POSITIVELY BRILLIANT..........2007-08-26
This is simply a delicious book. It looks deep into the human heart, and what it discovers will keep the reader turning its pages. The narrator of the story is Barbara Covett, an unmarried school teacher in her sixties, the type who has never married, is set in her ways and opinions, and lives with her cat, to which she is devoted. She has a waspish, intense personality and is a highly intelligent, no nonsense sort of person who does not suffer fools gladly. She teaches at St. George's comprehensive school in London.
When a married pottery teacher with the improbable name of Bathsheba Hart joins the faculty, Barbara's interest is peaked by this seemingly fey, wispy and elegantly lean woman with a penchant for bohemian style clothing. Sheba (as she likes to be called) is as attractive as Barbara is unattractive. Sheba is also, as all soon discover, an ineffectual teacher unable to maintain discipline in her classroom. Still, with her posh accent, easy and relaxed, pleasant personality, she soon becomes a person of interest to those around her, including some of her students.
In fact, just as Sheba and Barbara start to become friends, Sheba is also embarking upon another relationship, one that is illicit, as it is with one of her students, fifteen year old Steven Connolly. It is, however, through Barbara's eyes that the affair unfolds, and in painting a picture of the events, she is, at the same time, painting a psychological portrait of both herself and Sheba, revealing the obsessive symbiosis that binds this unlikely pair in erstwhile friendship.
The author has created a masterful, exceedingly well-written novel, one that is thematically rich and complex. The author does this with a deft touch, as well as with humor. The characters are vividly drawn and the book is well-plotted, making for an immensely readable novel that the reader will find difficult to put down until the very last page is turned. Bravo!
Amazing book.......2007-08-23
This author is has such a gift for writing. I wasn't interested in the subject matter at all but then I couldn't put it down. Her style just flows and I can't wait until she writes another one.
The Class War Wages On.......2007-07-02
I don't know what to make of this beautifully written book. The plot device, stated clearly at the beginning, is that Sheba has told Barbara her story so many times and in so many different ways, that Barbara knows it better than she does (reminding me of Affliction, a story told by the brother of the main character).
The prose reminds me of Anita Brookner, but instead of taking the side of the hapless victim, we hear the voice of the predator for once.
My only question, is why Barbara, aptly named an incubus by Sheba's husband Richard, would want Sheba after sucking all of the juices out of her?
Why not go after fresher meat?
Entertaining.......2007-05-26
I like this book. It was purely entertaining. The author did not make any pretensions of trying to teach her readers anything. It just felt like someone was simply writing about some really good gossip.
Talk about a teacher's pet.......2007-04-10
As a high school teacher, I found this tale to be quite disturbing; it's a topic that many reviewers have already explored and critiqued, along with the motives of Sheba and Barbara. Beyond that, one must address Zoe Heller's writing style, which is simply intriguing. Her phrasing and word choice reveal that she truly has a gift with language. Her writing is exquisite and enticing through her unusual juxtapositions, imagery, and analogies. I have not seen the film, but can only imagine hearing Judi Dench speaking such mesmeric lines.

Customer Reviews:
See Film then Read Book.......2007-06-12
I saw the film two weeks ago and learned that it was an adaptation of this novel. The film was so good that I really had to read the book because the book usually has more insight into the characters. But this was not the case with this novel. The novel was good but left you with a feeling of incompleteness. The ending had to many dangling ends. The book did do a better job of defining Sheba than the film did and the novel was really much different in content that to see the film and to read the book are two different experiences. So, if you saw the film, by all means read this book.
Excellent reading.......2007-06-01
Delicious writing - very involving. I read it in two evenings. It makes you want to read the rest of her work.
I'm a bloke and I liked it.......2007-06-01
I ordered this book on the basis of its award nomination, having no idea of its subject matter. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and it won't be for those who like murder mysteries or thrillers - but I liked it from the beginning and by the end, I loved it. Zoe Heller has a real talent for character development, and manages to portray the self-denied loneliness of a sixty-something spinster/schoolteacher in a sensitive and non-condescending manner yet with a good deal of tragic humour as well. I must have completed two-thirds of the book before I realised that the central character wasn't the woman at the heart of the scandal, but her note-maker and grateful friend who tells the story itself. The personalities of both women are artfully and painstakingly developed, along with their working colleagues and families, and for this reason I strongly recommend Notes on a Scandal as an education for other writers on how to tell a story with characters who readers can totally believe in. An astute observation on the trials and tribulations of the lonely, this book deserves its prize nomination and gets my strong recommendation.
