The Last Samurai; a novel (f) Read Sep-02 co2000 530pp
Fantastic! One of the best books in a long time. Her first novel. Development of the intelligence of a genius child; raised by his single mom; superb writing. Very well done. Recommended to me by Jim Tennermann; Fran has read it too. A month after the recommendation, I walked into the Rangeley bookstore and there it was, an attractive cover. Worth the read.”
“It was hard for me to get into it at first. I really didn't like the mother, but eventually enjoyed it because of Ludo.”
