Nicola Griffith has a very descriptive way of writing. This story, set on the planet JEEP, tells of a virus that kills the men and almost all the women, leaving a female socieity. Anthropologist Marghe Taishan wants to discover the society evolved and discovers that she too is changing. I enjoyed seeing a female culture that wasn't glorified or had all the problems solved. There were the good individuals, the bad individuals and all the mix inbetween and everyone, the natives and the company employes and forces are on parallel journeys of self-exploration. Griffith makes a very real society; her description puts you in the middle of it, feeling it, tasting it.

Great book, stayed up all night reading it. Good memorable characters, enough conflict to keep you turning the page, involved plot.

Julia Spencer-Fleming writes a decent mystery with a strong female lead. Clare Fergusson, the new Episcopal priest,is also an ex-Army chopper pilot. She's not about to sit back and let the town's police chief Russ Van Alstyne take care of her flock. Their clash and their sparing makes a good foil for this story set in winter in the New York Adirondacks.

A continuation onto the next generation. I enjoyed the book, good story, decent plot but not as well as the original three. Still, I would like to continue the books because I hate leaving that world that Carey created.

The Mirror had a unique plot in that it exchanged a woman and her grandmother, both on the eve of their marriage, both of them wanting to escape their environment. The mirror wasn't so kind to others who looked into it and that was one of the unanswered questions of the novel.
However in following the granddaughter back to take her grandmother's place and live out her life had it's intriguing moments, living out a past life.

Rafferty Street is a marvelous glimpse of times past and Lee Lynch is the marvelous writer who can capture it.

I found this book interesting. It looked at an aspect of the radical right I had not considered. Since I grew up in a rural area, I could identify with certain aspects of it.

What is truth? How do we learn the right way? Is the newest always the best? How can we tell the story if it hasn't ended yet?

I don't know how I missed this book before, but it was a great read. Certainly talks of times past.