Smashing.......2007-05-13
Zoe Heller's first person narrative is simply the best of its kind. A smooth, richly textured, compelling read. Not since Michael Chabon's 'Wonder Boys' has there been such a highly entertaining and genuinely engrossing literary novel. Heller's command of the English language is unparalleled.
Very educational.......2007-03-05
I had some qualms about enjoying this because we are invited to laugh at, and to disapprove of, a villain, Barbara Covett, who suffers the stigmas of being elderly, female and unmarried. She is the first person narrator, what is known in the writing business as an unreliable narrator. She describes her attraction to Sheba, who is a fellow teacher in a chaotic English comprehensive (ages 11 to 18 year) school and who is having an affair with a fifteen year old male pupil. Although she is often made to sound ridiculous and unkind, Barbara Covett is given some good lines. When she acidly demolishes the pretensions and double-talk of unrealistic school administrators we (unless we are school administrators) want to stand up and cheer. Her struggles to comfort her dying cat, and her memories of her traumatic childhood are poignant. She takes over and manipulates the naïve impulsive Sheba and is responsible for her exposure and downfall. Neither of the pair is aware of any wrongdoing. It would be great book to give to anyone you wanted to dissuade from a career in teaching.

Sauscony of Skolia and Jaibriol of the Highton Aristos are truly star-crossed lovers: They are the heirs to interstellar empires that are implacable, age-old enemies. When they seek to save their secret relationship in an exile disguised as death, they disturb the delicate balance of power among Skolia, Aristo, and Earth. Interstellar war erupts, empires rise and fall, and it looks as though the Highton Aristos may recover first, with their dark lust for conquest intact.
The Radiant Seas follows the critically acclaimed novels Primary Inversion, Catch the Lightning (the 1997 Sapphire Award winner), and The Last Hawk as the fourth of a proposed seven novels in the Saga of the Skolian Empire, an exceptionally well-written and well-plotted series that mixes space opera, future history, hard SF, military SF, and romance. By internal chronology, The Radiant Seas is the direct sequel to Primary Inversion. It is also Catherine Asaro's most ambitious novel to date. Fans of the earlier books will find The Radiant Seas less focused on romantic aspects, and readers new to the series may find this novel starts slow, but the complex story is always clear and soon picks up speed. Hard SF fans will revel in the numerous brilliant ideas extrapolated from physics and genetics (the author is a physicist), while readers uninterested in science will find the novel unmarred by chunky speculative-science digressions. All will find The Radiant Seas bursting with fascinating characters and subplots, and will quickly discover they can't put the novel down. --Cynthia Ward
Book Description
Living in exile on a deserted planet, Sauscony and Jaibriol, each the heir to an interstellar empire, become entangled in the machinations of the Skolian Empire. Interstellar war erupts and Jaibriol is snatched away to be the unwilling ruler of the Highton Aristos. Sauscony must lead an invading space fleet to rescue him from his own Empire-without revealing that they are married. With much of interstellar civilization poised on the brink of destruction, it is the devotion of these two lovers, their sacrifices, and their heroism, that might just forge a new order.

Wonderful sci-fi book series........2006-12-25
Read 1, you'll want to read the rest. Great Sci-fi series. The family the stories are centered around grabs your attention & holds it from 1 book to the next. Read all of them!
Slightly disappointing, but decent .......2006-03-05
The Radiant Seas is not as incredible as its predecessor Primary Inversion, which I loved, but it was ok. For the most part, Asaro shows again that she is a skilled writer. It features fleshed out, interesting characters, an imaginative, well developed future universe with some interesting science/technology and a mostly smooth, pleasing writing style. So what's wrong with it? Well, the story is so big that a lot of things seem glossed over, for example the description of a space battle in the middle was cool but could have been better had it been explained with more depth. Also at the end a character we've barely met turns out to be the most important person in the book which I think mars the book's conclusion and makes it feel tacked on. And what is with the word "gentled"? As in, "his face/expression/voice etc gentled." That was used literally dozens of times in the book and I found it mildly irritating after awhile. Still, overall the book was reasonably entertaining and I will checking out another of Asaro's books, probably The Last Hawk, at some point.
