The Roots of the Olive Tree
The Roots of the Olive Tree: A Novel
by Courtney Miller Santo
The Roots of the Olive Tree (7/5/2012)
The author started with a strong premise but somehow got lost. There were just too many tangled, unfinished questions to make an enjoyable story. I would give this one a miss.
Until the Next Time
Until the Next Time: A Novel
by Kevin Fox
Until Next Time (3/3/2012)
Started off slowly and with some need for intense concentration to keep characters in the right time frame. As the story moved forward characters became clear and concentration could move to the underlying theme. I would recommend this book for those interested in modern Irish history and those willing to consider the fabric of time.
The Map of True Places
The Map of True Places
by Brunonia Barry
The Map of True Places (4/14/2010)
Ms. Berry has the ability to allow a reader to see a character's soul. She artfully weaves together the past, present and future into a strong story. The Map of True Places, provides a window into the life of a Parkinson's patient that allows the reader to both emotionally and intellectually understand the impact of this disease. This book hooks you at the first page and does not let go, even at the last page. Would recommend this to most of my friends. Cannot wait for Ms. Berry’s next book.
South of Broad
South of Broad
by Pat Conroy
South of Broad (9/23/2009)
Mr Conroy's new book South of Broad was worth the wait. Making use of the magic of language ,he tells the story of a time,a group of friends and a city. These themes are woven together in a seamless interdependent manner. This book will appeal to a broad reader base.
