I've gotten in a bit over my head this week -- I'm in the middle of Sue Miller's The Senator's Wife, Barry Smith's Only Milo, Suzanne Supplee's Artichoke's Heart and Jill Pitkeathley's Cassandra And Jane! One book is for review, and the others I keep grabbing whenever the mood strikes me. I ... ... on non-fiction, but I'm getting into contemporary memoirs lately.
After I finish up that one, it's back to Sue Miller's The Senator's Wife -- I'm about 50 pages in and intrigued, but not totally captivated just yet. ... the same, but I think I'll enjoy it again.
>124 - Diana - I can't believe it!! That incident struck me as very odd in The Senator's Wife. I'm surprised that it showed up in another book as well. Some scenes deserve to be revisited - that wasn't one of them! > 95. Just read your review on The Senator's Wife and your reaction to an incident at the end of the book - i think it is the same incident that made me think about the book yesterday - because the same thing happens at the beginning of Off Season a fairly recent book by Anne Rivers Siddons ... 61.

... to obtain it through my library, but with your strong statements, I'm tempted to buy it!
And, I agree with you regarding The Senator's Wife. I didn't even give it the 50 page rule...
Read The Senator's Wife
All of it
No idea why
hated it
didn't like anything about it.
especially the characters...only one had any redeeming qualities at all..
Blech-ety blech blech ... excited to get
these , you would never know that I have about a zillion tbrs on my shelves..
Still trying to get into The Senator's Wife...and I think the anticipation of
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane is hindering my efforts... or maybe it is
The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bu ... After a busy non fiction weekend, I picked up The Senator's Wife by Sue Miller .

How are you?? I know you have been in sort of a funk. Is work going any better for you?
I'm actually getting into The Senator's Wife now.... it's rather good. Started out a little slow but that may have been because I was sooooo sick in the beginning of this long, drawn out "plague" ... I'm still reading two books as well.......The Glass Castle and The Senator's Wife. Now that I am just starting to feel a bit better, I am able to focus better on what I am reading. The Senator's Wife started out boring but it is getting better, in fact, it's good. The Glass Castle has me ... I started The Senator's Wife and found it boring, so put it down and picked up The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. For some reason I'm into memoirs right now. I'm sick as a dog with this bug that's been going around, so I need something that doesn't require much effort.....my brain feels ... ... it will be over with by the first of next week. Now I'll have time to work on taxes. oh boy.
I'm going to give The Senator's Wife a try...I need something just right ~ not too heavy, not too light...something I don't have to "work" at while I am ailing. I hope it's good.

House of holy foolsAnn Biancoli Thanks for recommending the Senator's Wife I'm heading to the library after work to see if they have a copy. Cornwell's early books were good, but somewhere along the way I lost interest and haven't read any of hers in a long time.
I really liked the Senator's Wife and The Front is Patricia Cornwell's newest book and I have to say it isn't one of her best Hi
