A Book in the Good Fight Series Bryce Morton needs a change of scenery. I also really liked the emotional depth given to Mac, and like that Roberts tends to go against the norm (or at least what’s considered more popular) by having her heroines dealing with trauma. While I’ve heard his type is a Roberts staple, I still felt there was something unique and likable about him, although this may be my inexperience with her work coming into play here. I love that he’s more on the geeky side, and a bit awkward. The book club friend who not only recommended this to me several times, but gifted me a copy among other Nora titles, noted that he’s exactly the type of hero I’d like, and she wasn’t wrong. I mostly picked this one up because of what I heard about the hero, Carter. Whether it is her best book ever is debatable, given how I haven’t read much from her due to a few negative experiences, but she is at the top of her game here, creating a story that not only has engaging leads with a compelling romance, but also the friendships that she also does incredibly well. Vision in White is arguably one of the best books I’ve read by Nora Roberts so far.

The movie follows him from his birth in 1932, in Dublin, until he's in his late 20s and meets a young nurse who will later marry him. But it's quite a foot, the way Brown has trained it - capable of typing, painting, and accomplishing many of life's daily tasks. Brown is almost completely paralyzed, able to move only his left foot. The hero of ``My left Foot'' is Christy Brown, a real-life writer and painter whose autobiography is the basis for the movie. This is partly because of its subject, and partly because of a remarkable performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, whose foot - and yes, the rest of him - is as eloquent as anything a movie has shown us in quite a while. `MY LEFT FOOT'' must be one of the year's least-promising movie titles, but the film behind it is surprisingly memorable. |
