I found this book and told Erin about it and it sounded interesting. She read some reviews of it and we got a little scared when they were saying "The Gargoyle is an Inferno for our time." But then her "other mom" Nicole sent her an email about it -
I am about to jump into a book by Andrew Dickenson called "The Gargoyle" have you heard of it? Apparently it's a first book by the author and he's added an interesting twist to it. It's a love/hate relationship between critics so I thought I would send it to the BEST critics, you know, those hot chicks from the "It's Only A Novel" site. Anyway - let me know if I should read it or color in it.
So after that Erin and I decided it was fate we HAD to read it. It does sound really different. I love me some romance, as you well know. Here is alittle snip it from the synopsis:
"A beautiful and compelling, but clearly unhinged, sculptress of gargoyles by the name of Marianne Engel appears at the foot of his bed and insists that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly injured mercenary and she was a nun and scribe in the famed monastery of Engelthal who nursed him back to health."
Sounds good, huh? Who is with us?

Thanks for putting this up for me! I just got an email that this is on hold for me at the library - I am half scared / half excited to start reading it!
I knew you were busy.
It should be an interesting one.
I'm in... Anything that Nic reads is fine with me....
(Hey, Nic! Lunch soon? :) "ptg")
I left a red lipstick kiss on the page I left off on. I let Ulaine take it because my bifocals are being repaired until she finishes it - I LOVED the way it starts - you can just 'see' his words. Thanks for giving it a whirl! I'm off to get my back tatooed.....
Hmm looks interesting!...i will have wait and see what everyone thinks of it first before i read it!...
Ohh and what did everyone think of the memory keepers daughter? I didn't read it yet...but saw it at target and was tempted to buy it!
I really enjoyed this book (thx to Nic for loaning it to me, but I never did find the lipstick kiss...) The author weaves a story that's down-to-earth and descriptive, yet otherworldly and impossible - you want to believe it's true. I hated to have it end. The author seamlessly goes back and forth from medieval Germany to present day and leaves you with lots to think about. I loved the romance of it all.
I'm anxious to hear what everyone else thought of "The Gargoyle".
