Summer reading for us? Two more titles

["J. Kimball" <jkim@BORG.COM>]

Besides the Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, I've enjoyed two others
I might suggest, two very different ones, but like Kingsolver, the
narrative is carried by two or more women:

Paradise by Toni Morrison (About a remote community of blacks in the west
-- from the viewpoint of several women; deeply serious, tough-slogging, but
very rewarding.)

My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki (About a Japanese-American woman working
as an interpreter for a Japanese video crew who are taping American
families. A subplot set in Japan portrays the Japanese wife of one of the
crew; light, funny, with a serious message running underneath.)
