i loved this book as I worked with Russell and Lyor in the late 80's early 90's...and exciting time in the development of hip hop and the business its become
As with several of the books on this list, this is a re-read. I haven't read Silk, or Murder of Angels, but from the novels and short stories I've read Kiernan has a feel for the rhythm and meter of language which few writers these days do, along with a gift for the telling phrase. She's moved away from the compound words she uses freely in these stories, which in some ways is a shame. This is an older edition, with a cover image she despised.
This for me is a very strange reading, since maybe last time I read an harlquin was 15 years ago. But I read this one cause Willa Lambert is the "woman" pen name of William Maltese and I know that he is rewriting it in M/M version (title Gold Sands), so I want to read both version to better notice the diversity. Jenny Mowry is a 29 years old virgin archaeologist. She is in Egypt to work with Peter Donas, an older archaeologist, who happen to be also an handsome man and the grandson of the lover of the Jenny's gradmother, a clandestin affair ended with the tragic death of the woman. So when they fall in love, Jenny is sure their love will not survive and she finds every excuse to not believe in the sincerity of Peter. Plus she is wooing by Abdul, an handsome sheikh. And Jenny is jelaous of Peter because he spends his spare time with another female... a beautiful female of peregrine hawk!!! This is a novel that alternate funny moment to tragedy, all mixed up to give us a story that, after 25 years, is still fresh and enjoyable. http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/62...
