A Respectable Trade
Philippa Gregory
Touchstone
, 2007
Powerful indictment against slavery that is touching and elegantly presented.
A touching story full of real people whose lives are affected by this "respectable" trade. It is beautifully written and researched. Nothing dry or boring here--as we read about well-drawn characters carried along in a page turning plot. I don't in any way agree ...

A Respectable Trade
Philippa Gregory
HarperCollins Publishers

A historical novel depicts a human tragedy ...
This is one of my favorite books. In addition to being an enjoable read,, one would learn well-researched historical facts about slave trade that deprived Africa of its sons and daughters of talents. Its consequences could be seen even today. This book lends a human ...

Gentleman's Agreement: The World-Famous Novel About Antisemitism in "Respectable America"
Laura, Z Hobson-
Cherokee Publishing Company
, 2007
A good book that is, sadly, not dated
Although the book takes place in 1946 and concerns rampant anti-semitism, both overt and subtle, it's a book that trancends time. The book's anti-semitism could easily be replaced by any other kind of racism and feel right at home in 2005. The story concerns a liberal ...
A Highly Respectable Marriage (Signet Regency Romance, No 1830)
Sheila Walsh
Signet
, 1982
Sleeper hit! Endearing and wonderful characters
Like another reviewer, I just chanced to pull this book from my shelf. A 1982 novel with rather small print, I wasn't sure it had much promise. I was wrong. What a delightful novel with mature, though sometimes flawed, characters. There is not one person you meet that ...
