The Doll by Daphne du Maurier



Ryan -- thanks for calling this to our attention.  (For anyone who likes Rebecca, I suggest at least checking out the description of this book to be released later this month.)

"Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here." -- Leo Tolstoy

Re: What are your recent book purchases?

City of Tranquil Light  Found this one at BN while I was looking for my current f2f book club book. Reviews are so good that I may choose it for book club when it's my turn to host. Of course that's Feb--may not be able to hold off until then.

Time Was Soft There  Intrigued by this one simply because I felt I've missed out on those non-institutional educational life experiences. Right now, I'll just settle for seeing these experiences through others' words.

Beneath the Lion's Gaze  Can't recall where I saw this one posted. BN perhaps? Anyway, it looked like one I couldn't pass up.

Last Night in Twisted River   I'm not a big Irving reader but the buzz was so good on this one (and it was on sale) that I couldn't resist passing it up.

Re: What are your recent book purchases?

Shards I like coming of age stories and have been eyeing this one for a while and finally couldn't resist purchasing it.

Kosher Chinese  This one was on the same BN New Authors shelf as "Shards".  It looked interesting--a nice little coming together of different cultures.
