“I carried my grace and kindness before the king. He did not know my name, my people, or my descent. He did not care. Desire seized his senses and roused him from the lethargy and indifference. He tasted life again as his old self, the man he was before the loss of Vashti and the defeat in Greece. For this King Xerxes loved me more than all the other women.” What a gem of a book! I picked this a couple of years of ago at a discount booksellers on a clearance rack. The premise caught my eye: a book of historical fiction based on the life of Queen Esther of biblical fame. Rebecca Kohn does a marvelous job of transporting the reader to ancient Persia in the court of King Xerxes. The girl, newly named Esther (to hide her Jewish ancestry), is brought into the harem to serve the King. The story of Esther is more than a simple one of a young woman brave enough to answer God’s call to save her people. Kohn presents a well-researched novel to try to explain the complexity of Esther’s situation. The result: an impressive work sure to please historical fiction fans and biblical story enthusiasts like.

So, I fell in love with Sarah Waters after a certain plot twist in Fingersmith -- I thought she laid the groundwork for it perfectly, and it came out of nowhere (for me). I think all of her books have quite a different feel to them, but you can always count on her for realistic, multi-dimensional characters and a fascinating, well-researched historical background. This book's plot is a little more meandering than the others, but I was still caught up in the character's lives and I was interested in this view of post-war England. That feeling that people had been cheated out of their youth, feeling aimless after the war... And hey, if you like this book you should read Pat Barker's Ghost Road. They remind me a little of each other.

I loved this book. It is a heart-warming story about a Chinese boy, then man, who tried to find happiness as an ethnic minority in Seattle. I enjoy stories about people from other countries, so it fit me well.
Okay, so this was an interesting book but I'm not sure I "got" it. Would probably read it again to see if I could "get" it the second time around.

Inhalt: Una und Per könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein. Sie ist kreativ, hat Modedesign studiert, er lässt sein Leben durch Statistiken und Umfragen beeinflussen. Beide sind stets anderer Meinung, waren sogar noch nie zusammen im Urlaub, weil sie sich nicht auf ein Ziel einigen können. Trotzdem wollen Una und Per nach einer einjährigen Beziehung den nächsten Schritt wagen und zusammenziehen.Gegensätze ziehen sich ja bekanntlich an… Meine Meinung: Die Autoren des Buches schildern sehr ausführlich und realitätsnah, wie schwer es sein kann, ein gemeinsames Leben aufzubauen und die Hürden des Zusammenlebens zu meistern. Dabei erfährt der Leser die Gefühle und Denkweisen der Protagonisten als eine Art ‘Tagebucheintrag’, jeweils aus der Sicht von Una oder Per. Die Schilderungen verdeutlichen, wie unterschiedlich die Beiden wirklich sind und wie oft sie aneinander vorbei reden. Trotzdem ist auch immer klar, wie sehr sich Una und Per lieben und dass sie sich bemühen, den anderen glücklich zu machen und ihre Beziehung aufrecht zuerhalten. Dass da auch oft Kompromisse gemacht werden müssen, sehen Una und Per schnell ein. Ich habe mich vom Buch sehr unterhalten gefühlt. Es gibt einen schönen Einblick in eine typische Beziehung zwischen Mann und Frau, die weder ihr Job- noch ihr Liebesleben aufgeben wollen und auch oft hin- und hergerissen zwischen ihrer Beziehung und ihrem Freundeskreis sind. Es scheint, als ob sie es niemandem recht machen könnten. Dabei war ich als Leser mehrfach unentschlossen, ob ich auf Unas oder Pers Seite stehen sollte. Die Autoren haben sämtliche Sichtweisen dermaßen glaubwürdig und nachvollziehbar beschrieben, dass sowohl die weiblichen als auch die männlichen Ansichten einleuchtend waren. Fazit: Die Geschichte um Una und Per ist amüsant, bewegend und glaubwürdig.

The Illustrations were done in watercolor. It's a story about farm animals that like to cook.

**SPOILERS AHEAD** This is the second book in the past month (following Colson Whitehead's The Intuitionist) where I've felt like the illustrious critics writing the glowing reviews that grace the jacket are like traders playing the futures market. There's no denying that Flanagan has great talent, but I'm not sure that Gould's Book of Fish is the masterpiece so many of the blurbs paint it to be, and it's certainly not (as one of them put it) "a partial answer to the question of the relative value of human existence." There is lots of imagination at work in the Book of Fish. The reconstruction of the colonization of Tasmania is fevered and vivid if a bit myopic at times (Sarah Island often seemed as if it were the size of someone's backyard, and the overall claustrophobic nature of the book, while probably intended to a degree, was a bit too much for me). The book's book about a book that's a reconstruction of a book that's a reconstruction of a book hook felt a bit familiar--kind of postmodern old hat at this point (the ghosts of House of Leaves, most of Eco's work, and Borges' "Pierre Menard," and even Delany's Dhalgren hang heavy). This book feels like it very much wants to be about narrative structure, but loses that thread for much of the middle before picking it up again in the Crayfish chapter when Gould discovers that the registers he'd kidnapped from the penitentiary office are in fact the manuscript that he himself is living. The afterword, which reveals Fight Club-style that Gould has himself been all of the characters he's described, wants desperately to be clever, but it really adds nothing to the content of the book. It should be suckerpunch but it just produces a bemused "...huh." What I got from The Book of Fish, what I take to be its central meaning, is that all history is invented. The main character (both Gould and Hammett) is a forger. The book is an elaborate recreation of nothing that ever happened. The multiplicity of personalities are really all products of the mind of the (invisible) writer. This revelation alone is not worth the 400+ pages it took to deliver. The mediations on racism, self-delusion, and the general savagery of human existence take up the bulk of the novel but are really just the (occasionally relevant) padding around the existential framing questions. I think Flanagan has it in him to write a Great Novel, but I don't think Book of Fish is it. It has great moments, great descriptions, some amusing or horrifying set-pieces, and a mostly good sense of place, but it feels like a dress-rehearsal for something truly significant. Too many of Flanagan's attempts at philosophical thought ring hollow or fall short of the meaning they're grasping for. Too many fragments go nowhere. I enjoyed reading it and will certainly look for other books by him, but I felt let down at the end.

Love love love. I cannot wait for the next book. "The Restorer" really surprised me with it's awesomeness. I kinda of wish I could give six out of five stars. :( Review will be up on Romance Reviews Today 5/1.
