There is an article about Geraldine Brooks, her work, and this new book in this months copy of the magazine BOOKMARKS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-11613209515505271042008-02-21T15:06:00.000-08:002008-02-21T15:06:00.000-08:00I did a big research project on Bosnia, so this on...I did a big research project on Bosnia, so this one sounded interesting just for that. After your review, it sounds like a good book in its own right as well.

But since I have read your review, I might just go ahead and buy it. I didn't expect it to be an exciting book after reading March, so I'm anxious for the experience!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408471966661831444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-74705653169568629182008-02-20T04:17:00.000-08:002008-02-20T04:17:00.000-08:00I always felt like I was "the one" who discovered ...I always felt like I was "the one" who discovered Geraldine Brooks when I read Year of Wonders. I remember that I was managing a bookstore and found myself almost pushing the book onto people because it was so new and different. I am thrilled to read your great review about her new book. Again she has left the ordinary behind and is crafting her own excitement. It sounds like the perfect way to spend my new Valentine's Day Gift Certificate!!Inside A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962025550367558251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-82687932672705150822008-02-19T19:01:00.000-08:002008-02-19T19:01:00.000-08:00I bought this one a couple of weeks ago but I've b...I bought this one a couple of weeks ago but I've been holding off starting it until I have enough time to read it in long stretches.

The only reason I got this book from the library is because my MIL reqested it, then passed it on to me. I have to run down and return it today so she doesn't get a late fee on her account!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-51969260440969565112008-02-19T13:24:00.000-08:002008-02-19T13:24:00.000-08:00I am next on the list at the library.
