The Sunday Salon


I said earlier this week that I would have pictures posted today from my trip… but I’m still trying to figure out my camera, so it might take some more time.

It’s been a busy reading week, however. In the past week I’ve finished:
The Conquest, by Elizabeth Chadwick
Confinement, by Katharine McMahon
The Street Philosopher, by Matthew Plampin (excellent book; read it nearly in one sitting on the plane back from London. Too bad it hasn't gained rights to be published in the States yet).
Mariana, by Monica Dickens

Currently I’m reading The King’s Mistress, by Emma Campion—she’s the one who write the Owen Archer mysteries under the name Candace Robb. This time she returns to the fourteenth century, focusing on the life of Alice Perrers, mistress to Edward III. It’s a huge book, both in terms of physical appearance and scope; and fewer than 100 pages in, I’m hooked.
In terms of reviews, this week you should see reviews posted of Michelle Moran's new book, as well as The Coral Thief by Rebecca Stott, which is coming out on Tuesday. You'll probably also see the revival of Cover Deja-Vu, in which stock images are used over and over again and I point them out.

What are you reading today?

It looks like you've been getting a lot of reading done lately!

I worked on reading some of Julie & Julia today. (I finished the other books I planned on reading earlier than I thought I would.)

First of all, I came across your blog because of Glue. I am now "following" you. And I like your blog. You read even more than I do; what a relief, my friends think I am supernatural or something.
Today I am reading Sunnyside by Glen David Gold. It is great so far!

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...
