Another interesting thing; it is the early 60s, yet Venetia thinks she should have some direction in life other than marriage and children. This was the...
... I hadn't heard of that particular work. However there were moves to counter sex discrimination in the workplace which led to the Equal Pay Act 1970 and...
I was only born in 1960, but I grew up in an atmosphere that did expect women to have careers. I got the impression, later on when I thought about such...
Shane, Thanks for your help. I may have said it wrong, but it wasn't a 200-word "thesis;" it was a 200-character introduction -- which is barely more than a ...
Dorothy No worries!! I am just amused at myself that I never even saw that requirement when I joined - I obviously just didn't read anything!!!! I am...
Lucia, I'm just now getting around to reading some of the later posts on this. Yes, in reading Howatch, I thought I had sensed some Jungian concepts coming ...
My lack of participation has nothing to do with lack of interest. My Summers are very demanding with clients in peak season and no child care due to school...
... Summers are very demanding with clients in peak season and no child care due to school being out. I sure hope to be able to resume reading and discussing...
Thanks Dorothy and Kathleen for the thoughtful answer. Due to some family medical issues, I probably shouldn't get involved in another busy list right now....
I have recommended Kate Charles's novels on this list before, especially her "Book of Psalms" mystery series. Charles is an American who has lived in the UK...
... Kate ... Thanks very much, Martha. I had read a few of her books and enjoyed them very much. I will look for the new series. It sounds good. Kathleen...
... A few years back she spoke to our clergy chapter, which introduced me to her work. Different style (as you would expect) from Howatch but certainly...
Coincidently, I just finished "Secret Sins" and enjoyed it very much. Not in Howatch's league, but a good read. I will be sure to read her "Book of Psalms"...
They sound interesting. I will try one out. How timely! Peace, Dianne Si Se Puede/Uati ixi ukuarhini ... Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo! Small...
I thought I might try and summarize the article by N.T. Wright on _Honest to God_ (which I referred to in post #6610); perhaps it could give us a starting...
Interesting re-cap of Wright's article--which now I must read! I also enjoyed your using Howatch's paradigmatic Starbridge characters to anchor us in your...
... ... Why was it below the belt? What I was getting at was that the article seemed to prove the point that there is a kind of horrible logical progression...
Dear Lucia, Thanks for the reply. I see your point, and think I phrased my rejooinder too flippantly. The reason I think that the parallel to Asherton is...
... Thanks for doing so! We've had 'Honest to God' sitting on our shelves for a couple of years - I found it in a thrift store, and pounced on it in delight,...
This is the book on Susan Howatch I've been waiting for --and I think many of you on the list will find it fascinating. Edited by academics Bruce Johnson and...
I was so interested in gailelisabth's informtion regardng a book on Howatch and thank her for it! Because of this group, I am rereading SCANDALOUS RISKS after...
Hi Nancy, I agree that Susan has a much wider scope than "Christian author" might lead people to believe. The church is the setting, and she deals with...
Where are you? I guess yahoo.se means Sweden?? If so, then have you tried either Amazon UK or Play.com? The latter has slightly higher prices, but will...
Hi... Ooooooooooo those books are really high retail indeed. I get the books from the library or if I really really want to keep them...Amazon.com sells used...
No probs with the Howatch books; it is the book of essays that is SO dear - over $50 from Amazon! D ... books from the library or if I really really want to...
... I've gone ahead and ordered a used copy. Maybe after I've read it I can lend it to those of you who want to borrow it... photocopying parts of it and...
The subject of the relationship/identification of psychology with the occult is surely one of the most (to my mind, anyway) important themes of the Starbridge...
