| | 1. |  | Fifth Business (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
This author was trustworthy from page one. The character he created, as small as he is, has a big voice and a story worthy of telling. I was so pleasantly surprised by this book, and so mad at myself for taking so long to read it. While the story is dated, specific to a time and a place, the themes... more info

| | 2. |  | Evensong (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Evensong is a very quiet, almost passive book with a strong dose of dignity thrown in. The story revolves around a married Episcopalian clergy couple and the inner workings of their Parish and by extension their New England town. The pace is very slow and it's tone steady and sure and the book... more info

from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
Ms Godwin did an excellent job with this book and her characters.
As a Christian I enjoyed reading the theology, it was thought provoking and meaningful.
There were parts of this book that were fairly predictable, where as other parts were surprising.
If you enjoy a well written... more info

from Ballantine Books
Price: $11.96
Customer Review:
What a lot of interesting secondary characters! Unfortunately, the main character is pretty much annoying. An abusive stepfather gains our sympahy for the plucky heroine at first, but she's so clueless and chirpy--wow, look at me, folks, I'm having an affair! --we lose the sympathy fast and just... more info

| | 6. |  | Mother and Two Daughters
from Ballantine Books
Price: $27.00
Customer Review:
A Southern writer, Godwin captures the family life of the titular characters after the father dies. The women are all very different, but this touching book shows how family is important and how being independent isn't a bad thing. After the father's death, each character examines her life and... more info

| | 7. |  | The Making of a Writer: Journals, 1961-1963
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $16.95
Customer Review:
Gail Godwin's latest book is as much about the struggle of a female in her mid-twenties to find her life's work, as it is about writing. As her story unfolds over a two-year period, the reader can sense the author's growth, both as a person and as a writer. I recommend this book for anyone who wants... more info

| | 8. | [no image] | The finishing school
Customer Review:
I am amazed that Gail Godwin is not a household name because her novels are excellent. In my opinion she is the best American novelist writing today and rivals British Kazuo Ishiguro for the best overall. Godwin probably wouldn't like this comparison but she is sort of like a modern day Jane... more info
