Intriguing and interesting, but somehow different from anything I have read before. Although there is definitely a clear plot, I feel as though I have no idea where I am being taken and how it will work out. The characters and period are ubiquitously described and even colour and scent seem to pervade through the pages. I'm nearly half way, so still all to read for!
Hi, I noticed you're following me - thanks! Your shelf is pretty inspiring, I feel my to read list is ever growing! I'm just about to start Andrew Miller's latest - Pure, have you read it?
Love your life and give birth to a new vision. A vision of deepening love and limitless light. Dance your soul alive by showing lovingkindness towards all beings. Sing your heart open as you ignite your creative spirit. Permit yourself to experience the beauty of who you are. Live your truth and life will be an extraordinary experience of joy.

Why thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I see that Joy of Cooking is one of your favorite books and I heartily approve! How was Sarah's Key? I've never read it. "Unruly tempo" is a very good way to describe New York. I think if cities had ages New York would be 18-20, going out every night, growing, trying new things and rebelling quite a bit, idealist and sort of depressed at the same time ;-) Paris would be 35-40, still hip, still enjoys partying, but goes to bed at a reasonable 1-2am, claps politely at theater, etc. Being an expat is a very rich experience, although not always easy. Where did you move from? If you'd like to know more about any of the books I've read, just ask!

Nice that you agree with my views.Every thing in this world seems to be planned to minutest details and precision , and no Devil power however big it be , can disturb it. Thanks for accepting a hand of friendship.

FIRST *thing is that any thing in the world , be it small or big acts and inter-acts with us ; SECOND is that Man has his designs and so has God and they certainly meet somewhere.
