Over past months there have been periodic queries as to whether or not there is a "real life" St Benet's in England. Yesterday Joan and I were in England's...

While I wait for the "Heartbreaker" novel I've been fortunate to discover another author I enjoy. Just finished reading 2 novels from Francine Rivers' Mark of...
I finished reading "The Heartbreaker" on the weekend. I am VERY disappointed. In fact, I can't believe that the woman who gave us "Wheel of Fortune,"...
Whoa scathing report...guess I'll stick to Dan Brown for awhile he is HOT with Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code...wait for the Heartbreaker tohit our...
Harsh. Really harsh. I loved the book as I have loved all of her books. Her views of homosexuality clearly are not that it is something to be cured and can be...
How did you find Angels and Demons...I have yet to hear a single person slight this book...you are the first...could u be more specific about your comment no...
... * Spoiler space, just in case * * * * * * * * * * * Having disliked Da Vinci, I had no interest in the other books. I have read a good bit about...
Hmmmm perhaps your critique is beyond my ken for I still do not understand your criticism ?? Dan Brown is no slouch having come from very academic, scientific...
... I really don't think that I can be more specific without spoiling the novel for you, so you'll just have to read it and see what you think. And as in all...
I'll second M.E.Tonkin's remarks - while 'DaVinci Code' was a tight thriller, Brown's presentation of "history" was flawed to say the least. He completely...
... I agree. I'm not in "denial" either. The book is embarrassing and "hacky," despite the fact that Howatch is trying to be "cutting edge" and contemporary....
Like Martha and Anne, I have a few words about the Da Vinci Code -- now that we're on the subject! You think The Heartbreaker was slap-dash, with cardboard...
A novel from 50 years ago that sounds somewhat Howatch-like. Martha Today's Review From Salon.com The Towers of Trebizond by Rose Macaulay <<> Read today's...
I'm almost finished with Ultimate Prizes for at least the 4th time. I usually reach for one of the Starbridge series several times a year. I especially like...
... Penmarric is wonderful. I wish Howatch would go back to that kind of writing. But huge historical sagas aren't popular right now. Howatch is obviously...
I love them, too. Do you think they are not so popular right now because of their length? I love them partly because of their length, but I realize long books...
You talk with me about them. actually I absolute adore them and am in the process of writing one myself. who would have thought. You may mail me privately if...
Thanks, Vandeleur --hope I spelled that lovely name correctly. And you are writing one, too! How very exciting. I'm envious of such talent and skill. I...
As I am an intuitive too, I first was attracted by Ms Howatch's "Glamorous Powers." It was teh first thing I had ever read that made any real modern day sense...

I have been intending to re-read the Starbridge books and will start Glttering Images soon, possibly May. I would love to discuss it through this group. I...
I'd like to jump into any discussion of this book, too. All I need is a slight nudge to pick up that wonderful book again. I've read it more times than any of...
Yes I'd love to reread Glittering Images and discuss it. I've just read Wheel of Fortune for the umpteenth time and it never disappoints. I realise that I do...
I have to defend Neville/Stephen. Is he so awful? I haven't read of anyone else liking him, and I really do. I have said I identify with him. My background...
