I know that Lacuna by Kingsolver was brought up several posts ago. I just want to say that I read it earlier this summer and when it was over I wished that it would go on and on...I wasn't sure about it at first, about the voice that Kingsolver used and how it changed across the first few chapters. This like many important aspects of the novel this is something that you just have to come to know by sitting with the novel much as we come to know other people by giving them time to get under our skins.

...my husband bought this book to read for himself. I had no idea who she was since I didn't watch either one of her famous shows and I no longer drink wine. However, after reading this book I certainly have gained respect for her determination as a courageous woman for being willing to look within and move through all of what she did.

no i don't know her personally, lillian. i've seen her interviewed many times, and she was launching her personal label of wine. i liked what i learned of her.

...she ends the book, Lisa with her life lessons. It sounds like you know her personally, Lisa.

Just finished "On the Couch" by Lorraine Bracco This was an engaging memoir of the star from the hit series, The Sopranos...she played Dr. Jennifer Melfi, also in Goodfellas What a startlingly honest story about her life. Her career, marriages,(one of which was with Harvey Keitel) & her custody battle,struggles with depression, her determination to be a good mother, and drive to rise above it all. I so identified with this woman's story on so many levels. Easy read, hard to put down.

I've been dying to go to the South of France since first reading A Year in Provence! My last boyfriend took along my copies of it and Toujours Provence and I've missed them so!
