	Powell's Books - The Adventures of David Simple (Penguin Classics) by Sarah Fielding
		Fielding draws upon her own experiences as an impoverished, unmarried gentlewoman to portray her two heroines, Cynthia and Camilla, and infuses the novel with provocative feminist ideas as she makes a pointed critique of the position of women.
		Sarah Fielding (1710-1768), the sister of Henry Fielding, turned to writing to support herself financially.
		Following the literary model of Don Quixote, the novel is both a witty and engaging satire of eighteenth-century London life and a serious examination of the moral and social issues facing men and women of the day.

	My Mother's Island: A Novel
		The story that unfolds here is rich with secrets that are revealed in a fascinating mix of present-day events in Puerto Rico (the island of the title, where Sarah goes to care for her dying mother) and flashbacks to Sarah's complicated childhood with her unconventional parents.
		Coming to terms with the death of a parent is difficult enough, but when that parent--Sarah's mother, in this case--is the source of profound psychological trauma and pain, the road to understanding must be both rocky and rewarding for a daughter.
		The combination is riveting, and we come to admire and love this young woman for her courage and insight.

	Sarah Waters Affinity Reviewed by Serena Trowbridge
		Waters earned a certain amount of notoriety after Tipping the Velvet, particularly after it was televised in Britain, but this novel is less of a romp and more of a somber parade of unhappy lives searching for happiness.
		The novel has a particular value beyond the emotional, however, and that is Waters' preoccupation with the rise of feminism in Victorian Britain, and she states her case for this clearly without ever preaching or appearing to moralise.
		Her grasp of language is flawless, which serves to make her novels convincing as Victorian genre fiction.

	Review of Sarah Zettel's Fool's War
		Sarah Zettel's Fool's War, her second novel (after Reclamation), examines two of the classic science fiction questions: "What does it mean to be human?" and "What do we owe each other?" In doing so, she crafts a thoughtful, provacative, and eminately readable novel that deftly mixes plot, action, and character.
		Zettel is adept at exploring the book's themes without resorting to stilted polemics or long, boring discourses.
		We are also introduced to a seemingly important subplot involving crew interactions and the introduction of new members that, despite taking up a good portion of the book's beginning, never fully develops.

		In doing so, he plagarized Sarah Schulman's novel
		They refused to give Schulman even the smallest of royalties, 2.5%, which would have meant that with $2.5 million, one of the best novelists of our time would have been independently wealthy and writing more books for us to enjoy.
