Wavering between 4 and 5 stars. Her writing is thoughtful and dense but at the same time, an effortless read. The only weakness, I thought, was the dialogue at the party. Shields is terrific at writing inner dialogue, not so great at natural-sounding spoken dialogue.

This is probably my favorite Lethem book. What's not to love about humans genetically modified with animal DNA? LOVE IT.

The Midwife of Venice is Roberta Rich's debut novel. And it's one I wouldn't have discovered on my own - so, thanks Jessica for the great recommendation! Hannah Levi is a midwife in the Jewish ghetto of Venice in 1575. When a Christian nobleman asks her to attend his wife, she initially refuses. After all, it is forbidden by law for a Jew to give care to a Christian. But he is desperate - his wife has been labouring for 2 days and is near death. Against the wishes of her rabbi, Hannah agrees - the nobleman has agreed to pay an exorbitant fee. That fee will allow Hannah to buy back her husband Isaac, who has been captured and forced into slavery in Malta. The Midwife of Venice is full of rich historical detail - the social mores and customs of the time, religious differences and a fascinating look at midwifery. The chapters alternate between Hannah in Venice and Isaac in Malta and their continuing struggle to be together. Isaac's chapters are just as full of historical detail, but the characters in these chapters seemed a little overdrawn, such as the nun who buys Isaac. It is Hannah and her tale I enjoyed the most. Her character came to life on the page. Rich has successfully combined history, suspense and romance into a fascinating page turner. My only complaint - it ended too soon! But it looks like a sequel is in the works - I'll be picking it up for sure. **Congratulations to Roberta Rich - The Midwife of Venice is #8 on the Globe and Mail hardcover bestseller list!**

A fantastic historical fiction that's mostly (amazingly) fact.

Although somewhat fantastic to believe, I really like this high seas adventure tale, especially the fact that it was from a girl's point of view. The character of Charlotte seemed true to her age (13 when the story starts) - naive, still looking for guidance & often acting without thinking the consequences through - but very gutsy and brave. A good story!

Beautifully hallucinogenic. Movie version doesn't quite take the cake, as usual. Damn Hollywood liberal elite buttholes. Or something.

It's not as good as the first book. Plus there's no way in hell FBI agents would give files on open murder investigations to a minor! It's a major plot failure.
