Know I have not posted much in about two years time but this is sort of a sore subject for me. I try to not to dismiss book to movie translations. I can forgive most things that get lost in translation. I understand that that movies have to cut, change, and twist things for time. Most good movies ba...
Probably a better-written love story than anything Goodreads recommends on the occasion of the Romance Week. The description of coup de foudre is strikingly accurate; the situation when someone takes you into their life so generously and voraciously you fail to understand you do the same.Very well c...
‘Don’t you want to forget it, if it’s past?’ ‘I don’t know. I don’t know just how you mean that.’ ‘I mean, are you sorry?’ ‘No. Would I do the same thing again? Yes.’ ‘Do you mean with somebody else, or with her?’ ‘With her,’ Therese said. The corner of her mouth went up in a smile. ‘But the e...

Let's get this out of the way first: I'm only reading this book because of Cate Blanchett, and not because it's an outstanding literary work of fiction, which it is. Sorry but I'm hopelessly stuck in the 'lowly' lesbian romance genre. 8-)Anyway, who can possibly miss all the buzz about the upcoming...
This book is supposed to be a cult classic, and one thing I’ve learned about cult classics is that from the outside it’s often hard to see the appeal. So it went here: I don’t consider this a bad book, but it didn’t do much for me. Therese is on her own at age 19 in mid-20th-century New York City,...

I am writing this review perhaps a year after I read this book. I remember how spare it was, how subtle, and how 'being the first lesbian novel to end happily' wasn't quite true, was it. The character, Carol, finds love but loses much as emotional payment. Still, the smile at the end between Terese...
