(I got one from MotherTalk, too, but just for the book discussion there - please join in!).<BR/><BR/>It seems like you would really enjoy Geraldine Brooks' <A HREF="http://imponderabilia.blogspot.com/2007/06/nine-parts-of-desire-book-review.html" REL="nofollow">Nine Parts of Desire</A> (link to my blog review of it); I liked Brooks' book so much because it provided a lot of the history and context that you said you wished for in your review.Sandy D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08650640470141210550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206085352184804183.post-22940103668359088052008-01-08T10:56:00.000+01:002008-01-08T10:56:00.000+01:00*Rebecca, I agree with your decision :)<BR/><BR/>*Anno, let me know what you think!<BR/><BR/>*Professor J, thanks for reading :)<BR/><BR/>*Jen, MotherTalk is great--lots of chatter about new, interesting books in many genres. I hope you'll check it out!<BR/><BR/>*Moonrat, so true. There are certain things that link us all as humans, and Rachlin does a great job of expressing that.<BR/><BR/>*Susan, so glad to see you here :)<BR/><BR/>*Stacy, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)sognatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13578703393987896737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206085352184804183.post-29360614343251441862008-01-08T02:24:00.000+01:002008-01-08T02:24:00.000+01:00that sounds very interesting.
