More sophisticated chick lit
I stumbled upon this book at the library, thought the story seemed interesting from the jacket summary. I am so glad I found this book! If this is considered chick lit, it definitely is a more sophisticated kind of chick lit. It deals with more serious issues such as war, poverty, Africa, etc. But you can still enjoy it as a chick lit novel ... meaning the politics of the issues I mentioned ...

Many summers, many guests
Justin Cronin writes beutifully! He weaves characters, their stories, big life questions, and time into something larger than the norm, leaving this reader pondering my own life, family and sense of place. Cronin's Mary and O'Neill was rich, too. Bits of metaphor and vividness in both.

I would give it six stars if I could
This is a long book - it feels like a 1000 pages - but it is a masterpiece. Dickens takes us from Marseilles, home to an evil man whose smile makes his moustache disappear under his top lip and draws us into a dark, damp, murky Victorian London where one's whole future existence seems to be mapped out at birth, and where to escape from one's perceived 'destiny' is both sacriligeous and ...

A joyous read and a great work
There is great joy to be had from this wonderful book. Its first joy is its prose - sparkling in its clarity, musical, effortless - which carries one along on a journey through the thoughts and feelings of Viennese 48 year old Franz-Joseph Murau. Intellectual resident of Rome, alienated by choice from his Austrian family, friend to Archbishop Spadolini(who is also his mother's lover!), he ...

It's Smokey In Memphis
This mystery introduces us to Smokey Dalton, a black private investigator living in troubled Memphis in 1968. Due to the colour of Smokey's skin and the period this is set, the racial issues dealt with are bordering on explosive. This is a remarkable work of fiction that integrates a factual event, that being the days leading up to the assassination of Martin Luther King, jr. It captures the ...

talented debut novelist
I first read parts of this book when I was a member of Hearts Through History. Ms. Kath-Bilsky was racking up the contest finals and wins at an amazing pace. Over a two year period she surely set a record! Only, historicals were going through a slow time, and so many very good historical writers were not getting their books bought. So hats off to Highland Press for recognising her talent and ...

Interesting book
I've enjoyed Cresswell's paranormal books in the past and only recently discovered that she writes suspense fiction as well. I found The Inheritance hard to put down, not just because I wanted to know what happened next, but also because I was interested in the moral dilemma faced by the heroine, Isabella Joubert. She loves her father, but knows he's a criminal. She loves her sister and ...
