England

Teddy Rose said, "I read another good book for England I would like to suggest: The Sealed Letter by Emma Donoghue. Here's the link to my review."

The Sealed Letter is based on a divorce scandal that shook Great Britain in 1864. Miss Emily "Fido" Faithful, a unmarried businesswoman active in the feminist movement, runs into her friend, Helen Codrington. Fido used to live with Helen and her husband Harry and, so, gets caught up in the details of Helen’s failing marriage. When she tries to help Helen, there's mud slinging from both sides in court and the tabloids. What will happen to Fido's reputation? The Sealed Letter is Donoghue's third book exploring Victorian society and life as seen through the eyes of the poor (Slammerkin), the very rich (Life Mask), and the middle class (The Sealed Letter). This book won't be published until April 30, 2008, the middle of next week.

Oh, Emma Donoghue, she is the one who wrote Room, which I loved! Here's a link to Little Bee which would fit under England and Nigeria
