I found The Art of Mending, by Elizabeth Berg to be a different type of "family" story- interesting and a very quick read.

"Compromising Positions" was a very funny & entertaining book. I truly enjoyed it.
I felt the plot became a bit unbelievable though, but Isaacs' humor and writing style carried me through-enough so, that I ordered its sequel,"Long Time No See" from another paperbackswap member.

I enjoyed The Heretic's Daughter immensely. Every time I returned to read this story, I got wrapped up in the characters lives and was shocked by the strange beliefs of some people at that time. A very moving novel.

I loved it! I love all of Elizabeth Berg's books. She has a wonderful way with words. It was especially poignant for me as I will be going to my own 40th high school reunion this spring.

I LOVE Carole Radziwill's style of writing. She kept me interested throughout the entire story.

Much of what she wrote about her husband's illness was so familiar to me, having lost a young husband to cancer a year after she did. She had me laughing and crying many times-and often at the same time!

I highly recommend it.
