My Reviews

Domestic Affairs by Eileen Goudge
 
Interesting, Unconvincing, Insightful
well developed characters. A book about betrayal, sruvival , forgiveness. All the women in the book come out at the end as better people .

 
Persuasive, Dramatic
Not one of Grisham's best

The book moves slowly until the last third of it. The cause of the lawsuit that goes to appeal is a subject done over many times. The person chosen to be a new supreme court judge is a weak character, which results in a trajic ending. We did not discuss it for very long. Not enough character development to discuss.

 
Insightful, Dramatic, Inspiring
The story of a lonely abused 14 year old who finds a family, love, and understanding about her past. Only then is she able to give up her anger and go forward with her life

The story of Lily is a beautiful one, wrapped around the history of bees and beekeeping. That in itself is worth reading the book for. Our discussion was long as there were so many areas to explore.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
 
Informative, Dramatic, Insightful
An interesting study of another culture, a book women will be interested in

The author has greater character development in this book than in his first, The Kite Runner. It is very sad, there is much for Western women to discuss about the women of the Middle east.

Song Yet Sung by James McBride
 
Informative, Insightful, Dramatic
The story of slavery in the era of the Civil war, of slaves beginning to flee their captivity, the terrible cost paid by many to do so.

There is an element of fantasy in this book with the main character who has visions of the future for freed blacks, and how she is misunderstood by her own people as she talks of what will be waiting for them down the road. It is also a love story, and of the loyalties that existed between some slaves and their owners.
