Avid reader of many genres. Favorites include biography, food culture, health, and classics. I write reviews for synthesis and sharing.

I self-published a biography, Flowers of Heaven, about a family member who commits suicide in 1942. It's a woman's story--an all too familiar one from the era when women had little agency, rights, or a voice.

Flowers of Heaven is Debbie's first self-published book, a captivating story and meticulously researched biography about a soon-to-be divorced wife and mother of two and the social circumstances of her era. A book that is as much about women’s roles and rights in mid-twentieth-century Canada as it is a family’s story of loss and love.

Literary Theory by Terry Eagleton

After reading Terry Eagleton’s Literary Theory: An Introduction, I’m no more certain of what literary theory really is than before I started. The book started out strong. The introduction and the first two chapters were promising. The introduction, " ...more

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
Rate this book
Clear rating
This was a haunting novel, and I loved it. I think it’s classified as science fiction; at the very least, it’s a dystopian novel about thirty-nine women living (and dying) at the end of the world. The writing is spare and engaging. It’s translated fr ...more

This was a marvelous book—it was not only about Emily Brontë but also her two sisters, Charlotte and Anne. The sisters, along with their brother Bramwell, led an eclectic and nontraditional life, more so given the era—the early 1800s in England aroun ...more

How can one fairly describe Murdoch’s book, A Fairly Honourable Defeat, with its themes that are cloaked with evil and darkness but are embedded in an almost comical plot? It’s perhaps best described as an engaging novel with a brilliant cast of char ...more

Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist
Rate this book

It's difficult to rate this book, which reads more like a food memoir by Shauna Niequist than a recipe book. Each chapter tells a story about Niequest’s life: an event, gathering, or encounter with one or a group of friends. And boy does Niequest hav ...more
