She loved it, and passed it on to colleagues at the school she teaches at; and over Xmas I put it aside for return to me, I will read it sometime in the next month or 2 for sure. It sounds great.Jenny Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295436498255927522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959297.post-11909300219834788842007-01-12T11:27:00.000-05:002007-01-12T11:27:00.000-05:00Hey There--I got Restless at the library and begin...Hey There--I got Restless at the library and begin it tonight. BUT last night I read an extraordinary book--Triangle by Katherine Weber. What she has done: history of a survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory who lived to be 106 (and if one is Jewish it is especially wonderful because there is Yiddish, and odd yiddishe syntax); hilarious parody of academic language uh discourse; a mystery; a lot about music (most of it beyond me but still interesting despite my ignorance); and finally, a lovely love story. A tad hard to get into but the payoff is stupendous. Bye. rubyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
