“I am overwhelmed. I am the most discomfited of dancers. Simultaneously chillingly I am certain that the wedding guests sense it to be a sad occasion yet all are in desperate conspiracy to produce a joyful atmosphere. They dance madly. As though ... as though if they were to stop and cast a thoughtful eye on the bride and groom the illusion would be dispelled. The party dresses and hairspray and starched collars and lipsticked lips would melt away and all present would be left standing in the rags of Huda's despair.”

Hi Carolyn- Thank you for your review. I will add Dragon Fighter to my "to read" list because I value the opinion of an author that I read and enjoyed. I wish there were more hours in the day as my list is ever growing! Andrea

I checked out God of Small Things and love the style. I'm having to read it in very, very small doses right now though and that just isn't working. I'll try to get a copy to take to Mexico with me. Are you in Erie now. We had our book discussion on Jhumpa Lahiri and no one could remember any of the details or the stories. Everyone remembered liking them though. I think the holiday season has just interfered too deeply in people's lives.
I LOVED A View from Garden City by Carolyn Baugh, and I was not alone! My book group loved it. The women's stories were profound and the characters were memorable. It made for a great discussion and opened our eyes to life in Egypt.
First of all, everything else I read pales next to View from Garden City by Carolyn Baugh. What a book! Poetry in prose. I so want to visit Egypt now. I want to meet these women.
