          <body><![CDATA[Similar to Dunant's <em>The Birth of Venus,</em> but Gregory has her own unique style of telling a tale. Amazing how much historical research the author did to write this novel well, and you can actually feel the sense if frustration and entrapment that this woman feels throughout this novel.]]></body>

The fun one gets a terminal illness, the safe one narrates. And that's where the &quot;run-of-the-mill&quot; feel ends. The does a beautiful job ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/329684">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[This is one of my all time favorite books because it speaks to a few of the most integral aspects of my own personality - spirituality and humor. It is very well-written and entertaining, and I had several laugh-out-loud moments. I also cried once during the course of this novel, and that is extreme...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/329440">more...</a>]]></body>
