An alternative title (though perhaps more apt considering the connotations that could be attached to "Isle of Woman") for this story could have been "Civilization" because the book reads like a game of "Sid Meier's Civilization", inspiring thoughts of times long gone and placing the reader firmly within them.
The book chronicles the life of a collection of individuals drawn from the same family as if they, like the book were passing through history from humanity's birth in Africa to shortly beyond our own present time. It does this in a remarkably simple yet effective way and at no point did I find the book confusing or difficult to read.
"Isle of Woman" jumps through time as if the reader were a time-traveller themselves, ... Read More:

This is an exquisite adorable tale of a theatre troupe travelling England in the first half of the twentieth century. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a soppy sentimental book, what I mean by my adjectives is merely that each character is so beautifully carved that they leap off the page and into your heart the instant you read of them. Again that sounds far more hideous than it is, in reality this is a nice book, one in which you truly wish each and every character well, and hold your breath in case anything nasty should befall them, but don't worry as in the best theatre traditions it'll all be alright on the night. Although very long I'm sure by the last page you will be wishing it was twice the length. In my opinion this book was Priestley's finest hour.

Teresa Medeiros has written books about every period in Hstorical Romance from Westerns to Regency to Faerytales. But one of my favorites is Shadows and Lace. Sorry, a well-written Medieval tale always captures my imagination. I read this book when it first came out, and just re-read it again, and found I was as thrilled the second time around. Maybe more so since you see so few TRUE Historical Romance currently being done. If you are hungry for a strong Medieval tale don't hesitate to snatch this one up. It will make a Medeiros fan out of you if you aren't already.

"Burning Water" is the story of police man Mark, who works on a murder case in Dallas that isn't covered in the police manual. Being sensitive himself, he calls in old-friend Di, a veritable witch with remarkable investigative and magical skills. The case involves the untimely and grusome deaths, including flaying of a number of people - in something had has connection to Aztec gods.
"Burning Water" is quick, thrilling read, but I don't think I'll remember the story in detail in a couple of months. What I will remember is the excellent description of magic. The practiced magic truly leaves the pages and becomes real. (Well, you get my drift!)
This is a great novel for any time when you want something light and enjoyable.
"The Power of Myth" was a series on PBS where Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell explored myth through various archetypes. The importance of myth is explored in terms of comparative mythology and the place of myth in current times. Bill Moyers, a prominent American journalist, is an engaging interviewer and Joseph Campbell is lucid in his explanations. Both of them are a brilliant combination, offering intelligence and wit. A great book for anyone interested in Joseph Campbell, myths, archetypes and symbols from a comparative framework.
