Not a page turner. Not a mystery, at least, not a typical Mankell mystery. Italian Shoes is rather like an exercise in learning how to read slowly and sumptuously. Sixty-six year old Frederick Welin for the last twelve years has lived reclusively...

After finishing Barbara Kingsolver's "Pridogal Summer" I read many of the fine reviews of it here at Goodreads. I agree with the general assessment. Most of the reviewers are big Kingsolver fans, as I am. Most agree it is not her best work as far as reading entertainment goes. There is more about moths and goats than I need to know. The three stories that make up the novel are fine in themselves and their connection is well crafted. The writing is poetic, thoughtful, intelligent, and insightful, which is my main draw to Kingsolver. Statements like these are what I treasure in her writing: "A bird never doubts its place at the center of the universe." "Every quiet step is thunder to beetle life underfoot." I enjoyed this book very much. It was a bit tedious at times (moths, goats, chestnuts, coyotes,weeds) but I can put up with that for the gems of language that I find along the way.
Are any of you self published authors? Author Patsy Porco has a great site for listing your books.Easy and free. See http://www.spbroundup.com
Thanks for friending me here, Mike! Kris
