At Mrs Lippincote's (Virago Modern Classics)
Elizabeth Taylor

Virago UK, 2006

The Other Elizabeth Taylor
I was reading the Atlantic Monthly which featured an article about Elizabeth Taylor; an author I had never heard of. I have since read Mrs. Lippincote and enjoyed it so much. The writing is intelligent, warm, and funny. It is deliciously English, and considering it was ...

Trespass (Vintage Contemporaries)
Valerie Martin

Vintage, 2008

Brilliant in the early going, disappointing at the end
The principle plot points of this book set the stage for all forms of intrusion and encroachment. A new character in a family's life threatens to change everything, a strange man hunting on private property lays a foundation of menace, and the characters collectively ...
  
  











  



  
Salvation: Scenes from the Life of St. Francis
Valerie Martin

Vintage, 2002

Holy or Insane?
I just finished Salvation: Scenes from the Life of St. Francis and found it to be a provacative read. Martin is a captivating writer, who handles a potentially biased topic with journalistic objectivity. But still, she manages to relay the deep emotion that ...

The Low-Carb Gourmet: Recipes for the New Lifestyle
Brigit Legere Binns

Ten Speed Press, 2004

My New Favorite
This is one of the best cookbooks I've bought in a long time, and I buy a lot of cookbooks. I made the Haricots Frites with Tarragon Sauce for a small cocktail party I had recently, and everyone raved. It was great to be able to tell my guests that they shouldn't ...

Love: Short Stories
Valerie Martin

Lost Horse Press, 1999

Exquisite and rather disturbing
Valerie Martin's world is a strange one. I have read Italian Fever and Alexandra and I have wanted to read Love: Short Stories for a long time. In my opinion, this is Martin's best work. The stories in this book are beautiful and disturbing at the same time. Each ...

The Dictionary of Alternatives: Utopianism and Organization
Martin Parker, Valerie Fournier, ...

Zed Books, 2007

This dictionary provides ammunition for those who disagree with the early twentieth-first century orthodoxy that 'There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism'. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could ...
  
  











  



  
Italian Fever
Valerie Martin

Knopf, 1999

This was written by Valerie Martin?
Based on my previous reading, I know that Valerie Martin is capable of writing a great novel with a coherent, tight plot, rich characterization, and a very strong undercurrent of hidden meaning and symbolism. "Italian Fever", however, does not have any of these ...
