Roxana Robinson
Dear Reader If you've lost the center of your life, how do you find a new center, a new life? I write about the family and its complicated passions. 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 named SWEETWATER a Notable Book, and writes of its "big, solid scenes, bubbling with tension…Robinson has expanded her range." Jonathan Yardley, in the Washington Post, declared, "Robinson is one of our best writers." One of the themes of this book is the natural world, which is one of my own passions. My two-week blog on nature, gardening and the environment is at the NRDC website, www.nrdcactionfund.org. An interview is at www.armchairinterviews.com, and if you'd like to hear (and see!) me reading one of my short stories, that's at WGBH at forum.wgbh.org . 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. Roxana |
