Review:A great Russian classic but in the traditional Russian genre. Very descriptive writing of people and places with the "normal" tragic Russian ending. Turgenev easily captures the soul of Russian writers of the 18th century. Read more

Review:Having been a fan of Sujata Massey's award-winning Rei Shimura mystery series, I was thrilled to hear about this first Perveen Mistry mystery set in 1920s Bombay, India. There are two interwoven timelines in The Widows of Malabar Hill. One is present-day Bombay in 1921 which shows us Perveen working hard to become an integral part of her father's law firm.

Review:As others who have reviewed this book, I, too, read historical novels about World War II from the Jewish perspective. This novel is written about 3 German women and how survived during this horrendous time in history. Very different and thought-provoking. Read more

Review:Being a devoted fan of Ken Follett, this was another great adventure. From start to finish it was great. My wife and daughter has also read it on thier Kindles and liked the book. Read a few not so hot by Follett but this was a good one. Read more

Review:I had high hopes for this book based on reviews but I wish I had saved my money. None of the characters or plot threads are in any way believable. The end leaves a major plot issue unresolved. simplistic writing and one dimensional characters. Maybe she'll do better next time. Read more

Review:This second volume of the looking glass trilogy is much better than the first volume, the romance was more believable and the plot was less confused. For the most part, the secondary characters added to plot. A little bit formulaic, but fun reading experience.
I'm glad I bought it! Read more

Review:I really liked seraphina, but the sequel sucks.
-there are plot holes
-things aren't explained well and deaths are thoughtlessly skipped over
-I personally find it disgusting in that it presumes relationships with married men are okay if everyone is honest about it, or if they are 3-way.
-the conclusion is so unsatisfying! Read more

Review:Great book, fast read and interesting twist and turn about family and love. Explores mother - daughter relationship in thought provoking ways. Characters open their eyes on how they accept their family members as they are and really see them as individuals with surprising past. Read more

Review:I really like the personality and values of Miss Helena, and the way she intuitively seems to interpret much of Lucas' behavior. Not always, which leads to a few misunderstandings. But on the whole, each of them strongly admires traits in the other. Read more
