Nell and Lady

Nell and Lady: A Novel by Ashley Farley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Ashley Farley has written an excellent book again about the life of a family. The family's composition is unusual, consisting of different races, and how they handle both grief and happiness. Time is a spread of thirty some odd years, through teen angst, marriage, divorce, and cancer. There are three generations involved in the plot and the story is told through each ones eyes in different chapters. The plot is unique in some ways and in others, what one might expect. Characters are believable, as are the situations they become involved in. If you want ordinary this isn't for you, but none of Ms. Farley's stories are ordinary.

Husbands And Other Sharp Objects

Husbands and Other Sharp Objects by Marilyn Simon Rothstein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Pining For Another

Funny and endearing. Characters are charming. Plot is unique and well written. One can't put the book down. Hopefully the story will continue, at least the escapes of Jon and Marcy.

Lift And Separate

Lift and Separate by Marilyn Simon Rothstein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Funny and Engaging

Excellent story. One laughs almost the whole time while reading, which sounds weird when the book is about serious issues. One will have to read to find out what the issues are. There is one minor drawback to the story which is that one wishes the novel would be finished with all the characters reaching a conclusion instead of the reader having to surmise what the future holds for each of the main characters. Thankfully there is a continuation of the story in Husbands and Other Sharp Objects.
