I enjoyed her diary excerpts that were in <i>Our Longest Days</i>. Maybe starting with the second book doesn't give you the feeling that you know her. Who knows? I look forward to your thoughts on the book when you get to it.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-41769111283461996642009-10-08T11:04:53.620-04:002009-10-08T11:04:53.620-04:00I'm sorry to hear this wasn't a good read ...I'm sorry to hear this wasn't a good read for you.

I've had experiences like that where I've put something down for a while, then picked it up again later and loved it. I'm not sure this one would be my cup of tea either but I appreciate your thoughts. :-)Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-62310885191272703642009-10-03T11:12:46.271-04:002009-10-03T11:12:46.271-04:00I like the cover..I like the cover..gautami tripathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192356825699543613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-67262273775711751452009-10-02T23:33:41.191-04:002009-10-02T23:33:41.191-04:00The quotes do sound interesting - this sounds like...The quotes do sound interesting - this sounds like it would be excellent as an excerpt or essay-length piece in a collection (which it sounds like it was, in Our Longest Days).
