I loved this book. I remember picking it up from a table of new authors thnking it could be a bit hit or miss. Lesbian chick lit being decidedly 'miss' most of the time. However what a great rollercoster of a book. As Sarah Waters says 'it is the book she always wanted to read'. It has everything in it and i just enjoy more each time I read it. The younger gay woman is very lucky to have this - The Well of Loneliness - was exactly that - thank god for this book! PS. Whitstable has never been more popular.

This is a good, fast-paced, well-written story with well-drawn sympathetic characters. It's unfortunately supposed to be set within Isaac Asimov's robot universe, but does not work within that milieu at all for me. With a few minor minor brushes and differently-named characters, it could be the best X-Men story ever.

I normally have a hard time with parenting books because I already feel like I am running a million miles a minute and don't need more advice on things that I am not doing right. Lately though I have felt like a little advice might help. This book had lots of great ideas and I didn't feel overwhelmed. Maybe I will enter the parenting book phase. I really liked the cleaning ideas.

This was such an interesting story and it makes it even more interesting that it is based on truth. The author has researched her family from the slave days through modern times. She novelized the story so it is a fascinating read. There are photos of the people she is writing about about as well as documents and family trees. It added a lot to the story.

*Disclosure: I received this as an Advance Uncorrected Proof via Goodreads Firstreads Giveaway* I have to admit I had my reservations about this book when I started, it seemed to drag on and on about dates of ancestral homes and titles. I know that those are important for context later but they were given so woodenly it felt like a chore to wade through and assimilate that information. The 8 or 9 pages given to the discourse of who was the elder daughter, Mary or Anne was in my opinion too much. Understandably it is important to identify for the sake of a biography who is an elder sibling but I think the information could have been condensed without losing much credibility. I would have loved more information on Mary’s actual time in the French courts but regrettably there was not enough factual information for Weir to build on there so we get snippets of information of her time in France. Weir is very good at giving her readers the truth, she seems to be very thorough in providing her readers with the rumor and squashing it or enlivening it with facts. I have to say I was not really drawn into the book until about page 100 or so where it started giving more information that was not all conjecture. Sadly only two letters survive written by Mary Boleyn and all other information is based on gossip or court records. It must be overwhelming to an author to try to build a book around so little information but Weir did well anyway. Arguably the best part of the book, for me, was the last 150 pages or so and the Appendix I that lists her families successes after Mary’s death. We're even told of the more famous of Mary's decendants that have some very recongnizable names. All in all Alison Weir did a wonderful job writing about a woman that “all the world did set so little store by.” A woman that is touted as being the mistress of Kings but really probably had little say in if she wanted to be their mistress. Let’s face it a young teen would rarely have the nerve or even the foresight to say no to the King of France when propositioned. Later after marriage and with the status, land, and titles her family had to lose would she really have dared to say no to the likes of King Henry, a man whom no one said no to?

This book is a real gem and I find it to be absolutely fantastic. This was one I really took my time over and savoured every word. I just know that this will be a book that I will enjoy over and over again. So easy to read with a mixture of family stories, touching history, social history of the 20th century and art and a few of the great artists of the time. When De Waal refers to the paintings and artists in the first third of the book I just had to look them up on line. I gave this five stars at this point and it never disappointed me at any time.

I can't believe I'm admitting that I read this book. My curiosity about human relationships knows no bounds, even at my age. Tsk.

One of the best books of 2010. Patti Smith tells a spellbinding tale of her times, NY and love. Very highly recommended.
