Rosewater and Soda Bread: A Novel6 reviews
Marsha Mehran
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008
Warm and Sunny
+ Worthy Sequel
+ I love these girls!
The book is like hot tea, you have to sip it slowly and not gulp it down at one go. One of those books which, if you just look at the content, is not anything special but leaves a "feel good" aftertaste. I read her first book "Pomegranate Soup and enjoyed it and now after reading this one I am a fan

I Don't Know How She Does It308 reviews
Allison Pearson
Anchor, 2003
Just what I needed to read as a juggling mom-professional-wife ...
I read this book a couple of years ago, and I laughed A LOT because I related to much to it. I recommended it to one of my best friends, who is exactly like the protagonist.
Bottom line, I'm only going to say that it was an entertaining read that felt like "hey, I'm not the only one!" and I ...

Charms for the Easy Life (P.S.)62 reviews
Kaye Gibbons
Harper Perennial, 2005
Charmed by this read
+ Character-focused novel about relationships
+ Witty and fun book
Gibbons' book is amount three strong women who possess the determination to succeed and do so with their hearts intact. You'll fall in love with these characters as the author cleverly displays their motives, desires, thoughts, and feelings. I thought this book was a little slow in the beginning, ...

Certain Girls: A Novel155 reviews
Jennifer Weiner
Atria, 2008
A Beautiful Act of Insight
+ Another exquisite book; this time the story of Cannie Shapiro from Good in Bed continues...
+ I missed the Shapiro's-a great addition to the family
The only complaint I have about Certain Girls is how forgettable the title is. This book is not meant to be the same kind of book as Good in Bed. This is the book about what happens after Prince Charming comes along and the gorgeous child becomes a teenager. Jennifer Weiner does a stunning job ...

The Dower House7 reviews
Annabel Davis-Goff
St. Martin's Griffin, 1999
A Modern Classic
+ A Gentle Read.
+ Absolutely wonderful read!
I love reading novels; I try to read the very best ones. There isn't room here to define "best" as I understand it, but often I must read works that are one to two hundred years old before I feel certain that the literary fiction in my lap rates with "the best." Fine, latter-day works like Walker ...
