Secret Daughter: A Novel
by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
a rising author (3/3/2010)
This was an enjoyable book about love from many different family aspects. The characters were well developed and for the most part likable. The Indian culture was vividly described. It would make a good choice for a book club due to the relationship issues. I hope there are many more books by Shilpi Gowda to come!
Signed Mata Hari: A Novel
by Yannick Murphy
Signed Mata Hari (12/12/2007)
I enjoyed this book, especially because I knew the "name" Mata Hari but didn't really know any real information. It was easy to read and hard to put down at times. The author did an excellent job of depicting the character and the atmosphere to get a clear vision of the time period and what was going on.
