5 out of 5 stars itty profound look at middle age crisis.......2005-09-28

In her late thirties and unhappy, Veronica Legacy decides it is time to pull up anchor, give up on the secure middle class existence she lives and start anew. Accompanied by her twenty years old daughter Simpson, Veronica leaves her spouse to return to the only place she ever felt at home, the farm of beloved septuagenarian Ernestine Trueheart. She doubts her husband will notice that the two women in his life have left him.

However, though welcomed by Ernestine, Veronica realizes you can't come home as nothing remains the same. The energetic Ernestine of memory is a slowly dying elderly woman. Still she offers Veronica what she most needs a sense of worth and belonging, but will that prove enough for an adult seeking a haven from the storms of life?

This is a terrific slice of life character study that showcases intriguing individuals, especially Veronica, struggling with problems that have thrown them into a depression yet come out fighting for what they believe in. Veronica is the center of this interesting tale, but the support cast mainly Ernestine and Simpson make her a fully developed protagonist. Fans will appreciate this fine often witty but always profound look at middle age crisis.

Book Description

The first kiss reminded her of raspberry sherbet…

And no man's kiss has since matched that wonderful, summery essence in all its glory. LilyRose knows her rare ability to "see" sounds and "taste" shapes—synesthesia— is a gift that defines who she is…but it's also made her an object of ridicule.

Le 1er dictionnaire bilingue français-polonais de poche!
Il est enfin arrivé. Les francophones disposent désormais d'un véritable dictionnaire bilingue français-polonais de poche! Si le génitif des masculins est donné (en -a ou en -u), il n'en va pas de même pour la rection des adjectifs (dumny z+ génitif), de la présentation des verbes de mouvement: is'c'-chodzic' (imperfectifs déterminé et indéterminé) / po'js'c' (perfectif déterminé) non-précisées. Mais ce dictionnaire existe! Espérons que la prochaine édition sera revue et... corrigée.

ringtone88.com border="0"> Intriguing mystery and enjoyable women friends' book.......2005-10-23

Really liked Riggs Park and would recommend it to o my friends. The story captivated me from the first and the mystery of what happened to Penny and wondering what Marilyn was doing having a face lift kept me turning the pages.

The story shows that sometimes what we remember from childhood is very different from what actually went on.

The flashbacks were a bit confusing at times, but I was able to keep up.

Look forward to more books by this author.

5 out of 5 stars captivating.......2005-08-12

I couldn't put the book down--loved the characters but also the depth and uniqueness of the story. Can't believe how much the author could pack into this size of book--will be looking for her books in the future. Highly recommend. The story was so human, so real, something all women could relate to...

4 out of 5 stars fine middle age amateur sleuth.......2005-07-15

They met as little kids in the DC Riggs Park area and have remained friends for over fifty years though Barbara Cohen lives in Wrightsville, North Carolina while Marilyn Waxman remained in the Washington area. Marilyn informs Barbara that she is back and she needs to see her to discuss what happened to another friend Penny when they were in college. Knowing that it is cancer Barbara agrees to visit her best friend although she is having personal problems with her lover Jon.

Marilyn shocks Barbara when she mentions she will undergo a facelift prior to the experimental cancer treatment. Even more stunning is the secret that Penny had a child before vanishing; the father is either Marilyn's famous singing brother Steve or an unknown she apparently met on the "Bus Ride to see Steve. Reluctantly Barbara agrees to search for clues that would lead to Penny's offspring. As she begins her quest in the old neighborhood she realizes you can never go home, but continues her elusive venture.

This fine middle age amateur sleuth character study is a well written buddy tale with a cast that makes the ensemble cast especially the lead female friends seem real. The friendship between Marilyn and Barbara serves as the key foundation to an intriguing plot. Barbara's inquires begin somewhat late in the novel as she is not convinced she should follow the clues until she realizes her beloved buddy needs to know the truth. With a terrific final twist to the delightful RIGGS PARK, readers will look forward to what comes next from Ellyn Bache.

5 out of 5 stars Complex, Intriguing, Lyrical.......2005-07-07

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The plot is layered and satisfyingly complex. The characters are true-to-life. Nothing is sugar-coated. On top of all this, the language is beautiful, almost lyrical in tone.

What started out seeming to be a simple tale of two old friends facing their immortality and revisiting their pasts, regrets and all, turned into a tale of friendship, betrayal, love and a mystery with surprising twists and turns.

I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mainstream women's fiction by Elizabeth Berg, Elaine Kagan, Eileen Goudge, et.al.

Product Description

Embarrassed by her mother's all-too-public civil rights activities in the fall of 1963, 17-year-old Beryl Rosinsky flees her home in Washington, DC, and begins college at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Here, in the segregated South, she means to reject her destiny as her mother's daughter by conforming and fitting in. But she finds herself in a world of uncomfortable paradoxes. Strict rules for women don't apply to men. Southern good manners don't extend to the black girl who lives alone on the other side of the dorm. Soon Beryl begins to appreciate her family's values -- and learn who she really is.

4 out of 5 stars A lively look back at the '60s.......2002-09-29

Anyone who lived through the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement in the early '60s or wants to know what it was like -- or who remembers (or wonders) about the rules college women had to endure (and college men didn't), will enjoy this lively, lighthearted novel that is also full of timely issues. Beryl Rosinsky thinks she's going to escape her civil-rights-activist mother when she runs away to college in the South, but instead she's forced to come to terms with exactly the kinds of prejudices and biases her mother is fighting.

4 out of 5 stars Straightforward, honest story.......2000-03-01

Ellyn Bache serves up an interesting tale of relationships and identity in The Activist's Daughter. Living in bustling, Kennedy-era Washington, D.C., the Rosinsky family would appear to blend in well with their surroundings, if not for father Leonard's despondance over his reputation and career being destroyed after the McCarthy trials and mother Leah's determination to single-handedly help every worthy civil rights cause in the nation. Embarassed and angered by her mother's attention toward other people (and lack thereof toward her own family), seventeen-year-old Beryl wishes to break altogether from the activist's shadow. The best answer appears to be enrolling in an out-of-state college--North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which in 1963 was more likely a different country.

The Activist's Daughter is straightforward storytelling and a good recommendation for teenage readers interested in segregation and the Civil Rights Era. Though I would have liked to have seen more interaction between Beryl and her mother (who disappears mid-story and seems to pop up when convenient), Bache compensates for this strong conflict by keeping Leah in spirit, as seen in Beryl as watch her grow. Anyone frustrated with what television season has to offer in terms of "strong women" should pick us this book instead.
