I felt a profound heaviness reading this distressing story about a woman trying to understand more deeply what her murdered sister endured in her life. To me, this book is in great part about excavating secrets. | |

I loved ALL MY PUNY SORROWS and thus was thrilled to find another Toews book in the Todos Santos Little Free Library. There were sparks that carried me past page 100, but for the most part, not my cup of tea mainly due to the writing style. I'll give ...more | |

It was fascinating to read about so many single women who immigrated to Todos Santos. I enjoyed their quirkiness, creativity, and honesty about their joys and struggles. Moonstone--a fixture in the area who recently died--has an idiosyncratic and cha ...more | |

I enjoyed the first few chapters but then it began lagging and I gave up at page 150 (of 850). Too many other books to read. I think I would have loved this book when I was 15. | |

5.0 out of 5 stars
Gwen Jumps the Fence, November 16, 2009

(REAL NAME)
COMPLEMENTARY COLORS is the second novel I've read by Kate Evans and I have to say I'm a fan. The book is about a straight girl who meets a gay girl and, despite a history of having never really thought about it, edges toward a lesbian affair. Complicating this strange, new attraction is that she's deeply into a tricky long-term, live-in relationship with an attractive male scientist. The female love object has her own entanglement -- a Lesbian minister.
Triangles upon triangles seems to be Miss Evans's style, as it was also characteristic of her first book, FOR THE MAY QUEEN (which was about the sexual adventures of a college coed). Plotting is one of this writer's strengths and there's some striking imagery, as befits a novel about two people who meet in a poetry workshop. But what really fascinated me was the close-up portrait of the woman changing her sexual stripes. A fun, sexy, quick read.

Dizin is a ski resort situated to the north of Tehran iran in the Alborz mountain range.
The huge Dizin ski resort was established in 1969 [1:]. The ski season in Dizin also lasts longer than European ski resorts(from December to May) because of its high altitude.[2:].
The highest ski lift ha reaches 3,600 m (11,800 ft), making it one of the 40 highest ski resorts in the world.
Dizin ski amenities include two hotels, 19 cottages and 5 restaurants, villas and private apartments around the Dizin ski resort accommodate thousands of people every year.

Memoirs of a Geisha is a movie that when I first saw it I had to see it immediately again (I rented it on DVD so that is exactly what I did.....) A most poetic & beautiful film..again with many truths & surprisingly some humor for covering such a humor- less topic of being sold as a young woman because of the family's poverty (set in old Japan pre-WWII)
Nice to discuss books into movies with you. Thanks for adding me here.

Wow, you've got an impressive profile. Congratulations on your new book.
A Connecticut Yankee is one of my favorite books, too, though I hadn't thought of it in ages until I saw it on your list.
Thanks for the invitation to add as a friend.
