He
had this to say about my novel You’ll never have me like you
want me:
Learned about 15 yrs ago
when asked by a major newspaper to write a book
review that I cannot do it. So here I am recommending a new novel. I’d
thought that Household Saints by Francine Prose was at a zenith. This
novel, for me, ranks as high. Ms. Prose had Madame Butterfly. Ms. Romano
has the Virgin Mary. I can say of her novel published this year that it’s as
close to me as a work of mine that I could never write. It is by a writer
I used to know who at least in this work goes places I have not. It takes
me by the hand. I bought my copy of You’ll never have me like you want me
by Rose Romano on Amazon.
