Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 23 comments Clover Doves by Courtney Filignezi

Struggling towards the light

Emma Fiorello is sixteen and deeply in love with Eric Florentino, a bright and caring, but wayward youth. They have a very special connection which Emma felt virtually as soon as they met. According to Emma they are “soul mates”. Eric knows what she means, but is perhaps a little less ‘spiritual’ in his outlook. Life is fresh and good, but Emma also senses that perhaps she and Eric will not stay together. Suddenly Emma is attacked and raped and her life begins the swift process of falling apart. Can Emma survive this turmoil and will she and Eric struggle through it, or will the premonition of relationship break-up come true?

Clover Doves could be classified as a paranormal romance: it is a love story with references to precognition, empathic telepathy and ghosts. The novel is, however, also part spiritual philosophy and part self-development/psychology. This is not to imply that Clover Doves is overly ‘preachy’ or contains lectures on these subjects: the philosophy and psychology arise naturally from the plot and characters, and are quite skilfully woven into the novel. It is clear, though, that Filigenzi has done much reading and thinking about the subject of human potential. Beyond these specialized subjects the novel is also very much about ‘ordinary’ life struggles: family, friends, love relationships, suffering, conflict and death. Clover Doves is skilfully written and will appeal to a quite wide variety of readers, especially those willing to keep an open mind.

Sterling Gate Books (sterlinggatebooks) | 7 comments I can't claim to have read them all (or even half!) but Goodreads ‘Best Trilogies/Book Series EVER!’ list is definitely worth a look. View top 100 books. The best of J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, Suzanne Collins, Cassandra Clare, Tolkien and more…

Dean Blake (deanblake) | 21 comments Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger. One of the greatest books of short stories I have ever read.


Jess the Shelf-Declared Bibliophile (jessicalewis) Has anyone here read cloud atlas? What did you think? It's on my to-read list but I recently saw the movie it was SO confusing that now I don't know if I want to try the book!


message 1864: by Patricia (new)

Patricia Guy (trish---) | 4 comments I haven't read it but my sister has and loved it. Knowing my sister's likes, if you liked Stranger In A Strange Land and other books you read and think 'I do believe the author was on drugs when he wrote that'(example: Fear and Loathing); you will probably like it.

Michael (lovechild) | 280 comments Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity It is really a gripping story. It has helped me center and be thankful for winning at the cosmic lottery of have been born in a first world nation.

I like to think I have worked hard and deserve what I have, but sometime I need to be reminded to do more to help.

Joseph (mccannx) I recently finished re-reading The Bellwether (Connie Willis). Very fun book, and very unique. Although Connie Willis is well-known as a sci-fi author, this book seems to elude classification. Here is my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Enjoy!
