Sounds like two good stories,in two different times and countries, but it seems it was a bit of a stretch to connect them.

I think my book club would love this, but we'll have to wait for the paperback. Recipes are always a plus!

Not sure I'll like it but who knows, I've read and loved some books I thought I wouldn't. It's all in the read.

I swear to you, half of my reader today has something about Sarah. And deservedly so. I loved this book. (I'm wondering if Heather is talking about pitching it to the book club that I'm in? I'm hoping so.)

I thought her voice was memorable and engaging and I went on to read Levy's first novel, which was also very enjoyable, though with a different feel to it. Isn't it nice when a book that you've been hanging onto for awhile works out to be the great read that you were hoping for?

I love Sarah McCoy so I bought this a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I'm glad everyone's loving it so much - I can't wait to read it!

I cannot wait to read this one and meeting Sarah has made me want to read it even more.

2012-02-22T12:41:06.703-05:00

I totally agree that this would be a smashing book club selection -- I thought McCoy did a great job of balancing history and current events in a way that wasn't overly simplistic or bland -- there was real meat behind the characters and their motivations.

2012-02-22T12:09:34.229-05:00

It does seen as if this one is universally loved, and I am planning on mentioning this one to my book club when we next meet. I am glad that it kept you invested, and was really glad to see your positive review on this book. I bet I would enjoy it.

Book groups are going to eat this book up -- especially with those recipes in the back of the book. They add the perfect atmosphere for a discussion (yum!).

Ooooo! Must get a copy. I'm heading to Powell's after i have some lunch. Sounds like a wonderful, and realistic story. No sugar coating.. which i dislike in historical fiction. I read 'Small Island' by Andrea Levy a couple of years back. That is a fabulous read also! :)

I hadn't heard of this book before, but have been reading a lot of books about slavery in some form or another in the past few months. I think I would enjoy this one, and the way you describe it makes it sound like a really complex and multifaceted read. This was a particularly wonderful review, Marie, and I enjoyed it.

I can't wait to read your review of The Sisters Brothers. I'm anxious to read The Baker's Daughter.

2012-02-20T12:56:38.489-05:00

I was surprised by The Baker's Daughter -- I enjoyed it more than I anticipated. I have a copy of The Sisters Brothers on my shelf, begging to be read -- someday, soon!

Right now I'm reading a romcom-ish novel from 1910 by Mary Roberts Rineheart called When a Man Marries. It's silly and absurd, but delightful. I'm so digging it.
