The Irishman John Banville is one of my favorite writers. Moody, anguished, inventive. Here he is in a new incarnation as Benjamin Black, writer of fine, moody, anguished, inventive mysteries. This is his first and I recommend it highly. I finished it on the way home from Bozeman. Also finished David McCullough's A Greater Journey: Americans in Paris. Every single page was a feast. What would I give to have been in Paris in the 19th century when it was THE place to be. Wonderful.

Also read "The Paris Wife," novel about Hemingway & 1st wife, and their life in those magical days in Paris, Spain, etc. Based on real research, but fictionalized. The woman was a saint...
Look it up on Amazon.
I put this book on my "to read" list, thank you!
hello - are you there - miss you!!
