Kathleen Eagle's Summer Reading
List
THE LAST REPORT ON THE MIRACLES
AT LITTLE NO HORSE
by Louise
Erdrich
I've followed the twists and
turns in the lives of Erdrich's amazing community
of North Dakota characters from LOVE
MEDICINE through TALES
OF BURNING LOVE
(my personal favorite). Erdrich takes me home to
people I know and care about, and she does it with
some of the most precise and imaginative prose I've
ever read.
THE GOOD JOURNEY
by Micaela Gilchrist
I love a history-heavy novel with a truly timeless love story. Set
on the early 19th century American frontier and based on the lives
of a real couple, this story of a widow who takes a journey to discover
the truth about her husband --- an army commander called Indian lover
by some and butcher by others --- is a fascinating first novel.
LAST CHANCE SALOON
by Marian Keyes
While I'm not a big fan of "chick books" --- probably
too old and too happily married --- I was hooked on Keyes's slightly
kooky characters and her distinctive voice from page one. The trio
of friends in this story actually includes a male!
THE WIDOW
by Anne Stuart
Adding a taste of romantic suspense to my reading picnic basket, I'm
intrigued by the premise of this one --- a woman called to Tuscany
to settle the estate of her abusive ex-husband (famous artist ---
think Picasso) and a tabloid reporter masquerading as an insurance
consultant. Stuart used Russell Crowe as the model for the reporter.
I have to find out what kind a woman goes from Picasso to Crowe.
THE INDISCRETION
by Judith Ivory
PAINTED
BY THE SUN
by Elizabeth Grayson
I love the way Ivory uses words, and I adore the way Grayson tells
a story. Ivory sets her historical romances (my favorite is still
THE
PROPOSITION) in Europe, while Grayson uses the American West.
Both carry me away with palpable mood and accurate detail.
Finally, my to-be-read basket contains an advanced
reading copy of BRIDAL
SEASON by Connie Brockway. I'm
working on a contemporary wedding story, and I would
ordinarily steer clear of a similar theme. But Brockway's
romantic Victorian romp is the first in a trilogy
about a British wedding planning service, and I want
to get in on the ground floor. I enjoy this author
for her originality, her humor, and the way she uses
period detail.