Good read!.......2006-02-25
Good read--ties together several other books in the series if you have read them in random order.
It's a love story.......2005-11-19
This is the best Asaro book out of 4 or 5 I have read so far. Unique setting. The heroine Soz is a telepath-warrior who is also leader-heir to an interstellar kingdom called Skolia. Her husband Jaibriol is also a telepath and emperor of a rival kingdom. That kingdom Eube is ruled by anti-empaths who get pleasure torturing strong telepaths such as Soz and her husband. Jaibriol has lived his entire life hiding that fact from the anti-empaths. If they discover, he will be tortured. When the book starts Soz and Jaibriol live happily in exile on an unknown planet. However Eube discovers them and Jaibriol is taken back. To rescue Jaibriol, Soz must claim leadership of the Skolian Imperialate and become a warrior again. How she succeeds is the meat of the matter. When you read the book, you get the impression that it is a science fiction story featuring war between two rival interstellar empires. This is not a mistake. However what makes this book truly interesting is the human drama between Soz and Jaibriol; Soz and her brothers; Soz and her parents. I read the whole book in a single sitting. I was fascinated by the fantastic setting and the drama. I am now gathering as many Asaro books as possible.
The best in this series so far ***spoilers***.......2005-10-08
The Radiant Seas is the fourth installment in the Saga of the Skolian Empire and it takes off right with a bang where Primary Inversion left off.
Soz and Jaibriol II are on Prism-the planet they live on in exile from both of their respective, warring Empires. The novel breaks its time focusing on Jaibriol and Soz on Prism, Ur Qox-Jaibriol's father-the Emporer of Eube, and Soz's family on Skolia.
Soz and Jaibriol get to know each other, forge a relationship, build a house and start a family on Prism-which is what they eventually name the planet of their exile. They have both escaped their familial duties and never ending war by faking their deaths at the end of Primary Inversion. Their first born son-Jaibriol III (Jai) is followed by RocaLisa, Vitar and Kelric. They live an idyllic empathic-centered family filled with love, tenderness and support. Jai is about 16 when things change drastically over night. He has always realized that one day he will have to leave Prism, but he naively thinks he will find some wonderful woman, marry her and bring her back to live with his empathic family in total bliss. Sadly, as his mother is pregnant for the 5th time, his father is suddenly stolen by Eube who has managed to locate his father-now the Eubian Emporer-on Prism. Jai and his surviving siblings are taken to Earth where they are fostered by Seth Rockworth-the ex-husband of the Ruby Pharaoh, Dehya. As his father-Jaibriol II-assumes the Eubian throne as Emporer-under duress. His mother-Soz- returns to Skolia and assumes the role of Imperator left vacant by the death of her brother Kurj-who also killed Ur Qox-and the capture of her brother Althor by the Skolians.
As Jaibriol and Soz are setting up house-keeping on Prism, Kurj is taking stock and evaluating his life. He begins to see and express-in a very limited way-how his pursuit of the Eubians at all costs, as well as his early childhood trauma-involving the death of his "father" and the abuse of his mother at the hands of his step-father as well as the revelation that his beloved grandfather was actually his genetic father- have served to shape him into a less than ideal person. He marries his true love, fathers a child on her, apologizes to his mother and then is capptured by the Eubian Emporer Qox. Kurj manages to kill himself and destroy his ship with the Eubian Emporer on it.
Prior to Kurj's death, Althor-Soz's brother not Tina's husband from Catch The Lightening-finds some disturbing evidence that his sister Soz and Jaibriol II may not have died after all. He confronts his father and the truth of his sister's escape into exile with her Eubian husband is confirmed. Athor mourns for his sister and agrees to honor his father by keeping their secret. Then Althor is captured by the Eubians-they torture him for information which causes his brain to begin to erase all of the information it holds. It is harrowing to follow Althors decline, he eventually does not even know who he is-but before he slips that far he does give the information about Jaibriol II in exile on Prism.
