4.0 out of 5 stars A darling of a book you won't put down, September 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Net of Jewels (Paperback)

Net of Jewels was the sixth Ellen Gilchrist I've read and again I was unable to put it down. Tales of Rhoda never cease to amaze me. Her self destructive tendancies lead to all sorts of on-goings and craziness. You will absolutly fall in love with her. Opening this book is like opening a bottle of good wine, you'll want to savor every last drop and share it with your closest friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars mesmerizing!, February 18, 2003

Jean Mauriello Germain (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Net of Jewels (Paperback)

Ellen Gilchrist is one of my favorite writers, Rhoda Manning is my favorite of her characters, and Net of Jewels is Ellen Gilchrist at her best. Rhoda Manning is her usual delightful, irresistable, impulsive self in this book. This captivating novel tells of her writing talent, her falling in love, marriage, children, and many painful and tragic events in between. I have read this book many times and endorse it wholeheartedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gilchrist Captures Dunleith AL, August 19, 2005

By 

Mike Davitt "Avid Reader" (Burke, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Net of Jewels (Paperback)

Gilchrist captures the feel of life in Dunleith AL the fictional town in Net of Jewels. I have lived in the real Alabama town that Dunleith was based on and was a personal friend of the individual the Charles William Waters character was based on. Net of Jewels takes me back to my days in Alabama, and my friend that she based Charles William Waters on. She got it right!!!
