While We Were Watching Downton Abbey

I know, we arent supposed to judge a book by

its cover. But I do and I wont apologize for it.

I have been burned by a cover or title that 

crooked its little finger at me and I couldn't 

resist. But most of the time, it has worked out

in my favor. Following a cover or title has lead

me to new authors that I still follow years later.

And it is quite possible that I have missed fabulous

authors because they have a boring or poorly

photo shopped cover or a confusing title. But more

often, I find good ones. 

Such is the case with While We Watched Downton 

Abbey by Wendy Wax. Never heard of her. But I 

am a crazy fan for Downton Abbey. Not only does

this book have a terrific title it boasts a wonderful

cover too! 

The story is interesting. Three women that are in

completely different places of their lives. Their 

situations and dreams are nothing alike. They all 

live in The Alexander. In any other place, they likely 

would never even speak to each other. But as it

happens sometimes, people fall into your life because

of a moment, a situation....it just leads them to you.

Or you to them. 

Samantha, Claire and Brooke have fallen into each

others lives. The story follows them thru their 

hard times and good times. We women tend to

be great friends to each other. Then that leads to

wonderful stories. Wendy Wax has taken that cue to

write this wonderful story. You will love how she 

weaves Downton thru the book. The characters are

interesting and real. You will want to find out if there

is an available apartment in The Alexander.
