All You Could Ask For
by Mike Greenberg
All you could ask for in a book (11/28/2012)
Brooke, Samantha and Katherine became a part of my life from the very start. The three strong independent women each of whom had difficult relationships with men and family were fully developed as characters who did not take an easy path through life.
The circumstances that bring them together is compelling, tragic and gives the reader an insight to true emotions.
A great read for a book club with a great deal to discuss, contribute and challenge.
The Bloodletter's Daughter: A Novel of Old Bohemia
by Linda Lafferty
Bloodletter's Daughter (10/2/2012)
I really enjoyed the book as it was a reminder of the power of families during the 1600 hundreds. The character development is wonderful and you are left with a feeling of suspense and surprise as they interact.
A great conversation book for book clubs and for those interested in history.
