Loose Id, LLC, 2005

Fantastic!!!
Doreen De Salvo hits the mark again with two outstanding futuristic erotic romances. I am sure you all don't need a run down of the plot again. But I will agree with my fellow reviewers. The plot is solid, with believable and engaging characters, and hotter than hot love scenes. You don't find many authors who can blend a fantastic plot and sizzling sex as well as Doreen De Salvo.

Thoughtful look at a complex subject
Speaking about her own experience as well as that of others with whom she has spoken, Louise Desalvo writes a thoughful book about the complex subject of adultery. This is not a self help book but rather a look at what motivates an adulterous relationship and an exploration of both the good and the harm that such a relationship brings.

The Feminist Press at CUNY, 2002

An engaging look at the impact of depression on a life.
Louise DeSalvo's memoir captivates the reader. It offers an honest portrayal of depression's effects on her life, as well as the lives of her more clinically depressed mother and sister. DeSalvo transforms the pain of her life into art. This is an inspirational story that will allow you a deeper look into the effect depression has had on this brilliant Virginia Woolf scholar.

Crazy in the Kitchen: Foods, Feuds, and Forgiveness in an Italian American Family

4 reviews
Louise DeSalvo

Bloomsbury USA, 2005

A beautifully written memoir
I felt compelled to write this after reading the other reviews because I believe that a book should be judged in accordance with it's own intentions and not by what other people think it should have been. This book is not the typical happy-family-eating-meatballs memoir, nor is it a light, breezy, funny foodie memoir. It is an exquisitely-written, ultimately loving remembrance of a family in ...

Louise DeSalvo

Beacon Press, 2000

Validation Personified
My daughter Debbi gave me this book for my birthday. I read Ms. DeSalvo's book when I was in the final stages of confronting the tragic suicide of my father that happened two days before my high school Senior Prom. For nearly fifty years after the day my entrepreneur father put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger his death gnawed at me. By facing what happened to me on that dreary spring day ...

The Milk of Almonds: Italian American Women Writers on Food and Culture
Edvige Guinta

The Feminist Press at CUNY, 2003

Now in paperback, this spirited and groundbreaking anthology defies generations of stereotypes about Italian American women. Here, more than fifty writers respond to and explode the familiar stock images: the nurturant grandmother lovingly stirring the sauce, the domineering mother wielding wooden spoon and garlic press. In place of these clichs, they offer a sumptuous communal feast of poetry, stories, and memoir, in which readers can taste the ...

Boston Stranglers: The Public Conviction of Albert Desalvo and the True Story of Eleven Shocking Murders

Susan Kelly

Diane Pub Co, 1995

The Truth at Last
I have just acquired a copy of this book from a second-hand bookseller, and am astonished to find that it's out of print and there has apparently never been a paperback edition. I followed the Strangler case as each new murder was reported in the UK press, and it remains the archetypal horror story for me because it proves conclusively that one isn't safe even (above all) at home. I also ...

The Letters of Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf

2 reviews

Cleis Press, 2004

Letters of the past
I read this book in really few time, and enjoyed it page after page. The life of these two women unfolded as the years went by. It's the right reading if you want to find out how Vita and Virginia lived, beyond their works; and if you want to discover how pure, and intense a relationship can be. Time has no meaning then. Just, throughout the reading I wondered if it's right for us to know such ...

Secrets: The Best in Women's Sensual Romance, Vol. 2

13 reviews
Bonnie Hamre, Susan Paul, ...

Red Sage Publishing, Inc., 2004

Buy it for "Roarke's Prisoner"!
Angela Knight's futuristic space romance (and it *is* romantic!) is worth the cost of the book all by itself. The others all range from good to great, but I considered them just a bonus. "Roarke's Prisoner" tells of two enemy starship captains who had a sensual run-in in the past and have not been able to stop thinking about one another. Finally, he has captured her and has her at his mercy. ...

Melymbrosia: A Novel

1 review
Virginia Woolf

Cleis Press, 2004

A passionate journey
Woolf's first novel "Melymbrosia" was completed in 1912, but wasn't published until 1915 under the title "The Voyage Out". Louise DeSalvo has pieced together this first manuscript to offer the public a glimpse into the early creative mind of Woolf. Following the same basic plot as "The Voyage Out" (a young woman's journey to sexual and emotional awakening), "Melymbrosia" is much more frank in its ...

Virginia Woolf: The Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse on Her Life and Work

5 reviews
Louise A. DeSalvo

Ballantine Books, 1990

Excellent, eye-opening analysis of Woolf
DeSalvo has given us something ground-breaking, heart-breaking, but above all important, in this book. This book brings so much insight into Woolf, her work, and the time in which she lived (ie V.W. as representative of the experience of other children of the time) and does it all in 305 immensely readable pages. This is that kind of fantasy bridge book that allows true readers insight into an ...

Andrew Jackson Davis - The First American Prophet and Clairvoyant

Lulu.com, 2006

The Great Harmonial Philosopher
Though I am giving this book only 3 stars, I want to congratulate Mr. DeSalvo on both his passion for Davis's writings and thought as well as his bringing him back from undeserved obscurity. The flaws of this book are only in the superficiality & brevity of the topics he seeks to cover in such a short overview. Jackson is still in need of a comprehensive full scale biography. Andrew Jackson ...
