Home Repair/Liz Rosenberg

Thursday, December 25, 2008

I had the privilege, this Christmas day, of reading an early copy of Home Repair (Avon/HarperCollins), Liz Rosenberg's debut novel for adults, which will be available this coming April. In this brief video/photo montage, I read a few favorite sentences from the book and talk briefly (though so much more can be said) about its impact on my own mood and mind today.

Liz has lived a remarkable life. She knows sorrow first hand, and loss. She knows the persuasive power of children. She believes in love. She writes extraordinary sentences that somehow tangle economy and heart.

That does sound good. I got three of your books today! (Undercover, House of Dance, and Seeing Past Z.) Yay!

Whoa—Vivian: Are you still standing after your crowd of happy Christmas Evers?

And B&BM—I don't even know what to say. Too much. I'll say that. Too much. Please thank Santa for me.

I'm putting this on my to be purchased list right now - it's just my kind of story.

Becca,

I was thinking of you as I read this book.....

I love it when I can't put a book down and, if I do, I can't stop thinking about it. Although, it's killer on my sleep cause I usually stay up to finish a book.
