My book club enjoyed The Scent of God immensely but we did have a few questions about the up-and-coming author, Beryl Singleton Bissell, and she was kind enough to offer some interesting answers.
DR: What vestiges of your past with your husband Vittorio influence you the most today?
BSB: Because Vittorio loved me, I learned to trust human love. His courage taught me that life is to be lived and death to be embraced courageously. He took me to Italy where I became a lover of travel and learned that eating good food would not make me fat. Vittorio’s love made me beautiful and gave me two beautiful children who in turn gifted me with precious grandchildren.
DR: How did you meet your current husband?

Just a heads up! I FINALLY finished ‘The Red Queen’ and to my surprise I did actually enjoy it, a bit slow sometimes, but still a good read.
I just put up a review: http://thekea.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/book-review-the-red-queen/
I’ll be back later to look around your blog since I haven’t had time to do so yet, and I must apologize, I’ve been working and trying to get through the Drabble book.
I’m reading Lolita now, but I will definitely advise you when I finish the Rape of Nanking and I will most certainly post a review :)