Meanwhile, Soz returns to Skolia, assumes her role as Imperator and is on a mission to rescue her husband, pick up her kids and return her family to the relative safety of their self-imposed exile on Prism. Soz has to hide the identity of her children and husband from her family-difficult to do in a family of empaths. Soz is ultimately who I enjoyed the most about this book. Her single-minded pursuit of her husband against staggering odds-all while not being able to share her turmoil with a single soul in her family-not even her own mother. I never doubted for one instant that Soz would rescue Jaibriol.
This novel is fast-paced and enjoyable from begining to end. It is my favorite of the novels so far and is only passed or equaled by Moon Shadow's-the story of Jaibriol III's assumption of the Eubian Throne.

Unclear Audio.......2007-08-25
Unfortunatly, I had to return the collection due to the quality of the product. While the information is life transforming, the sound is very unclear. During Tolle's talks and meditations you hear coughing and even a wierd laugh from someone attending, every so often. I would highly recommend the CD of his book, The Power of Now. That is done professionally and worth every penny. The Audio Collection is the opposite. It's just thrown together and should be taken off the market and recorded again.
LOVE the Tolle cd's.......2007-04-02
This product is wonderful!!! It arrived very quickly and in excellent condition. I love Tolle's work and will purchase more of his cd's.
Simplifies What Once Appeared Complicated.......2006-09-30
When The Power of Now was first published, I couldn't get through it; I found it too cerebral. Then I listened to The Eckhart Tolle Audio Collection, a collection of his 3 audio bestsellers, and it all came together for me. After that, I quickly and easily read The Power of Now and his newest title, A New Earth. What an awakening! If you tend to learn better by listening than reading, check this audio collection out. It may just simplify what once appeared complicated. Eckhart is affecting world transformation with his teaching.
~ Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com editor
Essential Spiritual reading. A must have!.......2006-02-10
Echart Tolles CD collection was the next thing I bought after his book "The Power Of Now". The CD's are powerful because you get to hear the author speak and you gain much further insight into his work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! A new book that just came out that has inspired me to no end is "This School Called Planet Earth" by Summer Bacon.
Gurdjieff said it before Tolle did.......2004-11-02
I have the book The Power of Now, published by New World Library.
In the front, it says that the librafy of congress catalogued the book in in 1948. Perhaps this is a misprint. But even if it were supposed to be 1998, Namaste publishing shows it in 1997.
At any event, I have no quarrel with its contents, except that it has all been said before, by Gurdjieff who plagiarized it from still other authors centuries before him. Gurdjieff died in 1949.
This is old, old stuff.
Carlos Castenada said it all.
Yogananda Paramahansa said it all.
Literally thousands of men before Yogananda, said it all.. ad infinitum, ad nauseum..

Good Content.......2001-09-21
Although filled with very valuable information for anyone interested in collecting African American Art, I was looking for info on particular artist. I/E: James Denmark, Kadir Nelson, Alix Beaujour, Leroy Campbell,etc. These are just a few to give you an idea of what I was looking for. The book had great detailed info. I recommend this book to anyone...
A rare gem.......2001-06-07
If you have ever thought about purchasing a piece of art by an African American artist you should read this book. It is a rare gem. I met Ms. Taha at an opening some years ago at which time she told me she would be releasing this book, I had no idea it would be the treasure that it is. It is insightful, informative, beautifully illustrated, and gives you all the information needed to begin collecting art or to continue adding to your collection. Having a passion for art and the history of African American artist in this country, I want to thank Ms. Taha for encouring me to continue my pursuit for collecting and sharing much needed tools that will help me as I continue in this endeavor.
Two Thumbs up.......2001-02-13
Ms Taha hit the nail on the head. Anyone with an interest in African American Art, this book is a must buy. The Author, takes the reader step by step through the African American art Market. Any work presented in the work is a fine example of the work that a collector and or an art lover should own. Too often, collecting african american art is thought of as buying $50.00 posters and placing a $500.00 frame around the work. Ms Taha describes how African American Art is here for all and how one can begin the road to sucessful lover affair with ART. Please support this Author.
