If Clarissa is too hard for you,,,,try Sir Charles Grandison
Clarissa besides being one of the longest novels out there is also a hard book to read. Written in a series of letters from the main characters, it is truly work of art. You need to have a dictionary handy when reading this book as you will find many words that are not in your present vocabulary. I am reading Clarissa and I am ONLY on page 157, that is not to say that it is not an interesting ...

A lovely novel for readers to relish
Each word in this novel is placed beautifully, combined to create a work of quiet tenacity and understanding.

If you love to read good writing, writing that sticks like meat on the bones, don't overlook this novel. It is worth every minute.

With her purple state-of-the-art walker, which she can turn on a dime, Violet March is an ...

Sheila Ortiz Taylor, Sandra Ortiz Taylor

University of New Mexico Press, 1996

In this uniquely fashioned memoir, one sister uses words, the other installations to re-create a childhood filled with adventure, tragedy, and the two most glamorous and mysterious people in their young lives: their parents. The setting is Los Angeles during and after World War Two. Hollywood is defining. Cigarettes ubiquitous. A meal is not a meal without meat or eggs. Red lips, toenails, and fingernails match red cotton blouses ...

I Think I Know These People!
I laughed out loud reading this book. Sheila Taylor's characters really ring true to me. What seemed most real was the way each witness at the custody hearing saw the situation from his or her own little world. So often in novels the viewpoints of minor characters mesh too easily with the viewpoint of the main character. In the real world, people are absorbed with their own experience. When ...

Wonderfully different
I was so surprised by this book. Take someone completely out of their background element, throw in some comedic characters and a wonderfully written story and you have this book! I highly recommend it!
