Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia301 reviews
Jean P. Sasson

Windsor-Brooke Books, 2001

God bless you, Jean P. Sasson.

+ A very good read
+ To Princess Sultana...

I read this book without regard to ethnicity or political belief. I read it as a woman -- as a human being who suffered at the thought of what other women are enduring in the name of "religion" or "culture." There is no explanation possible to make this palatable to anyone with a conscience. To ...

Keeping Faith: A Novel (P.S.)138 reviews
Jodi Picoult

Harper Perennial, 2006

fictional exploration of miracles and family love that rings true

+ Very Good, Very Addictive, Very Controversial
+ a nice surprise!

Jodi Picoult fearlessly chooses the most difficult topics for her marvelously moving fiction. This time it's miracles, visions, mental illness, broken families, and charlatans of several stripes. Seven-year-old Faith talks with God and casually, even unwittingly, heals the sick. Her fragile mother, ...

March139 reviews
Geraldine Brooks

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006

Adding dimension to a one-dimensional classic...

+ Unanimous favorite
+ "Little Women" From Anothor P.O.V

The "horror", "shock" and "dismay" by reviewers who found March an aborhent departure from the classic that inspired this beautifully conceived novel seems more aptly suited to pre-teens than mature adults. Is it really so amazing that a decent man can be flawed? That a happily married man might, ...

+ A Literate "Rainman"

Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet is an autobiography that you will either find totally engrossing or terribly tedious. Fortunately, I was one who was enthralled by Tammet and his incredible story. Tammet is unusual in many ways. First, he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome (a high ...
