I recently read the novel by Jhumpa Lahiri after watching the film. The film is absolutely wonderful. I mean the film is far better than the book. The visual appeal of the film is far more than the appeal of the book. Must read this book to witness someone's sensitivity in writing.

I paid a pretty penny for this book, but it was sweet and kept my attention throughout. Marian seems like a really genuine person. I love reading about people's personal experiences with Elvis.

This has to be one of my favorite books that I have ever read. Have passed it on to others for their enjoyment.

Public library copy, hardcover 1969 edition. I previously read this paperback edition in the 1970s. I figure 40 years is soon enough to re-read a book :-) I loved them then, and I love them now. This book is so good it deserves a review. It would be a shame if it went unread by readers who think this book is out-dated and not up to current writing standards. It was written 47 years ago, but because it is so well written, the content is timeless. New Moon Rising is the second in the St. Simons Trilogy, set on the Gould plantations on St. Simons Island, Georgia in the decades leading up to and during the Civil War. It is a story of character, mainly that of Horace Bunch Gould, and of the issue of slavery which nearly divided our beloved country. It is also a story of faith, but that is not in the forefront. All but a few of the characters in this book are factual, using their real names. The author was a transplanted northerner (she says 'ex-northerner') who lived on the island herself for many years. The story is a marvelous weaving of plot, character, and history bathed in the rich description of Miss Price's (and Horace Gould's) beloved island. You could easily say the book was about Horace Gould, or you could equally say it is about St. Simons, or about slavery and the Civil War, or about faith, or relationships or personal growth or human loss or about learning to love both people and place. There is depth if you seek it, there is beauty, there is tragedy, there is real life. If you are looking for a light romance, this is not it. There is romance in the book, but it is rather out of the ordinary. I like it. This is my kind of book. The reason I gave it four stars is that it took me at least fifty pages to get into it. The beginning of the book, no spoilers, is not indicative of the book as a whole. Once I got into it, it was hard to put down. I was there. As to the issue of slavery, and race. There are some books written before or during the Civil Rights Movement in this country which should be re-written or tossed. This book handles it in a timeless manner. This is not another Gone With the Wind. I don't want to give it away, but I can't imagine anyone of any race being offended by this book. It is timeless and wonderful. Read it and see. Look forward to re-reading the third book in the trilogy, The Beloved Invader.

I have read all three books a couple of times and, as with the Hobbit, enjoyed them at every age. I feel like in places the books do drag a bit, otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Oh wow. That was my last thought. So never mind that it started really slow that I put off continuing to read it several times already before I committed to do so yesterday. And.... oh, wow. Djinn, you just wait until I get my hands on you.

Part memoir? Part haunted drug hallucination induced fiction- I am still sure what to make of it.

This was a quick easy read that left me wanting more from the story and characters. I felt the book could have been more, but for a short ebook it was ok.

didn't realize til this particular book that i was in the middle of another series. thankfully, i HAD read the first one of it, unknowingly, so was not lost on who/what some of the characters were. interesting faith struggle. easy to understand. sad, tho, how many of us react that way, and how many of us hold on to "grudges", and for SSOOO long! yes, myself included %(
