I have made a point of reading everything she's written, and I think I liked Lucy Barton the best.

Still, I need to check out the Lucy Barton stuff. I've long felt nurtured by John Blase's poetry. Sometimes, i just go looking online for what he's put out there last. I'm so delighted to have the Jubilee book in my possession to bask in, when I need it. Silence and Beauty, is still causing ripples in my soul, after finishing it a couple months ago. I want to see the movie Silence, but need to find someone who will watch it with me.

I probably shouldn't have been so prescriptive (aka bossy) about saying read My Name is Lucy Barton first -- it's not like it says "the long-awaited sequel" on the front or anything like that! But I think if you've read LB then you understand the allusions to Lucy's family struggles better.

I'm about half way through Anyhting is Possible, and I realize that I should have read My Name is Lucy Barton first. Oh well! I think I'll take your advice and read Silnce before reading Silence and Beauty! They sound fascinating. Judyhttp://connectingdotstogod.comnoreply@blogger.com
