Valentines Stories (Kindle Edition)

Editorial Reviews

Review
Praise for The Journey Home

“An impressively mature and wide-ranging book, both geographically and emotionally . . . Soulful and thoughtful.” –The New York Times Book Review

“Compelling . . . Akin to Thomas Mann . . . An astonishing story of confusion,
loss and denial.” –Chicago Sun-Times

“A novel lifted by love, friendship and cooking. [The protagonist’s] is a hard, unflinching life, and one skillfully revealed.” –Time

“[Olafsson’s] understatement allows the tragedy to build until it speaks finally
and devastatingly for itself.” –The New Yorker

Praise for Walking into the Night

“Olafsson, a tremendous talent, has written an unforgettable novel.”
–The Boston Globe

“A work of genuine art–so poignant, so thoughtful, so brilliantly conceived and constructed . . . This is the way books were meant to be written.”
–Chicago Tribune

“Quietly moving . . . An evocative tale of grief and hope.”
–The New York Times Book Review

From the Hardcover edition.

Book Description
From the acclaimed Icelandic author of Absolution, The Journey Home (now about to start filming under Liv Ullmann’s direction) and Walking into the Night: a haunting collection of thematically linked stories that encompasses the twelve months of a year, capturing the most candid moments between lovers, husbands and wives, parents and children–when truths and true feelings surge to the surface and everything changes.

Olaf Olafsson’s fans will recognize the perfect restraint and precision–and quick wit–with which he characteristically explores these dark epiphanies, when the heart is suddenly laid bare, whether by love or betrayal, disenchantment or regret, or the shock of loss. While their settings range from the East Coast to the West Coast, from Paris to Slovenia and Iceland, these contemporary stories probe the complexity of modern relationships over time. A wife realizes her closest confidante is much more than that. A father tries to make his new lover into the image of his late wife. A lusty photographer confronts his own mortality. A couple’s long-anticipated anniversary vacation opens onto the past. A husband, a wife, a child, a boating accident: no harm done . . . and yet?

Each of the twelve stories reveals another element in the agonizing nature of passion, diminished and yet sustained over time. This is a powerful work of fiction from one of our most gifted and subtle international writers at work today.

Valentine Legacy, The (Kindle Edition)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Refusing to marry James Wyndham, the man she has loved secretly for years, outspoken, naive Jessie Warfield escapes to England and the estate of James's cousins? and a life as a "nanny." However, when James comes to fetch her, a group of delightful meddlers make certain that they end up neatly married instead. Old secrets, a pirate's legacy, and a cast of wonderful characters are part of this funny, lively, and occasionally mysterious story that provides a satisfactory conclusion to Coulter's "Legacy" trilogy (The Wyndham Legacy, Putnam, 1994, and The Nightingale Legacy, Putnam, 1994.) Readers who enjoy this historical might also find those by Jo Beverley of interest. [Coulter lives in Mill Valley, Cal.]

From AudioFile
A quirky cast of characters adds spice to this rollicking tale of horseracing, lovemaking and adventure set in the early 1800's. The action shifts between Baltimore and Great Britain, providing Eleanor Swinden ample opportunity to introduce many speech patterns of the American colonists, the British landed gentry, their children and servants. As verbal barbs fly, it's easy to differentiate the feisty characters. The pitch and pacing of the children's voices are also captured. Swinden's presentation enhances the enjoyment of the book. C.W.

