The Patron Saint of Liars: A Novel (P.S.)
Ann Patchett

Harper Perennial, 2007

Fast Read
Good book...bought it for book group...have to say I probably wouldn't have looked at it otherwise as I usually read suspense novels. This was good, but predictable. Reminded me a little of Peyton Place for some odd reason.
  
  











  



  
The Magician's Assistant
Ann Patchett

Harvest Books, 1998

Great Rabbit
There are such a lot of excellent reviews of this excellent book here that I feel intimidated and will concentrate on the minor characters. There are sharp observations about neuroradiologists and rabbits. It's unusual to see much of the psychology of the domestic ...

Regarding Emma: Photographs of American Women and Girls
Melissa Ann Pinney, Ann Patchett

Center for American Places, 2003
