It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.
Laura Rider's Masterpiece
4 journalers for this copy...
A very unusual plot...Laura Rider - smart, creative, mastermind of Prairie Wind Farm garden center has stopped having relations with her husband Charlie. Laura and Charlie each meet Jenna Faroli, the thoughtful host of a public radio talk show. Laura pushes Charlie - who is all too willing - to be a closer friend with Jenna, with whom they both are smitten. Laura's motivations become more clear and she becomes less likable as a result.
Smartly written.

My Comments: I truly love Jane Hamilton's writting style. I always feel like I become completely absorbed in her novels and this one was no exception. I do not want to be a spoiler to this story especially since it is a little over 200 pages. However, I will agree with Wildflower37, Laura becomes the less likable character in this unusual plot.

Thank you dvg for this wonderful surprise! I've been under the weather for several days and a trip to the mailbox in the sunshine was a big treat. Finding your package there was an even bigger treat. Now I'll just curl up, read and recover my strength.
I finished this late last night and went to sleep thinking about it. I wasn't sure how I felt, how I was supposed to feel. There were characters I liked in the beginning, (You had me at NPR.) but I didn't like any of them in the end. They were all such egotists that I couldn't feel happy or sad for anyone.
That being said, I did enjoy the book. Thanks again to dvg for sharing it with me!

I caught this surprise book from Beth, by mail. What a nice surprise! I'm a fan of Jane Hamilton's writing, so this should be interesting. Thanks much!! And the pretty book thong is such a nice bonus :)
