Monogomy by Sue Miller


I have not read anything by Sue Miller in a while, but I do recall loving her books, especially "The Good Mother." In the latest book she deals with marriage and loss and infidelity: 

Graham and Annie have been happily married for nearly three decades when Graham’s sudden death leaves Annie reeling — not only from the loss of her husband but also from the secrets his passing reveals. Those truths challenge everything Annie thought she knew about Graham and force her to reconcile the vision of who she thought her husband was with who he turned out to be. Sue Miller weaves an engaging story of marriage that Publishers Weekly describes as being “grounded by vibrant prose, vividly portrayed secondary characters, and the resiliency of everlasting love.”

A good read!

The Forger's Daughter by Bradford Morrow


Read this for the Book Club. It was OK but not great. And we all seemed to agree.  Part of the book was interesting - learning about forgery and old books, etc. "It is a loveletter to the art of forgery." Listened to an interview with the author and referred to it this way.  This was a sequel to another book and without having read that one, pieces of the story were missing.

I won't be recommending this - except maybe to people who are interested in the art of forgery.
