review 1: So the rationalisation began : I had to read a book with the name "Jane" in the author/title wording. Considered Ms Austen but I'd been there and done that, and anyway a new author is good for me and seems to be a central credo of the SRC. Calamity Jayne had a Y in it so she was out. Trying to find something out of my usual buckswashlingreading so I did my usual and title-searched for a literary name and an author with a Jane attached to her. Found it - Shakespeare / Jane Tara: I started off dubiously. Psychic weather girl. Possible or not ? Disbelief suspended I ploughed on. Reading getting easier and easier. Yes perhaps derivative. Yes perhaps sentimental. But I was sailing now. Feisty redhead. Sensitive man. Matchmaking all round. Family problems. Health problems all be... moreing sorted. As with the majority of romance literature (I HATE the Ch**k L*t term; very demeaning! for a hardened feminist like me) questions are being answered. Girl meets Boy. Girl loses Boy. [Spoiler Alert = hiding the next bit] (**********************) and of course expectations are met. The strange thing is I enjoyed the book. I admit I am open-minded so the new-age stuff created in me optimism rather than the disbelief/ridicule route but many reviewers will dismiss the book. I was surprised by my reaction to the predictability of the series concept. Lured by the Shakespeare name, remembering Virginia's Woolf's Room of My Own. Even the vague musical memory of Shakespeares Sister tinkling in the background somewhere. I figure you read these books this feelgood option is the total aim. If the book makes you wonder about life after death or reiki or acupuncture Where's the harm in it. Fluffy Chris reckoned the book did exactly what it said on the tin. Very acceptable.
review 2: This is a light funny romance about three generations of Shakespeare women who have magical talents. Rowena can unfailingly predict the weather, and gets a job as a TV weatherman when the station needs a temporary replacement. Her other gift is in her kiss - one kiss will tell her who a man is destined to be with, and so far, none have been destined for her. Will she find her one true love? Rowena's mother and grandmother also add their own bits of magic to the story. less
