The Minotaur 15 reviews Barbara Vine
Vintage, 2007
In the House of Murdoch
+ Another English story that's a good read + Monsters, monsters, everywhere
Ruth Rendell's latest novel under her other name, Barbara Vine, is one of her best efforts to date. As with all the books under the Vine name, the question here is not so much whodunnit as how did something awful come to happen: in this case, we know that the heroine, Kerstin Kvist, went to an ...

Nectar: A Novel of Temptation 8 reviews Lily Prior
Harper Perennial, 2003
Enjoyable
I don't know how she does it, but I can't seem to put Lily Prior books down. She has filled a book with totally unlikable characters and she has made it thoroughly enjoyable. I don't love this book as much as I truly loved La Cucina - the language didn't seem quick as poetic, but as long as you can ...

When the Cat's Away 29 reviews Garance Clavel, Zinedine Soualem
Columbia/Tri-Star, 1998
One of my most favorite movies ever
+ Girl finds village in the big city + A Miniature Masterpiece
This is such a wonderful portrait of Modern Paris, and a peep inside a great character's life. I needed to have this to watch on rainy (or sunny for that matter) days. Highly recommended especially if you like movies shot in Paris, movies about women coming of age, and films like Amelie. ENJOY!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (Penguin Classics) 5 reviews Lewis Carroll
Penguin Classics, 2003
pay no attention to the fool below me
+ Wonderland + Delightfully silly and witty
I was shocked when i saw that the Alice books got 3 stars. these are literary classics , the two most complicated "children books" with many levels of interpretation. I know people have different tastes but this deserved an overall score of at least four.

I watched this movie because the Director's previous offering of Bread and Tulip was so uplifting and funny. The same actress returned this time as a bookshop owner who fall for a married man who was younger than she was. Then, there's her younger brother who was an architect who suddenly was ...
