After a half-hearted attempt last year, I've finally re-read THE TREE OF HANDS, one of the two or three RR novels I'd put off re-reading because I remembered...
Has anyone heard of or read anything by David Rehak? He's a new author I came across on Amazon. His titles sound rather intriguing--Crippled Dreams, Love and...
RR has done an interview for Woman's Hour on BBC-Radio - she discusses THE MINOTAUR & some other stuff she's mentioned in recent interviews. Cutting and...
Cool interview, Philip. Thank you so much. I always enjoy hearing her speak and read from her work. best Naomi ... discusses THE MINOTAUR & some other stuff...
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me, I have just read this again and am confused by the ending S P O L I E R Z O N E Does Mirabel know that her son will drink...
In answer to Alison's question (don't read on if you haven't read Thornapple): S P O L I E R Z O N E No, Mirabel knows that what her son drank _isn't_ poison...

... was mentioned several times here a few months back. I'll often read a novel by an author favorably compared to RR, but I had no idea that RR herself had...
Hi Philip. I was the one who recommended Ghost Writer, and I had the opportunity to have a discussion with the author, John Harwood. In that discussion, he...
Half-Broken Things is absolutely superb. I imagine its the kind of book Rendel might have written if she'd started the Vine thread in the mid-70's rather than...
I liked it too Rachel. And I am in the middle of that other book you recommended, The Earthquake Bird. (I think that was you who recommended it, right?) So...
Yup. Like that one a lot, too. (Was never sure about the shifts in first/third person, but it certainly didn't bother me.) ... Earthquake ... very good. ... of...
The shifts bothered me a bit, but it was mostly the shifts to fine print. I suppose the publisher wanted to set the first off from the third person by...
... Rachel, did you mean in Earthquake Bird, when Lucy kept referring to herself in the third person? If that's what you meant, it was jarring to me at first, ...
Yeah, that's what I meant...the shifts in Half-Broken Things didn't bother me at all (seemed perfectly natural, really). But the small print in HBT definitely...
I found the book eerie and engrossing, but like a number of people, I didn't much care for the ending. Despite his protestations, I think he'd painted himself...
I just finished the Ghost writer too, and I agree with you Philip. I loved the first nine tenths of the book--the way it embraced the gothic so openly and...
... Mmm. If you feel that there were too many loose ends to Ghost Writer, feel free to write me directly. When I first read the book, I was very unhappy with...
Thanks Lynn. I had a read of the readerville discussion last night. It was really interesting: it's terrific to be able to "speak" with the author like that,...
Hi all! This is Evie (aka Nell - for some reason I had to choose a new email address and name!). Just to let all those in the UK know - Thornapple is on ITV3...
