Something's Cooking.....

.....in THE SUMMER KITCHEN by Karen Weinreb! Nothing like a wonderful first novel and I'm happy to know that Karen is working on book #2! We meet Nora Banks presumably at the top of her game -marriage,great children -the ideal Bedford Hills life. Things often are not as they seem and we learn that Nora's life as she knows it is about to come to a screeching halt! It's interesting to see how friends in this insular community react and how things are stirred up when there is change! Enjoy!!

Lamenting the end of a great read.....

Sally Koslow's The Late, Lamented Molly Marx sets itself apart from recent women's fiction. For starters the protagonist, Molly Marx, is deceased at the books' beginning. It totally works, yet I can't help but wish things hadn't worked out in this way for Molly- more importantly for her daughter. Luckily,that part of the novel isn't a big focus although as a mother I found myself thinking "that poor little girl!" Who doesn't wonder what might await us on "the other side." In Koslow's version there awaits "the Duration" and we are right there with Molly as she observes the goings on of the people she left behind. Accident?Murder? Something else? We are kept guessing until the very end!! Miss you,Molly!!
