The Paris NovelThe Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The story was great but the descriptions of cooking and the food eaten was outstanding. Obviously Ruth Reichl knows food and this first novel shows that she can translate food into words that make the reader almost taste what she is describing.

The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr. My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a deeply moving story of love, power and betrayal set in the deep south pre-civil war. The atrocities of plantation life juxtaposed with the beauty of the love shared by two young enslaved men was stunning. Powerful writing about life in and around a place called Empty.

The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall My rating: 5 of 5 stars Based on conversations between Jane Goodall and author/ publisher Douglas Abrams this book gives sage advise on not only what we have done to our planet but also what her four hopes/actions are for the future. Ms. Goodall's hopes for our future as a species are: human intellect, nature's resilience, the power of young people, and "the indomitable human spirit." Such hope from such an important naturalist and environmental activist. View all my reviews
