Jencey's Writer's Corner

Laura Dave’s  novel is an interesting read.   Thank you to Penguin for sending this novel to me. Synopsis: Annie sat down to watch her favorite movie Roman Holiday.   There is one catch; every time she watches the movie something bad happens.   So the movie is often pulled out with some hesitation.   After recently watching the movie her husband Nick arrives to tell her that he wants to separate.   He needs freedom to explore what he truly wants.   Annie is devastated and goes out at the encouragement of her best friend Jordan.   She goes to the usual hotel for a drink and meets an unusual bar tender.    They soon develop a relationship which leads to a very unusual family.   Who will she choose the bar tender or Nick? How will her career play into her decision? My Thoughts: As I said that this novel was an interesting read.    The plot is the most fascinating aspect of the novel.   Would you cho...

  I received this novel as a gift.   This is my first time reading sharing her work. Synopsis:   The first case we hear about is the case of the murder of John Dresser.   Three boys are accused of the crime.   Pieces from this case are woven throughout the novel.   The other case is the murder of Jemima Hastings.   Acting Inspector Superintendent Isabelle Ardery has asked Thomas Lynley to help out in the investigation and help her work with his team.   He consents to assist in the investigation that seems a little over Isabel’s head.   Meredith Powell who is a friend of Jemima’s also conducts her own investigation focusing on Gordon Jossie and Gina Dickens.    Gordon is one of Jemima’s exboyfriends who seems very suspicious.   Who killed Jemima?   Will inspector Lynley be able to help Isabelle? My Thoughts: When I first saw this novel I couldn’t believe how long it was.      I feel that ...

The Good Woman is the first book in the Brennan Sister’s series.   This is also my first time reading Jane Porter’s work. Synopsis: Meg has it all three great kids, a wonderful husband, and a great job.   Then there is her extended family that helps on the side.   Meg loves to be successful in everything she does, but lately that hasn’t been enough.   She doesn’t feel that she is getting what she needs from her husband or job.   It is easier for her to give advice to others than face her own problems.   One day Meg is confronted with a choice that could change everything.   Will she decide to make that choice?   Or continue her same routine? My Thoughts: I am always excited to share a new author with all of you.   I have heard many good comments about Jane’s work.   She definitely writes with passion and strength of character.   The emotional conflict was so strong that I felt a great deal for Meg and her famil...
