The Sunday Salon


It’s March 1st, so of course it’s time for the ubiquitous “monthly wrap-up” Sunday Salon post. Every February, I end up reading less, for some reason. This time last year, I finished four books; this February, I finished six, six fewer than I read in January. I’ve posted reviews for four of those books; a review for Elizabeth Chadwick’s A Place Beyond Courage will be up as soon as I’ve finished writing it, and a review of Barbara Vine’s The Birthday Present has been written, which I’ve scheduled to post on its release date here in the US, March 10. At 4 stars, A Place Beyond Courage was probably one of the better books I’ve read this month.

What’s ahead for March? I’m currently reading an ARC of Vanora Bennett’s newest book, Figures in Silk, which I think is pretty so-so; and I’ve got a stack of about twenty books to choose from when I’m done with it (don't worry, the TBR list is much, much longer). I’d like to read more in March, too; my goal is ten books. I'm also hoping that March will bring me my first Great Read of 2009; most of the books I've read thus far this year only merited a 3 or 3.5 star rating.

What about you? What did you read in February?

You did better than me. I only completed three books in February. It was a very slow month for me. Especially since one took me two weeks to complete.

I guess I'm lucky, I've already read some really fantastic books this year. I can already tell that choosing favorites in December will be difficult.

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...
