I've read <I>Palace of Tears</I> by the same author, but looking at the Amazon jacket for <I>Harem</I>, I don't think it's one I've ever seen before. <BR/><BR/>By googling I found that it's on <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0151015066/" REL="nofollow">this cover</A>, too (focusing on a specific part of the model's anatomy!).Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-37768794799933345782008-03-29T11:37:00.000-05:002008-03-29T11:37:00.000-05:00Hi Sarah, I could have sworn this piece of art wa...Hi Sarah,<BR/><BR/> I could have sworn this piece of art was used for the cover of VALIDE by Barbara Chase-Riboud, but it's not. However, when I was checking on Amazon, I saw another book that does use it: a nf title called HAREM: THE WORLD BEHIND THE VEIL by Alev Lytle Croutier. Maybe you saw that book somewhere?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-80662240372583824882008-03-27T12:27:00.000-05:002008-03-27T12:27:00.000-05:00Thanks!I'm staying at one of the convention hotels...Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I'm staying at one of the convention hotels (Holiday Inn on King), since that's required by the university. It looks like it's a few blocks' walk from the convention center.

Glad you're back. I was amazed at the re-used cover art. I am so 'stuck on stupid" I didn't even notice. Some of those books I own.

When I reread Jane-Emily as an adult, I discovered many nuances that passed me by when I first read it as an adolescent. I remember that line you quote very well.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-11583779284642109872008-03-22T18:20:00.000-05:002008-03-22T18:20:00.000-05:00I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!

I read a book when I was about 12 that was so wonderful that I had to keep reading it, even though I was sick at the time, and reading it made me feel sicker. I only remembered that it involved a reflecting ball, and a line to the effect, 'it was his wife that he loved and married, but it was the daughter that he created". Like I had in the past, I searched, 'book, relfecting ball, and daughter', and lo and behold....thank you so much. I can't wait to read "Jane-Emily" again and share it with my 12 yr. old daughter and 10 yr. old son. I never thought I'd find it again with so little information. I am speechless..but apparently not type-less. Thank you so much again!<BR/>TerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
