About this author
Brains are funny things. Simmering pots, nothing like the filing cabinets described by early psychologists. There's nothing tidy about how our brains work, yet they are miraculously efficient able to recall, re-sort, re-imagine, reinvent; life, knowledge, intuition, and, most excitingly, creativity.
Writers love their brains.
A writer loves her brain because she doesn't understand it, is constant... read more »

| The low rating isn't because of the writing (which is excellent) or even the story line (which is well told and wistful). The low rating is due to the fact that author tries to excuse the accusations of abuse on children by the hands of Catholic prie...more | |

| While the writing was lovely, I couldn't find a compelling reason to finish this novel. I didn't connect with it, therefore I cannot write a review of the novel. I do enjoy Patchett's work and look forward to other books from her. | |

Niffenegger is an original storyteller. She's not interested in repeating herself, even given the massive success of her first novel. Her Fearful Symmetry is a ghost story brought to ground level and stripped of it's terror. Ghosts are all around us....more |

The message was positive, and the story of the Paris children was heartbreaking. Drawing the connection between the killing of millions of innocent people in WWII, and abortion is, of course, sobering. It's a book worth reading for those elements alo...more |

Five years in the writing, and when I cracked this book I could feel the weight of history in the first pages. Thick like reading Hebrew etched in a temple stone. The writing is largely "telling", but this approach suits the story. The Dovekeepers are...more |
