Bantam Books, 1980. Reviewer: from Canada The main protagonist, a middle-aged Electric Utility Executive, beds everyone from a feminist reporter, a recent widower, to a disabled woman. All the while his wife is suffering from cancer. Talk about misogynistic melodrama. The few snippets here and there of the fascinating world of electric power generation/consumption, politics and the environment is all lost in a hazy summer smog. The antagonists, a motley crew of demented terrorist, only lend further to the cheesy, soap-opera quality of the book's narrative.. Spine line/tilt/edge rubs/tight Lt Tan P. Mass Market Paperback.

New York: Signet, 1985. Lily Greene, beautiful star of the musical comedy theatre in the late 19th century, marries extremely wealthy Sir Robert Firth, thinking that she was marrying a man who was not only generous, but who matched her passionate nature. He'd respected her virtue before marriage, saying that he wanted to keep her until they were legally wed, but on the wedding night, and on all the nights that followed, he showed himself to be a warped man who could only perform sexually if the woman was humiliated in front of him by being stripped naked and bedecked with his famous Diamond Waterfall necklace and dozens of other pieces of jewellery. He then proceeded to rape, using the metal and stones of the settings to cut and bruise the flesh. Their marriage was regarded publicly as successful but, as with other women of this era, Lily had no option but to keep up a good front and to pretend that nothing was wrong. This story spans three generations of the Firth family from late in the 19th century and through two world wars, ending in 1947. It's a fascinating glimpse into the morals and mores of these eras, with the odd illegitimate child, brutal husbands, less than perfect wives and travels from England to Rumania, France and Italy. The horrors of war and its aftermaths are well covered and make for graphic if not pleasant reading. - An Amazon Reviewer. Spinelines/stamp/tanning pg/tight. Mass Market Paperback.

When one of her few friends, an Inuit boy, dies under mysterious circumstances, she refuses to believe it was an accident. She decides to investigate and discovers that even the police don't want her involved. But Smilla persists, and as snow-covered Copenhagen settles down for a quiet Christmas, Smilla's investigation leads her from a fanatically religious accountant, to a tough-talking pathologist, to the secret files of the Danish company responsible for extracting most of Greenland's mineral wealth.

Lacy Hemingway, rich and beautiful, and her maid Rachel O'Malley, survivor of a desperately impoverished Irish household, find their lives entangled after Lacy's impetuousness has caused her to be disowned. The two create a thriving shipping business andof courseare rivals only in love. The mid-1800s, both in England and abroad, are vividly sketched as background to this fast-moving romance.

Dell, 1968. Reviewer: Jfrom Eastern Washington, United States Huie, now deceased, writes a very exciting novel about a Klan-ridden Alabama community during the timeframe of the civil rights movement. I haven't ever been to Alabama, so I can't honestly say whether or not it was at all reflective of small-town situations in that state during the late 1960s. However, the picture it paints is not terribly dissimilar from those I've seen in non-fiction writing about the period. The language is harsh and the scenes are described with shocking vividness; this book isn't for the faint of heart and contains a lot more sorrrow than joy. Such were the times. However, it does present a wide cross-section of interesting characters, and avoids painting a picture of complete good vs. complete evil--just about all the characters display faults and redeeming qualities, rather than a cast of nothing but saintly, unselfish civil rights workers or hog-nosed adder-mean racists. It doesn't take deep reading of this book to see how racial prejudice is often manipulated as a power tool.. Spine slice/ege rub/lines/tilt/bk Cvr Tr. Mass Market Paperback.

Don Mills, ON, Canada: Harlequin Enterprises, Limited, 1991. Reviewer: An Amazon Customer : I was very impressed with Jordan's style and the strategies she employed in writing this novel. Jordan has taken the threads from the lives of her characters and skillfully spun them into a truly beautiful, sensitive and memorable piece of work. Essentially the story revolves around the lives of two women, a mother (Liz) and her daughter (Sage), their experiences of hardships and turmoil, of great sacrifice, tragedy and rejection, and of course, wonderful (and sometimes forbidden) love. What I found most impressive was that Jordan so effectively and seemingly effortlessly moved through time. She not only presents the story of Liz and Sage in the present, but interweaves the story of Liz as a brave young women into this, a story painstakingly documented in Liz'z diaries. Jordan takes, not only these two women, but a host of other characters, and creates and develops lives and personalities so real, it feels as if they are actual people and not fictitious characters from a book. I enjoyed this book tremendously. I have read it several times, and still enjoy paging through it.

I recall reading another book by Garson Canin that talked about working with Samuel Goldwyn and the stories that Goldwyn would tell Canin turn up in this book so it came across as a loosely biographical/fictional account of his life beginning with the Nickelodeons, Immigrants in New York and the common theme of the American Dream. It is a vast tale that is told from a number of different perspectives which can be a little distracting at times, and you see how a person is knocked down, keeps going, and is all too human. Plus it has every person in Hollywood who ever existed. It is like a Mike Todd all-star cast in book form. Anything that could happen does and one is left exhausted after the tale.

E Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A.: New Amer Library, 1988. A Collection of Lake Wobegon Stories - "Home," in Keillor's fictional world, is Lake Wobegon (the "Gateway to Central Minnesota"), which the radio humorist introduced in print in Lake Wobegon Days. This collection of stories set in Lake Wobegon is taken from monologues performed on A Prairie Home Companion, Keillor's radio show; each one chronicles some kind of leave-taking or homecoming: trips to Minneapolis, high school graduations, attending the Minnesota State Fair, a waitress quitting her job at the Chatterbox Cafe, a boy joining the army, Father Emil retiring from Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility, family members returning to Lake Wobegon for Christmas. In the last story, from Keillor's final show, the storyteller bids farewell to his beloved hometown. Keillor has a rare gift for celebrating and finding humor in commonplace events, and his affection for his characters and for small-town life shines through. These short narratives survive the transition from performance to print beautifully; they are spare, artfully crafted vignettes that will move readers as well as entertain them. Some tales are wildly hilarious, others gently poignantbut all are simply wonderful. - From Publishers Weekly.. ISBN: 0451821971. Gently read/stamp/clean/tight. Mass Market Paperback. Good.
