Description: Though not a bad tale, I was disappointed by Chevalier's latest, given how much I'veThough not a bad tale, I was disappointed by Chevalier's latest, given how much I've loved her best works. This one would compare with Fallen Angels for me, an interesting historical character piece, but one that either never found its full theme, or just did not click with me somehow. The story never seemed to move beyond being a series of happenings in the characters' lives or never made me see why I should care so much about them....

Description: In this, her first novel, Chevalier strikes a significantly more preternatural chord than herIn this, her first novel, Chevalier strikes a significantly more preternatural chord than her subsequent ventures in a dual-voiced narrative about a woman and her ancestors. The result is a decidedly rougher novel with less oil-painted historical ambiance and, perhaps, less grace as well. Those who find a bit of fanciful otherworldliness a welcome addition to another historical novel may enjoy The Virgin Blue more than some of Chevalier's more successful work. Others may see why the later novels are the more lauded. --EEB...
