I read "Wild Swans" ages ago but it impacted me so much I still have vivid recollections of the story -ahhh, those were the days when I could read big books like that and not feel intimidated by the length!
How are you enjoying "Falling in Love with Natassia"?
I haven't gotten very far, but I am enjoying it. Mary is a dancer with a dancer's awarement of body and movement; Ross is a man who can wield words with grace and skill. Natassia, the daughter, has just been conceived.
Almost through with the Reichs' book. I can tell Wild Swans will be a longer read, but a fascinating one. Jung Chang does an excellent job of making everything-individuals,setting, culture-vivid.
Just spent a bit of time learning about Kathy Reichs. Amazon.com has a video interview with her that increased my interest in her novels. Then tracked down her website and found a list of her series in order. Thanks, Jenclair for introducing her to me. I think I'm really going to enjoy these.
I think I read most of Wild Swans back in '98. Very powerful book!
I read (and reviewed) The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop in August. I thought it was quite good and enjoyed reminiscing about my days as a bookseller. You can read my thoughts at http://tinyurl.com/ylyeed
Booklogged This one is a bit different from her others. Some I've liked, some I haven't.
Les - Your link didn't work, but I found it by searching the blog. Here is a link to Lesley's Review. I can't wait to read it!
Jenclair, can you tell me how to put a link into a comment like you did with Lesley's?
:) It is difficult to believe that I can give a computer tip!
Ooops. Tried to type it out, and it made a link!
Try Webmonkey's Cheat Sheet and look under Link and "Creates a hyperlink."
Lots of other tips on this site, and a color code in the side bar.
Hope this helps!
