Having previously borrowed Isabel Allende’s Zorro from Long-Suffering Sister (review here), I couldn’t wait for her to lend me this book from the same author (which I bought her last year for Eid).Ines of My Soul is the story of Ines Suarez, one of the founders of Chile told in her own words.

On the other hand she also gets to practice things like her dodgy face-painting on them…(although I do think the moustache […]

Reviews of our visit to Edinburgh Castle and Loch Lomond will appear in Mum and Muslim magazine at the end of the week. My sincerest thanks to all those who kindly […]
