| | 1. |  | My Antonia (Everyman's Library)
from Orion Publishing Group, Ltd.
Customer Review:
My parents had an old copy of this book lying around and I picked it up and starting reading it over winter break one year. It drew me in. I don't know why, since it wasn't particularly warm or filled with likeable characters or funny or scary or any of the things that normally draw me in. It was... more info

| | 2. |  | Consequences
from Tantor Media
Price: $51.09
Customer Review:
Very disappointing, having been a Lively fan in past. The characters and their circumstances are romanticized to the point of caricature. Found myself flipping through the pages to find some scene, any scene, that felt true. Came away empty handed. Cheap trick.

Winner of the 1987 Booker Prize, Penelope Lively's Moon Tiger is a contemporary pitch-perfect crafted novel that reverberates around the dying Claudia Hampton, a best selling author of popular history.

| | 4. |  | The Photograph
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I enjoyed Lively's recent CONSEQUENCES so much that I turned to this slightly earlier novel. It is equally absorbing, but I think the greater achievement. While dealing with similar concerns -- families, the power of memory -- it is more concentrated, darker in tone but richer in its observation of... more info

| | 6. |  | Heat Wave: Novel, A
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
"Heat Wave" is another superb book by Penelope Lively. The writing is powerful right from the start. The reader experiences the pain of having an egoistic spouse. What is new, at least in my reading, is the pain of a parent seeing her daughter go through the same experience, and being unable to do... more info

| | 7. |  | Passing On
from Grove Press
Price: $12.80
Customer Review:
This book was one of the most interesting I've ever read. Penelope Lively created two of the most interesting, yet pathetic characters in modern fiction. Both siblings Helen and Edward were destined to lives of social isolation from birth because of their controlling mother Dorothy. The story is... more info
