One of my flist just mentioned she's enjoying a novel(etta) about Margaret Cavendish:

:-)

I read it a couple of months ago--I can't remember if I posted about it or not. I enjoyed the first half and how well and compellingly it presented the tumultuousness of her life in war time and exile, but the second half, not as much. The author reads MC as quite a bit off her rocker in the latter part of her life, and as a staunch Cavendish partisan, I take issue with that portrayal of her. (-:

I would be interested in what your flistie has to say about it when she's done.

Lovely mermaid art and adorable kitty! The mermaid artwork is, oh damn the name of the artist is on the tip of my tongue--famous African American illustrator I think.

Happy Birthday, Claudia!

The Dillons. :-)

The beginning is here and in comments but there isn't much:
