I'd love to enter! I've read plenty of Jean Plaidy books, but never read one of her Victoria Holt books. Looks like fun!

I love Victoria Holt, but I haven't read this one. I'm so glad they're rereleasing many of her works; they've been getting harder and harder to find.

Thanks for sharing!

OH my goodness! They are re-releasing Victoria Holt books?? I have such fond memories of reading all her books during the years I was in high school and in my twenties. (I am soon to be 47--so you know how long ago I am talking here!) I eventually ended up reading everything by Holt, and was so author illiterate that I didn't realize she wrote under different pen names.

On the Night of the Seventh Moon is the first one of hers I read--I can even remember sun bathing on our deck in the summer totally wrapped up in that book!! Mistress of Mellyn was another one of my favorites by here.
Please enter me in the drawing! After all these years, I can't believe that I don't own one single Holt book! This must be remedied--I sure hope I win. ;)

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges. Achingly romantic, the novel features the legacy of Mercy Hayworth—a young woman convicted during the Salem witch trials—whose words reach out from the past to forever transform the lives of two present-day women. These book lovers—Abigail Boyles, elderly, bitter and frail, and Lauren Lars Durough, wealthy, earnest and young—become unlikely friends, drawn together over the untimely death of Mercy, whose precious diary is all that remains of her too short life. And what a diary! Mercy's words not only beguile but help Abigail and Lars...

Review: The Piano Teacher, by Janice Y.K. Lee

The Piano Teacher is a complicated novel. On the surface, it’s about a love affair between two British ex-patriots in Hong Kong in 1952-3. Claire Pendleton comes to Hong Kong with her husband Martin at a time when the world is still recovering from WWII; Claire takes up work as a piano teacher for the daughter of a wealthy Chinese family, where she meets Will Truesdale, the Chens’ enigmatic chauffeur. The book jumps back in time between the 1950s and the beginning of WWII, when Will is interned in Stanley, a Hong Kong camp for enemies of Japan. On “the outside” is Tudy Liang, Will’s beautiful Eurasian lover. There’s no doubt that Lee’s writing is beautiful. But there’s something lacking in this short, terse novel that I can’t quite put my finger on. First, I think it’s the tenses she uses when taking about each story: that which is set in the 1950s is in the past tense, while the war scenes are talked about in the present tense (confusing, no?) The interpersonal relationships of the m...
