I just came across this title in my Amazon recommendations. I read it about 15 years ago and I STILL think about it and recommend it. Absolutely fascinating. I would love to see a follow up to this story.
The Winthrop Woman: A Novel
Anya Seton
Chicago Review Press, 2006
A city on the hill?
This book is a fascinating take on the origins of colonial America. I normally do not read historical fiction set in the United States. I selected this book because of my admiration for Anya Seton's Katherine and Avalon. This heavily fact-centered novel starts out in ...

Fantastic!
I got this book to help with a drama camp that I was teaching. It helped me organize and plan in a way that kept the kids focused. They had a great time and so did I. I highly recommend this book.

Stephen Davis
Chicago Review Press, 2000
This book changed my life.
Today is the day I turn 33 years old, and out of all those years, and all of the books I've read, this one takes the proverbial cake. Birthday cake, if you will. Levon Helm is one of my heroes, and with a little help from his friends, he's managed to write a book ...

I am an avid avid reader, especially about English Historical Fiction. I just finished this book,,,and of all the amazing authors I have read, including Phillipa Gregory and Margaret George, Anya Seton has taken first place in quality historical fiction. Here ...
Green Darkness
Anya Seton
Chicago Review Press, 2005
Dark Splendor
This book is beautifully written with fascinating subject matter. I am intrigued by the idea of reincarnation, and that we can go back and relive past experiences. Ms. Seton crafts a dark, lurid tale of a doomed love affair between a monk and his lovely student. Unlike ...
I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie

Entertaining, fun, and informative!!
I got this book for Christmas from my mother, who knows that I have a great love for classic rock and roll. I couldn't wait to read it, and it did not disappoint in the least. This book wasn't a tell all, but a look into what it was like to be part of the "scene". ...

William Gurstelle
Chicago Review Press, 2001
Just Plain Fun
Being a parent and a science teacher, I really love this book. It takes me back to my younger years when it was fun to launch anything more than 10 feet and still have all of your hair intact. What fun this book is! Gurstelle is great!

I'm definitely stronger now!

FOREVER A CLASSIC, IS FOREVER AMBER
If you have not read this or if you were thinking about reading this book, i cannot stress enough...how important it is in timeless literature! This book is a long one, HOWEVER! do-not be discouraged by the sheer volume...for when you reach that last page you will wish ...
The Ivy Tree
Mary Stewart
Chicago Review Press, 2007
interesting
This book is wordy and descriptive--half of our book club really appreciated her use of words, and half found it tedious. The beginning is a little slow and hard to engage in, but stick with it because the plot thickens enormously in the middle and the twist is so ...

Great historical fiction about the trail to California and the early pioneers of the country
Living out West I've always been into the history of the Oregon trail but I never knew very much about the history off the California trial (except apparently there was assign showing the turn to Oregon and on fork was a nugget of gold and on the other was the word ...