A much needed focus on our vital work........1999-06-05
This book is a wonderful addition to the library of African American Art History and a tremendous resource for both artist and collector. What an opportunity for the expansion of our work. Thanks, Halima. -Nadine LaFond, fine artist, Art Lives

Not Worth It........2001-06-13
Except for the picture on the cover, the photos are uninspiring and frequently ugly. The text is not very helpful.
It is "impossible to become Italian" , but you can try ..........2000-09-18
If you actually read this book and don't just glide, sighing and salivating, from one gorgeous photo to the next, you can understand the Italian character as well as the different Italian styles of living and decorating. The author tells us it is impossible to become Italian but she focuses immediately on the things Italians consider important: proportion, balance, smooth surfaces, natural materials, food, family (and not necessarily in that order...) and she also explains the many influences over the centuries (Greek, Roman, Ottoman, and more) and you learn a bit of History, Archeology, Art (and now I've made it sound stuffy and boring, and it is just the opposite!). She very, very wisely includes a whole chapter on "regional flavor" and points out the vast differences between the different regions (confuse a Neapolitan with a Venetian at your own peril) and their living styles. She gives wonderful explanations of the differences between loggias, porticoes and pergolas, shows ten kinds of pasta, four kinds of cheese, six ways to prepare coffee and even gives menu plans and recipes!
capture Italy and bring it home.......2000-02-03
The focus of this book is "creating the feeling of Italy in your home room by room". The author takes us on a tour of each of the major rooms of a typical home: the living room, the bedroom, the dining room, and the kitchen. In each section she goes into great detail about what the Italian style of decor is and how you can replicate that for your own home. The book is full of many colorful photos, which go a great way in helping to visualize what your home might look like. The book also helps to capture through side stories very aspects of Italian life ("warm and stylish homes, irresistible food, simple elegance of Italian entertaining") that make the thought of turning your interior into this type of theme all that more appealing. She talks about regional (Tuscany, Venice, etc) design influences and also a full chapter on food and wine. She also provides a list of resources from which you can find some of the materials that can turn your home into that dream Tuscan villa or Venetian apartment. If you are looking to remodel your dwelling and thinking that you want to be surrounded by the grace of Italian living then you should definitely check out this book.
Good book about the furnishings of the italian home.......1998-11-25
I enjoyed the book tremendously. If you're looking to furnish your home the Italian way, this is a good start. Gives lots of pictures.

A well-researched biography, a must for fans of Tet.......2002-02-17
Luisa Tetrazzini is arguably the most famous Italian soprano of the "Golden Age" of opera. Listen to any of her records, and the voice and style are utterly unique and immediately recognizable. That being said, she had a somewhat erratic career, singing here and there for almost twenty years before making it 'big' one little-promoted night in Covent Garden in 1907. From then on she became a celebrity, as well known for her singing as for her eating habits (yes, she loved food), her flamboyant personality, her disputes with managers, her husbands/lovers, her jewelry, etc.
Like many opera singers "Tet" had many rather unglamorous, not altogether 'proper' years as a singer (seems she ran away from her husband to pursue a singing career) and thus she talked about food, jewelry, dresses, anything except her personal history. For this reason information about who she really was and where she came from has been scant. Gattey's biography is well-researched, although even he cannot fill in all the holes. He mentions almost nothing of her childhood. How she felt about the many tumultuous events (and lovers) in her life and career is unknown also. Maybe she was one of those people who only really came alive when she sang. Like so many divas (Patti, Melba, Callas) there is indeed something artificial about her whole life -- despite all the lovers, husbands, managers, friends, colorful interviews, Tet never comes alive as a personality in this book. The pictures are poorly produced and disappointingly few.
Still, despite the reservations, fans of Tet (among which I count myself) will want this book just to know more about her life. Gattey's writing style is drily witty and as I said, very well researched. There is a discography, analysis of her recordings, and chronology of all her appearances. But for my money if you want to know what Tet is all about, buy one of her recordings.