Hating Valentine's Day (Kindle Edition)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Rushby channels A Christmas Carol into this Valentine's Day tale about one Liv Hetherington, a single wedding photographer whose distaste for February's signature holiday prompts a spectral intervention-of the Dickensian kind. Though her father, her roommate and her boss all disapprove of Liv's no-time-for-dating lifestyle, this Valentine's Day our heroine is determined to lay low-that is, until she's visited by the Marley-esque ghost of a deceased co-worker. (A true horror for single women, Rushby's ethereal guide is an old lady who devotes all her affection to cats.) Thereafter, Liv greets a trio of ghostly visitors with little skepticism as they show her Valentine's Days past, present and future. Because Rushby narrates the novel from Liv's point of view, she often repeats the salient plot points several times: that Liv was abandoned by her ex-boyfriend, that she's living in dreams of the past, that her new suitor is genuinely a nice guy. The book's humor is similarly over-explained. When Cupid calls a woman's skirt "materially challenged," Liv repeats his observation a few sentences later: "her skirt's not quite as long as it could be." It's as if the author doesn't trust her readers to get her jokes or her narrative arguments. (She also hammers home the Dickens connection with frequent, heavy-handed references to the tale.) The repetitions drag down the book's momentum and smother much of its humor, dulling what might have otherwise been a clever remake of a classic tale of transformation and self-discovery.

From Booklist
Many singletons will likely find themselves sympathizing with wedding photographer Liv Hetherington, who can't stand cherubic cupids and blind dates. Liv is still recovering from being dumped two years ago by her boyfriend, Mike, who broke up with her on Valentine's Day to go back to his ex-wife. She is thankful when her friends and family decide that this year they won't try to set her up for the big day. Despite her reluctance, she may have found a man all on her own--Drew, a charming friend of her flatmate Justine. But Liv isn't sure she is ready to trust another guy after Mike, so enter the ghost of Liv's deceased coworker, Mrs. Batty-Smith, who tells Liv that she is going to be visited by three spirits, ghosts of Valentine's Day past, present, and future. Anyone familiar with Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol can probably guess where the story is going, but Rushby does offer a funny, charming twist on a well-known tale. Kristine Huntley

A Catered Valentine's Day (Kindle Edition)

Book Description
Cupid couldn't be any busier than caterers Bernadette and Libby Simmons on Valentine's Day. This year, a fund-raiser is taking up a lot of their time. And though love is in the air, so is murder... Bernie and Libby, owners of A Taste of Heaven, have plans to partner up with the Just Chocolate store for a taste-tempting Valentine's Day fundraiser featuring pairings of exotic chocolates, food, and wine, as well as a kissing booth, a fashion show, and a bachelor auction. And though Bernie isn't too happy about her boyfriend volunteering to be auctioned off, she's got too much on her plate to be jealous: one of the coolers is leaking; they need a new butter supplier, employees have relationship issues, and the mother of a very good client has died. Putting their preparations on hold, Bernie and Libby attend the funeral, only to be recruited to help solve a mystery. In an old cemetery-turned-lover's-lane, the body of Ted Gorman has been found in someone else's grave. The same Ted Gorman who supposedly died in a fiery car crash weeks earlier, leaving his body nearly unrecognizable. But though Libby and Bernie can easily tell that it's him, Libby knows there's something "off" about the body, though she can't put her finger on it. Ted was the owner-with his wife-of Just Chocolate. So now, as Bernie and Libby continue working with the grieving widow, they open up a mixed box of dark financial scandal, sticky family ties, bittersweet passion, and just desserts. And the chocolate-covered clues will lead to someone with blood on their hands_ A CATERED CHRISTMAS "Comical minor arguments, bitchy asides, cookie dependencies, and useful recipes keep this moving." -Library Journal "Quirky and fun_Not only is the mystery entertaining, it comes complete with mouth-watering recipes." -Romantic Times A CATERED WEDDING "The sisters' playful rivalry, clever dialogue and an eccentric supporting cast make for plenty of cozy fun." -Publishers Weekly "Frequent humor, a couple of little-old-lady Marxists, and several delicious recipes complete the cozy picture. Recommended for culinary mystery fans." -Library Journal A CATERED MURDER "[Crawford's] description of meals is so sensuous and evocative that you may find yourself putting the book down and wondering what's for dinner." -Contra Costa Times "Fast-paced and highly original."-Mystery News "Fans who love culinary mysteries are going to gain pounds after reading this delicious who-done-it...a very exciting debut mystery by an author who provides a moveable feast starring characters readers will care about." -I Love a Mystery "A naturally flowing narrative, lively and likable characters, and plenty of clever word play amid the foul play set this first novel above the common run of cozies." -Publishers Weekly
