English next month.

"Diary of a Young Girl" is one of the required summer readings to be completed by my honors 10 students. Always highly dramatic and memorable...

Well, it's been on my TBR list since high school, and since it's now on the local library's to-order list, I should be able to finally read it!
