The Book of Anonymities by Roberta Kalechofsky
I can't enter this book as "read" at goodreads, much less review it, because it has no ISBN.
Roberta's other books are all listed at goodreads, but this one was completed when Roberta was 85, in a nursing home, and not in a position to go through the normal publishing steps.
This amazing novel takes place in contemporary NYC, following the lives of Jewish extended family, The spot light shines on a young woman who is a PhD candidate in literature. Her research into 12th century France opens a new world for the reader. We learn about the poet Chretien de Troyes who wrote about Sir Lancelot and other Arthurian knights and his patroness, Marie of France, Countess of Champagne.
I know Roberta well and read and gave feedback on several drafts of this novel. I don't want this fine book to simply disappear, to never be read.
Therefore, I have posted the full text at my web site, where you can read it for free
http://www.seltzerbooks.com/micah/ano...
And I will make it available soon as an ebook at
Nook, Kobo, etc.
Please read and enjoy.
