by Gail Tsukiyama

I'm a big fan of novels relating to Japanese or Chinese characters, and this was no exception. A story of women in a silk factory who live together, work long hours together, grow up together, and watch friends pass away. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45211298 to: Women of the Silk (Paperback) by Gail Tsukiyama

by Lori Lansens

I read the advance copy of "The Girls" but unless the final version was heavily edited, it was just a so-so novel. Maybe I was just expecting too much. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43882918 to: The Glass Castle: A Memoir (Paperback) by Jeannette Walls

by Jeannette Walls

A very interesting look at how Walls and her siblings were raised and how it shaped the outcome of their lives and who they are today. I was a bit dissapointed that the book wasn't longer and told more stories of her childhood... I'm sure she'd have more unimaginable things to tell. ]]>
