2017: #22 – Islands (Anne Rivers Siddons)

July 25, 2018 1 Comment

This was decent, but not nearly as good as some other Anne Rivers Siddons books I’ve read. As usual, the location plays a large part in the atmosphere of the book. Here we get 3 different faces of South Carolina — old money Charleston, the beach, and the low country — and each does its part. Unfortunately, I wish she’d spent as much time on

2005: #1 – The Poisonwood Bible (Barbara Kingsolver)

February 3, 2005January 14, 2021

I just finished The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver. This was a beautiful book.

I think that what really makes this book work is the way it is written. You witness this story through the viewpoint of each of the daughters — even little Ruth May. It’s a very compelling read, and I heartily recommend it.

This is the epic tale of a world trying to stop the rise of the Wyrms (think: fire-breathing dragons) after 1000 years of banishment below the seas. It is told through the eyes of several characters — a lord doomed by a childhood friendship, a court outsider with a secret, a dragon-rider with a rebellious streak, a banished alchemist determined to return home — and
