Have any of you read The Sparrow and/or Children of God? I thought they were quite good. Actually, they made me a bit intimidated. I'm trying to portray some new and interesting cultures in a story I'm writing at the moment, but I don't think I could do nearly as good a job as she has done. I suppose that's due in part to the fact that she was trained as an anthropologist.
I also really appreciated the fact that even though the stories were a bit graphic in places, there was a reason for that and it worked.
Anyone else read these books?

I loved those books.
Have you read A THREAD OF GRACE which is her most recent book?

No, I'll have to go pick it up.

Be warned that it isn't science fiction or fantasy. It's straight historical. But it's as well-written as her other books, with characters just as interesting.

No problem for me. I love good writing, regardless of genre.
