I found the book at British Amazon and will read it during my summer holidays. I'm always looking for new "English teachers" and I think she'll be a better one than Charles Dickens who drives me crazy at the moment.Monika (Filmographysam)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18982581.post-36848300763678140842009-05-05T23:43:00.000+10:002009-05-05T23:43:00.000+10:00@Monika:

I liked her idea to combine the swine flu with the typical "separation-after-vacation". It's so funny to think that you must share the quarantine with your ex-lover, haha. This was my first opportunity to get to know one of Laura Wade's works and I enjoyed it very much. I admire her style of writing.Monika (Filmographysam)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18982581.post-52715305033439286072009-05-03T17:13:00.000+10:002009-05-03T17:13:00.000+10:00Just listened to 'Coughs ad Sneezes' and I'm afrai...Just listened to 'Coughs ad Sneezes' and I'm afraid I wasn't impressed at all. :/m4surehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653154343122570445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18982581.post-69758593872473927272009-05-02T19:53:00.000+10:002009-05-02T19:53:00.000+10:00"Coughs and Sneezes"?
