Quickie Review: Cave of Secrets by Lynne Golodner

I could not put it down! This is an unusual statement for me. More often than not, I read the first few chapters, then set it down to do a few other things before I allow myself another bit of luxury reading. Not so here. Not only did I skip lunch, I delayed shabbat dinner meal prep until the only thing I could whip up in time was a frozen cheese pizza washed down with a bottle of Spotted Cow beer...the perfect accompaniment for any meal. Sucked in right from the get-go, I was drawn into the […]

Quickie Review: I Love You, Charlie Tanner by Lynne Golodner

Being a widow and all, I tend to avoid books about widows. Often they are just wrong...or they are too close to home. I Love You, Charlie Tanner was neither. And I love Charlie Tanner, too. Charlie and James may not have been married, but they were life partners. The interweaving of their past and present is skillfully directed and readily illuminates Charlie's challenges.

I'm maybe about 1/3 through Touba & the Meaning of Night after starting it last night. Greatly enjoying it. It's very specific to time & place but also a story about womanhood under patriarchy, which is very recognizable to me

I'm so excited! I buy most of my books used so they take a while to arrive. I finally got one of the Iranian novels I ordered!

This promises to be delightful.

Unlike my other reviews, this one has two very general comments that are related to the plot... they are not true spoilers because they are so vague.
