I have finished 'Adventures of a Despatch Rider' and very enjoyable it was too. Looking for another book to read, my wife had just finished Victoria Hislops novel 'The Thread' which starts in Thessaloniki in May 1917 and although she warned me that it is a romantic novel aimed more at a female audience it was nevertheless a good read and I should give it a go. Once I have read it I will post a review on the Salonika and the Balkans sub forum.
