Roxana Robinson
Dear Librarian, I write about the family and about passion. If you liked Sue Miller's Lost in the Forest, or Ian McEwan's Saturday, I think you'll like SWEETWATER, which is about love, grief and redemption. Shirley Hazzard said, "There is such quiet power in this fateful novel: a story of loss and remarriage…this is cool intrepid writing, not a word wasted, creating a human tension reflecting that of our endangered world." The New York Times (which named it a Notable Book) writes of its "big, solid scenes, bubbling with tension…Robinson has expanded her range." Jonathan Yardley declared, "Robinson is one of our best writers." One of the themes of the book is the natural world, which is one of my own passions. My two-week blog on nature, gardening and the environment can be found at the NRDC website, www.nrdcactionfund.org. And please feel free to link to my essays and interviews at www.armchairinterviews.com, www.smallspiralnotebook.com and www.penonfire.blogspot.com. I can be reached at my own website, www.roxanarobinson.com, and I'd be delighted to talk to book groups, and to do readings in NYC and Connecticut. Happy Reading, Roxana Robinson
