An all-nighter
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I am very surprised at how quickly I became engrossed in Shawhan's novel. I had just finished reading another book before I picked up "Lizzie". My previous book was an exceptionally satisfying read and my evening was already drawing to a close. I don't usually embark on a new adventure when I have just finished one. I like to let the previous book soak into me for a while. But my curiosity about Shawhan's "Lizzie" was overwhelming. It took all my will power to not stay up and read it all night! I can't wait to get home this evening and pick it up again!
Lizzie is a haunting novel

Four months after reading "Lizzie", I am still thinking about this woman! Dorthy Shawhan has done a remarkable work of creating a living, breathing woman. I feel like I should make arrangements to call on Lizzie and see how she is getting along. Shawhan's craftsmanship as a researcher, writer and storyteller is superb. Here's hoping Shawhan has been busy writing us another wonderful book!
Lizzie--Faulkner cum feminism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
A fine example of Southern fiction, blending traditional and contemporary sentiments. As Lizzie's character develops she is increasingly compelling. Ms. Shawhan's use of multiple points of view is dazzling; setting the book in the matrix of twentieth century arts and letters adds both depth and texture. Highly recommended.
