Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum
Cathy Agin, April 16, 2008
An excellent novel about a woman dealing with her past, only to discover that she has been living with a misconception. It's a book about guilt and the ways we deal with it, and about coming to terms with who we really are.(0 of 1 readers found this comment helpful)
Light on Snow by Anita Shreve
Cathy Agin, August 1, 2007
I loved this book. It is about a girl coming to grips with the reality of her family and a father coming to grips with the cards reality has dealt him. The story sucks you right in and doesn't let you get away until the end. The characters are so well-drawn, you feel like inviting them to tea. Anita Shreve has mastered the art of transforming pain into a life-changing experience, one that lets you emerge triumphant every time.(4 of 9 readers found this comment helpful)
Book of Salt (UK Edition) by Monique Truong
Cathy Agin, August 1, 2007
This is a lush and sensuous book about being different. A Vietnamese cook named Binh comes to Paris in search of himself and ends up as the cook to Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas. The language is beautiful and the descriptions of food are more than mouth-watering-they are like a trail of words leading us to the main character's heart.(5 of 9 readers found this comment helpful)
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
Cathy Agin, July 28, 2007
Every once in a great while, a fictional character comes along that will stay with you and haunt you for the rest of your life. Eugenides has created just such a character in Cal. It isn't an easy read, but is a read that has the potential to change your life. This is what literature is all about!(11 of 23 readers found this comment helpful)

Anyone who loves art will love this book. It begins with a painting, and uses the painting as a vehicle to move back through history, introducing us to the lives of all of the people touched by the painting. Vreeland takes art out of the museums and into the heart.(7 of 15 readers found this comment helpful)
