A lot to measure up to, IMO.  She is a genius, albeit an eccentric one.  Her historical fictions are fantastic - The Feast of all Saints, Cry to Heaven.  I have waited in sone long lines for her to sign my books.

I have only ever read Interview with the Vampire (also saw the film), and I'm afraid her style was too, well, Gothic and overheated for my taste. I'm not familiar at all with her historical fictions. What are they about?

Thanks, Susie! (For both of the above.  ;D )

(Mick should take his shirt off more often.  ;D At least when he doesn't he often wears those form-fitting knit pullover shirts.  ;D)

Thanks, Cowboy! Might be too big a job for just you alone. You better bring Rich along, just in case.  ;D

I would recommend Cry to Heaven. I think you would like it Jeff. A young aristicrat from Venice is kidnapped and castrated by his older brother after the older one is passed over for the inheretance. He is taken to Florence? where he became a famous singer...his brother feared he would reveal what happened and attempted to have him murdered..there are a lot of twists and turns in the plot and castrati or no, our hero had a lot of sex, and was NO pushover...the final few pages? You won't put it down.

Thanks, Jess, that does sound like an interesting story. Wouldn't be the first novel I've read with a castrated central character, either. That would be Mary Renault's The Persian Boy.

I take it he's castrated so he can't have any offspring to inherit?

You know castration is alful far to take it, I would be better had he just lived a good life, that is the best revenge.
