Mormonism in Transition Thomas G. Alexander
Read the sections that had specific relevance to my work on Mary Ann Freeze’s diaries such as Plural Marriage, Word of Wisdom, etc. Very good introduction to why many things are the way they are in the church now, as well.
Collusion Stuart Neville
Disappointing second novel featuring the Northern Ireland assassin Gerry Fegan. The narrative is interesting, and works well, until Neville begins to bring the three strands together. When they converge, he loses control and the plot and the resolution becomes unconvincing and unjustifiably mysterious. Prose is good, but overall, didn’t like it.
Heaven’s Net is Wide Lian Hearn
Prequel to the very-enjoyable Tales of the Otori tetralogy concerning the development and tragedies of Otori Shigeru. Nicely written, and very interesting and enjoyable, even if it slides over far too many years. Really enjoyed it.
