Shocking Paris: Soutine, Chagall and the Outsiders of Montparnasse
by Stanley Meisler

Shocking Paris (3/1/2015)

Not as good as others Meisler has written. Seemed that he started with one idea and then didn't have enough for a book and went back and added more information. Perhaps a good editor will smooth it out.

Low Town: A Novel
by Daniel Polansky

Low Town (6/28/2011)

Good descriptions. Interesting plot. I was there in Low Town. But I just didn't enjoy my visit. Perhaps Mr. Polansky's next effort will be more worth the visit.

The Kitchen Daughter: A Novel
by Jael McHenry

The Kitchen Daughter (4/2/2011)

Good,informative read. I enjoyed reading about someone dealing with Asperger's syndrome, a condition about which I knew very little. I would recommend it to book clubs.

Mozart's Sister
by Rita Charbonnier

Review of Mozart's Sister (10/24/2007)

A book about a dysfunctional family, scandals, true love and music. Lots and lots of music. Sad that women have come so far and how little has changed.
