I am 2/3 through The 19th Wife. Already recommended it to many like-minded friends, all of us are spinning and screaming and thrashing with outrage at the shameful behavior of the Firsts. I wish this book would go on forever - it's so well written, well paced and enlightening, oh so enlightening.

Hi,
I just wanted tell you how much I enjoyed "The Danish Girl". The flow of identity from Einar to Lili was intriguing and it was interesting to see transsexualism portrayed through something other than the modern ideas on gender identity. Anyway, I thought the book was wonderful and I can't wait to get my hands on the "19th Wife"! ~Kate

Hi David,

Just got my hands on a copy of the rose city, can't wait to get into it. Just now from your author page saw what The Danish Girl is about and can't wait to get my hands on that too.

Warmly,
EF

Hi David,

Just read through your Author Chat here on LT and wanted to say that I'm now looking forward more than ever to reading The 19th Wife. I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy it.

Best wishes,
Avis

"To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.
This is to have succeeded."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Not only did I love "The 19th Wife," but you were dead on with your recommendation on Planet Books Blog for "American Wife." I was much more confident to read the ARC I had after reading how much you liked it and now I'm very glad, because I thought it was fantastic.

Thanks for writing "The 19th Wife". At the risk of sounding sycophantic, the book astonished me -- much in the same way that "The Corrections" did back when it came out. I wish it all the best, the book deserves to go far.
