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.

This Dark Night by Deborah Lutz
Rate this book
Clear rating
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

A Fairly Honourable Defeat by Iris Murdoch

Clear rating
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
Clear rating
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

This is the first work I’ve read by Simone de Beauvoir, and after enjoying this novella immensely, it won’t be my last. The book spoke to me. It addressed what I face as a sixty-one-year-old woman (I’m the same age as the novella's protagonist): agin ...more

The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl

Ruth Reichl is a good writer; one of my favorite books of Reichl’s is her memoir Tender to the Bone in which she describes her childhood and her introduction to cooking via her mother (who couldn’t cook and was a bit ‘out there’). The Paris Novel is ...more

The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene

Another stellar novel by Graham Greene, the third I’ve read over the past year. His themes often include religion, and The Power and Glory not only personifies religious themes but also sin and good vs. evil. But I’d classify The Power and Glory more ...more
