![]() Ps, I also read somewhere that she had planned to expand her Westmoreland series into a contemporary series by exploring descendants of that family. It’s the type of writing that I find missing in a lot of new HR these days.Īnyways, are there other authors like that for you? Who just completely abandoned left the HR genre? She just gives so much depth to her characters and the world they exist in. I absolutely ADORE the way she writes her heroes and heroines (albeit they are very problematic at times). And Judith McNaught hits all the spots for me. Word flow, good dialogue, character depth, world building, relationships advancing, etc all matter to me so much when it comes to a good book. I consider myself a very, very, very picky HR reader. She is so talented in what she does and I cannot fathom the idea that she will no longer gift us these beautiful stories of love and forgiveness. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve forgotten a lot of her stories and have decided to pick up all her books.

I am re-familiarizing myself with Judith McNaught & her “Almost” series and my heart is completely and utterly shattered that she hasn’t written HR in decades. ![]()

![]() As Milton Hindus wrote in The New York Times Book Review, "The pathos of the ending may move the reader to tears, but they are not sentimental tears. As such, it belongs on a small shelf with such mid-century classics as Rabbit, Run The Adventures of Augie March and The Moviegoer. At its heart, this is a book about the burden of sexual freedom. Set in Warsaw and the shtetls of the 1870s-but first published in 1960-Isaac Bashevis Singer's second novel hides a haunting psychological portrait inside a beguiling parable.

Gradually, as it teeters between hilarity and hysteria, Dov’s patter becomes a kind of memoir, taking us back into the terrors of his childhood: we meet his beautiful flower of a mother, a Holocaust survivor in need of constant monitoring, and his punishing father, a striver who had little understanding of his creative son. In the audience is a district court justice, Avishai Lazar, whom Dov knew as a boy, along with a few others who remember Dov as an awkward, scrawny kid who walked on his hands to confound the neighborhood bullies. In a little dive in a small Israeli city, Dov Greenstein, a comedian a bit past his prime, is doing a night of stand-up.
