Title: The Betrayal of the Blood Lily
Author: Lauren Willig
Genre: Historical spy romance
Thingummies: 3.5

Synopsis: A foolish indiscretion gets the head-strong Penelope married to a cad and packed off to India. Her foppish husband seems to have no idea how dangerous it can be to be a British army officer thrown into colonial intrigues, but Penelope quickly realizes how much trouble they are in. The local ruler is dangerously insane, the French are slinking around, and she would swear someone is trying to kill them. But most dangerous of all might be the charming officer assigned as their escort, who is reminding Penelope that not all men are as useless as her husband...

Movie in the park

I finally made it to one of the movies they show in the park next door. Remarkably pleasant, all around. It's a small park, so there were a reasonable number of people there (maybe 30-40? enough so you had company, not so many it was crowded and uncomfortable). They were showing the new True Grit, which was fantastic. Mattie is my hero forever.
