... target="_blank"> Fugitive Pieces - review From my review: I'll get right to the point: I was ...

I finished A Spell of Winter yesterday and found it just OK. My final Orange July read will be Fugitive Pieces.

Finished - and loved - The Colour, then Fugitive Pieces, which I think I'm still digesting. Now 1/2 way through Old Filth and loving it. Have a nasty head cold, so will get lots of reading done, in between naps.

Now I'm really intrigued ... Fugitive Pieces will be my next read! I'm currently about halfway through A Spell of Winter which got took a surprising turn about 30 pages ago.

The different reactions to Fugitive Pieces are interesting. I loved it, both the story and the writing and would read it again for the writing. But I'm really not a poetry reader apart from some very few exceptions. On the weekend, I saw a Book of Michaels poetry in the library, Skin Divers ...

I read Fugitive Pieces a long time ago and remember liking it. So I jumped when her new book Winter Vault came out I had to read it. My review of that book is similar to yours for this book. I wrote.. I don't think I have read anything so beautifully written in quite a while. It was ...

It has been awhile (12 years) since I first read Fugitive Pieces. I remember being enthralled with the beautiful writing. It wasn't until my reread two years ago that I fully appreciated the story behind it.

I really enjoyed your review Jill. I found Fugitive Pieces hard to read but beautiful. Terri, I liked the first part much more than the second - hopefully you'll be the other way round!

I really enjoyed your review Jill. I found Fugitive Pieces hard to read but beautiful. Terri, I liked the first part much more than the second - hopefully you'll be the other way round!

Bewildered. Bewitched. That pretty much sums up my thoughts on Fugitive Pieces. Here's my review: http://mrstreme.livejournal.com/82879.html

34) Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels (review)

... Small Island, getting the different perspectives of the different characters was so well done! I'm struggling with Fugitive Pieces. Feel like I have to pay such close attention and yet I'm unable - or unwilling - to do that.

My Fugitive Pieces have now arrived in Toronto.

I'm moving around from Biskupin, Poland to Zakynthos, then Athens, Greece, discovering Fugitive Pieces.

I finished The Colour yesterday and loved it. Now reading Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels - what a poetic writer! I have a feeling this will be a memorable read.

... on LT but I'm now intrigued by its complementary story line. I have two more Orange winners awaiting me at the library: Fugitive Pieces and A Spell of Winter, and then I will have read all of the winners!

... by John Bemrose and The Colony of Unrequited Dreams by Wayne Johnston. I also really loved the first half or so of Fugitive Pieces but not the story in the second part. Oops - and of course Anne of Green Gables! I haven't read many Canadian books that I haven't really enjoyed... ...

... they get it right, they get it very right.) Top on my list to read this month are: Gilgamesh: A Novel, What I Loved, Fugitive Pieces, Purple Hibiscus, Half a Yellow Sun, The Idea of Perfection, Brick Lane, The Vintner's Luck... Although it's not perfect: The Autograph Man ...

The winners I have on my shelf are Fugitive Pieces and Bel Canto. I'll be reading both of them during Orange July (as long as all my other reading commitments don't overtake them). ;-)

... Canto. Out of the winners, I have on Mt TBR, The Road Home, Half of a Yellow Sun, The Idea of Perfection, and Fugitive Pieces. I'll be starting with Joan London's Gilgamesh however.

... three of the winners, the best of the three would be Half of a Yellow Sun, it was quite a revelation. But I also thought Fugitive Pieces was a piece of amazing writing. I couldn't finish The Idea of Perfection, the characters were annoying me too much, might just have been my state of mind ...

... one not to read it. Words Unspoken even sounded like something I might like, so I want to try it. Fingersmith and Fugitive Pieces I must read. A Reliable Wife, My Husband's Sweethearts, A Pigeon and a Boy, The Winter Vault, The Art of Racing in the Rain, (so reminiscent of B ...

... The Winter Vault is also on my tbr list though I have yet to read Fugitive Pieces.

On novels, may I also contribute Anne Michaels' Fugitive Pieces - less on the camps, more on the culture and society, and the impact on the generations that follow. The UK Guardian had it as their book of the month recently and there was a great piece from Michaels on what she was trying to ...

... her man worship. I also finished Harry Potter and the goblet of fire. I enjoyed Harry Potter as well. Now I am reading Fugitive Pieces and am really loving this book so far. It is beautifully written.

Yes, I've heard nothing but good things about Fugitive Pieces, I really want to get to it soon! Passing by the local bookshop at lunch today, and they had a sale on, and I have no willpower. I now have two more Orange books on Mt TBR: The Household Guide to Dying The Road Home

>16 Fugitive Pieces is a wonderfully written book. When I was looking through these lists that was the one that made me think that those reading it for Orange July are in for a treat. I'm also, envious of those with Fingersmith and The Colour, these two are still on my virtual TBR pile (not ...

I'm struck by how many people in this group have Fugitive Pieces in their TBR pile. I think this is one of the best books I have ever read. The author is primarily a poet and the prose is just magical. I've read it three or four times now and have The Winter Vault in my TBR pile. I suspect it ...

Okay here are my Orange TBRs: 1. Alias Grace, Margaret Atwood 2. Fugitive Pieces, Anne Michaels 3. Hotel World, Ali Smith 4. The Blind Assassin, M Atwood 5. Fingersmith, Sarah Waters 6. The Accidental, A Smith 7. We Need To Talk About Kevin, Lionel Shriver 8. A Short Hi ...

Ticked a couple more off my 1001 list. Finished Fugitive Pieces very poetic about a subject that has no poetry in it whatsoever. An excellent book. Read Embers very compelling writing. Now having a break from the list with The Well should finish it tonight. I have to say I loved Lad ...

I know it's too late for the German trip, but I have to nudge Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels. Beautifully written, wonderful imagery... a story of survival, of hope. And Bleak House. Dickens always seems to put his stories "on stage" for me... it's the melodrama I suppose.

Book #4: Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels 4 stars - 5 for most of the book, but 3 for the last chunk where the narrator changes. I've written a few comments over on my Book Nudge pile... hmmm how do I link a thread? This book was chosen by the Book Nudgers for me. If they hadn't picked it, ...

I loved Fugitive Pieces and am nudging it too.

Can I give about a third of a nudge to The Name of the Rose and maybe two-thirds to Fugitive Pieces, a book I got rid of then realised how much I had loved it?

The Fugitive Pieces movie didn't last long....but I managed to see it and loved it. It was very artistically filmed, beautiful images....not enough action for the teenaged crowd, I guess. Watch for it on video would be my suggestion. You know, Nickelini, I am a big -- really big -- fan of ...

I'm reading Canadian! Fugitive Pieces, by Anne Michaels. About a third of the way in, so far it's great. Didn't hear much about the movie after its debut, so I guess it tanked? Reading so far, I can't imagine a movie made from this book. This is apparently Anne Michaels first novel (??). Rathe ...

Still working on The Waves, by Virginia Woolf, and also dipping in and out of Fugitive Pieces, by Anne Michaels. Neither are plot driven, and both are written in a poetical, lyrical style that lends itself to dipping in and out of. Which suits my very distracted life right now. :-)

#32 I own Fugitive Pieces and will have to read it soon because I saw a movie trailer for it this weekend. I prefer usually to read a book before seeing the film.

What a thoughtful and interesting post, urania1, thank you. And thanks for the recommendations. I have not read Fugitive Pieces but it's hard not to be familiar with it.
