The Pillars of the Earth
NAL, 2007
Enticing novel indeed
+ Great story
When I finally came to the conclusion that I was to read the Pillars of the Earth for my summer reading, I was rather skeptical that a near thousand page book, dealing with the construction of a cathedral could keep me inspired enough to read it. I was ineffably mistaken.

Winter Rose, The
Hyperion, 2008
If you loved the Tea Rose, you'll love this book!
+ A great historical romance
+ "Buy my fine parsley-o"
I loved The Tea Rose, and this story was just as beautiful and engaging. While the prose may not be the highlight (a few too many sentence fragments--for emphasis-- in my opinion, and sometimes a bit sappy), the story is a gem. Donnelly has done her research; the historical allusions are accurate ...
