Children of the Jacaranda Tree
by Sahar Delijani
Children of the Jacaranda Tree (2/14/2013)
This is a multi-generational story about the inhumane and tragic treatment of people in post-revolutionary Iran. The presence of so many characters and so much suffering made it difficult to follow at times. I liked that the story started and ended with Neda with a spark of hope...
The Aviator's Wife
by Melanie Benjamin
a wife's perspective (1/16/2013)
Very enjoyable and interesting perspective on Charles Lindbergh's life as told through the eyes of his wife. Good character development with the right amount of fact and fiction. I found myself routing for Anne and disliking Charles more than I expected.
The Queen's Lover: A Novel
by Francine du Plessix Gray
Interesting (6/9/2012)
This was an interesting look at the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. In places it was difficult to follow and this was not helped by its "diary" format. Overall, a detailed historical account and a good read for someone with an avid interest in this area.
