There are too many books on my nightstand. It's difficult to read and write--characters and voices get confused. It fascinates me that while reading, my ear picks up the writer's tone, cadence, and writing style.
'Alice James, a Biography' (Strouse), 'Stories of Jane Gardham' (Gardham), 'The Warmth Of Other Suns' (Wilkerson), 'Life After Life' (Atkinson), 'News From Heaven' (Haigh)-because my publisher compared me to her. 'Loving Andrew' (Wylie)-because she's a friend, a fine writer, and it's her story. 'Contents May Have Shifted' (Houston)-because I heard her read at the Red Hen luncheon and liked what I heard. And my book-because I still can't believe it's been published.
The books I look forward to adding are 'The Cherry Harvest' (Sanna) and Kate Southwood's next book.

Susan Storer Clark, Washington Independent Review of Books asks: Gabriel ...married an artist he met in Greece, someone he has not allowed to practice her art, and she is now a joyless woman and a heavy drinker. “It seemed to Gabriel that she was ruining his life.” Have you known someone who was so completely self-centered who might have expressed such a thought out loud?
