"This is a beauty of a book! Just as I cannot think of any person who would not benefit from a salon visit, I cannot imagine a woman not benefiting from reading of Debbie Rodriguez's beautiful mission. I was on the edge of my salon chair as I read her gut-wrenching story that revealed true beauty outside and within."
—Kathy L. Patrick, Founder of The Pulpwood Queens Book Club

"LOVING FRANK had me hooked from the first page on. What a great first novel for Nancy Horan. I could really feel Mamah's joys and sorrow...her love for her children. . .her love for Frank. . .her need to love herself. Frank never endeared himself to me, but like all men of genius, he danced to his own tune. This book will be a huge success, especially among the Book Club crowd. Thank you for sharing this new novel with me."

"A thoughtful debut novel that pits morality against passion. . .the perfect selection to jump-start some satisfying heated arguments within your book club."

"Lisa See has done it again.
Peony In Love is not only an interesting read but filled with the history and culture of the Chinese women. To be entertained and educated at the same time is such a treat. The manner in which Lisa See intertwines the novel with the opera The Peony Pavilion is mesmerizing and a work of literary genius."
—Mary Healey
"There are grand and stately themes here—the transcendence of love, the silenced voices of women, the subversive power of art. . . Peony in Love is a transporting read, to lost worlds earthly and otherwise."

"I really enjoyed this book. I found myself wanting to get back to it to see what would happen to Lillian next, what adventure/tragedy would befall her. Was Sophie really alive and would Lillian ever get to her? I think this would be a great selection for book clubs. I look forward to proposing it."
—Liz McReynolds
"AWAY is a modest name for a book as gloriously transporting as Amy Bloom's new novel. Alive with incident and unforgettable characters, it sparkles and illuminates as brilliantly as it entertains... AWAY is a literary triumph, a book-club must and a popular novel destined for wide readership. It is accessible to the point of pure enthrallment without compromising its eloquence or thematic strength. Yet it is also a classic page-turner, one that delivers a relentlessly good read."
