"Do you know if Audrey Hepburn has done any other books apart from 'The Time Traveller's Wife'?"

Laugh if you will...
Laugh if you will but I have discovered the delights of Edith Piaf. Two cd's at 97p each from Tesco have given me 30+ of her tracks without resorting to the obvious 'Je ne regrette rien'.
'La vie en Rose' has a most wonderful tune and Edith's voice is stunning whether or not you understand the French.
She has a look that is indisputably French and of the 30's & 40's that I love. Closing my eyes I can imagine the music is coming out of a bakelite wireless in an inter-war Parisien kitchen...
48 hours and I'll be back in her pays de naissance avec mes reves d'habiter encore au pays qui me manque depuis des annees.
