It’s a rare present-day novelist of whom I can say, “I’ve read all her books,” but I think I can say that of Geraldine Brooks, PEOPLE OF THE BOOK being the most recent. Congratulations again, and thanks for participating.P. J.

I long to lose myself in centuries past, and unknown (to me) cultures. And imagine: College that is rough and challenging, where the point is to grow and learn, and not to get drunk every other night.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007865625939579859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-81147043238132535272011-03-14T06:59:40.230-07:002011-03-14T06:59:40.230-07:00I'm excited to read this book, Pamela! I was ...I'm excited to read this book, Pamela! I was first exposed to Brooks' work through People of the Book at our library book group, and have been hooked on her work ever since. I love how she brings alive people in a certain period of time. I also enjoy books that deal with some kind of diversity issues, so I can use them in my online classroom. There is such a dearth of good books on Native American historical figures that this book will certainly add to that collection. I've been in a dry spell, longing for a meaty read, ever since I finished Cutting for Stone, so this book may just satisfy my hunger.Karen Casebeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002150769292672779noreply@blogger.com
