Viking Adult, 2008

an ambitious success
"People of the Book" drew me in with its title, and had me enthralled from the first page. This is an ambitious work, which could have been a disaster in the hands of a less skilled writer. But Geraldine Brooks does not disappoint; on the contrary, she exceeds my highest expectations. "People of the Book" is an intricate tapestry of one focal point through history, showing the mingled impact of ...

well deserved award winner
Interestingly, I read Year of Wonders ages ago and never picked this up even though I LOVED her earlier books. I thought if I wasn't so hip on recalling Little Women and remembering their story, that I'd be lost. I was WRONG. This is a delightful and incredibly written book and there is no need to be a Little Women addict. This book touches the heart on right versus wrong, war, relationships of ...

Geraldine Brooks

Anchor, 1999

A quest to discover the world as well as discover herself
Australian born Geraldine Brooks spent many years as a foreign correspondent covering the Middle East. I loved her book, "Nine Parts of Desire" which was about Muslim women, and I have followed her life somewhat as she is often mentioned by her husband, Tony Horwitz, in his books "Confederates in the Attic", "Baghdad Without a Map," and "One for the Road." I find her an excellent reporter and ...

Year of Wonders

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

(4.5 stars) a true novel of wonders, both amazing and terrible, in a village struck down by one of the most terrifying diseases
After I'd heard of "Year of Wonders" but before I'd read it my biology class took a day to learn about the bubonic plague. It was fascinating really. The disease comes from a bacteria that is transmitted through flea bites (usually who live on rats but sometimes dogs, cats, other animals) but there is a gene component to how it affects individual people. There are three kinds of genotypes when it ...

Imazighen: The Vanishing Traditions of Berber Women

Margaret Courtney-Clarke, Geraldine Brooks

Thames & Hudson Ltd, 1996

Imazighen: Vanishing Traditions of Berber Women
This book presents an excellent survey of Berber crafts. That all of the drafts represented are done by women, is of special interest. The photos are beautiful, both of the women, and of their crafts. The text provides great insight into the history and meaning of the designs used. This book is a must for anyone interested in tribal arts and crafts.
