An Innocent, a Broad by Ann Leary
I was looking for something on BarnesandNoble.com recently when I noticed An Innocent, a Broad by Ann Leary. I knew Ann Leary and her husband, Denis, shortly before Denis hit it big because we lived in the same building on the Upper West Side. Ann and I bonded because we were both mothers of preemies, but while my daughter was five weeks premature, her son Jack was three months early. An Innocent, a Broad is her recollection of Jack's premature birth in London.
I enjoyed this book, and I'm reasonably sure I would have enjoyed it even if I hadn't previously known the author. Ann tells her story with both humor and the neurotic emotions that are a part of first time parenthood. This is a human story, and an entertaining one. And while the author is self-deprecating, Ann's humor and intelligence are evident in the writing. I found this to be an enjoyable read, and one that I recommend.

It also reminds me of JANE EYRE, as the two books both have young, not conventionally heroines who are alone and fall in love with older mysterious wealthy men. And of course both novels have beautiful dark women from the men's past who threaten to rui... [Read More]
