Saturday! NOT Sunday 11th July - Mrs Endicott's Splendid Adventure

 I was searching through my Commonplace book this morning for a poem (which I don't think I have written down yet) and tripped across this quotation

"Prayers don't have to be elaborate things. Why don't you start with 

three things you're blessed with,

three things you're afraid of,

and three things you ask of Him?

And don't forget to listen, too."

Underneath, I have written "Mrs Endicott's Splendid Adventure - by Rhys Bowen". Not an author I have read. 

It's the advice on prayer that caught my attention. It seems doable to me...

On the strength of those words, and the blurb, I have downloaded the book for £1 onto my kindle. 

 "Blindsided by betrayal in pre-WWII England, a woman charts a daring new course in this captivating tale of resilience, friendship, and new love by the bestselling author of The Rose Arbor and The Venice Sketchbook.

Surrey, England, 1938. After thirty devoted years of marriage, Ellie Endicott is blindsided by her husband’s appeal for divorce. It’s Ellie’s opportunity for change too. The unfaithful cad can have the house. She’s taking the Bentley. Ellie, her housekeeper Mavis, and her elderly friend Dora—each needing escape—impulsively head for parts unknown in the South of France."

The book looks interesting, (if not particularly 'holy') and I am already wondering who said these words to whom... 

Ang's comment below alerted me to the fact that today is SATURDAY! So my Sunday-style post is a day early...
