Time's Echo: Music, Memory, and the Second World War:
"A real-life friend recommended this book to me, with this quote from Pulp Fiction added: You would dig it the most. My friend certainly knows me. I loved every page of this book and would be surprised if it's not my Book of the Year.

“What kind of person did you say he was, this second cousin of yours?” Gray wanted to know.
"He is the only son of my uncle’s second wife, who disinherited the children of his first wife and passed the entire fortune onto Martin," said Geoffrey." I’m not quite certain what that makes him.”
The faintest trace of a smile came to Gray’s lips. “A sitting duck?” he ventured.”

“There it was, all round them. It partook, she felt, carefully helping Mr. Bankes to a specially tender piece, of eternity.”

“[Genre is] like working in any form—in poetry, for example. When you work in form, be it a sonnet or villanelle or whatever, the form is there and you have to fill it. And you have to find how to make that form say what you want to say. But what you find, always—I think any poet who’s worked in form will agree with me—is that the form leads you to what you want to say. It is wonderful and mysterious.”

Very sad to learn of the passing of Amos Oz, someone whose literary work and strong stand for justice in Israel & the Palestinian areas has moved us both. Bill
Thank you, Lisa, for accepting my Friend request. I enjoyed reading your comments to Roger's review... Now I look forward to meeting your book updates in my Feed.
I'm here. But, unlike with someone who is only a reader (i.e. not a Goodreads author) I don't seem to be able to do the compare books thing. There is not the usual link on your profile page, or if there is I can't find it. R.
Thanks for your friend invite and your fantastic response to my absurd question, which, ironically, I am unable to give an answer to myself! I have noticed your contributions in many discussions threads of common GR and I am looking forward to exchanging our thoughts about books, life and anything else that might come our way! :)
Lisa, thank you for the friend invitation, naturally I accepted since I've been following your GR activities for quite a while.I'd like to discuss the Spanish Labyrinth at any time, hopefully I'll finish it soon and be able to write a review. I've been reading various things about the SCW the late 2-3 years.
I see you are in Amherst. Do you teach at one of the schools there? My daughter went to Amherst college. Amherst seemed like a really cool town.
Thanks for your recent GR Friend request. I have just ordered your book Leaving You from Alibris for real cheap. Sorry to deprive you of any financial benefit! I was tempted by the Kindle edition but that was way too expensive! I lived in Greenfield and Springfield back in the 80s and was disappointed to find that Massachusetts was not the radical mecca that I had hoped for! I am now in central Virginia, suffering conservatism at its worst/best.
Yes, the world needs more intelligent, soul-searching, and humane voices like his. Best to you in the new year.
