I'm half in love with Jackson, too! I need a man like that in my life...anyhoo, her very latest is Started Early, Took My Dog (a line from an Emily Dickenson poem - Kate loves Emily) which Sundae so very kindly gave (mailed) to me for a birthday pressie! Loved that one, too; I also have Emotionally Weird which some critics weren't thrilled with but I LOVED it. I feel like I've actually been to the places she writes about. The landscape and culture are as much part of the story as the characters and plot.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
