The Sunday Salon


Is it really Sunday already? It’s been a beautiful day here today. Today my parents, grandmother and I went out to brunch—my mom’s birthday is coming up this week. I’d really like to tell you all what my dad is getting her, but since she’s probably reading this, I’ll wait until later. Suffice it to say that it’s good!

As far as reading goes, currently I’m reading The Shadowy Horses, by Susanna Kearsley. In it, a young archeologist goes to Scotland to work on an ancient Roman archeological dig. Ghosts and the supernatural are promised in the near future. I’m only about forty pages in so far, but enjoying it immensely, as I usually do with Kearsley’s novels. It’s the perfect read for summer.

Also read this week: The Jewel Box, by Anna Davis, and The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte, by Syrie James. Both were highly enjoyable, and reviews of both will be forthcoming sometime this week or next, whenever I get around to writing them. I’ll also post a review of Sarah Dunant’s new book, Sacred Hearts, when it’s released on the 14th.

In other news, I’m planning the details of my trip to London in September—just bought tickets to see The Mousetrap! I read the play years ago, and I’m excited to see it onstage.

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...
