| | 1. |  | The Book of Ruth (Oprah's Book Club)
from Anchor
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I found The Story of Ruth intriguing, depressingly sad, and so real. I was caught up in the inherent goodness that exixts in all people (Ruth, Aunt Sid, Rudy, Daisy, even May...) only to be caught off guard by the insanity in the inherent badness that also exists near the end of the book. The... more info

This novel is set in and around the last remaining dairy farm in a rapidly suburbanizing Wisconsin county.

| | 3. |  | When Madeline Was Young
from Anchor
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I recently finished reading When Madeline Was Young, by Jane Hamilton. I've read a few of Hamilton's books before - A Map of the World (which I was rather ambivalent about) and The Book of Ruth (which I thought was wonderful) - so I figured it was time to pick her up again.
The novel hinges on... more info

| | 4. |  | Disobedience: A Novel
from Anchor
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I don't really understand all of the praise that has been heaped onto this book. I picked it up in large part because of the amazing critical praise listed inside the book. While I had enjoyed Hamilton's previous work, I wasn't really compelled to buy this one until seeing the glowing reviews,... more info

| | 5. |  | The Short History of a Prince: A Novel
from Anchor
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
For a work of literary fiction from a much-published author, this is a disaster. Hamilton--like Sinclair Lewis at the end of his career--seems not to grasp that simply fabulating fictional life-stories is not all there is to a novel. Writers of a different calibre (but, like her, devoted to the... more info

| | 6. |  | The Family Markowitz
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Hmmm...why ddidn't this one work for me? The focus is off and the characterizations lack depth; the story shifts around too much.
But what amazing promise Goodman shows. And what joy for the reader that she worked hard and got better!

| | 7. | [no image] | The Guardian/a Novel
from Thomas Nelson Inc
Customer Review:
I have read this book three times, give away my copies and then want to read it again and have to buy it again (which I just did). I love this story. It tells of God's infinite love and forgiveness to every creature, large and small. I like Tabris because he knows that he has committed a terrible... more info
