Brambles on the Vine
Three great reads by Phyllis Pisano "LOOK FOR ME; in the western sky" "And the T'wain shall Meet" "Brambles on the Vine; Sequel" Brambles On The Vine continues the trials and tribulations of Ratty Gilbert and her family. Where are they all headed, she wonders? Will she and Thorton remain in their loveless marriage? What about her clandestine affair with Sonny, a crime boss in exile. Will their relationship stand the strain of the miles between them? Will Gabriella, the Sicilian wife of Vinny, ever give him a divorce so that he and Violet, Ratty's niece, get married and legitimize their baby, Cheri? And last, but not least, the realization that Mimi and her brother Joshua's relationship is totering. She struggles with Thorton's tragic loss; the attempt of the overtaking of the Followers, the organization founded by her family, by an unscrupulous gang and her own final loss. Struggle with them and their new found friends, Father Dominic, the Micks from Cork, Maggie, Sadie, Kathy and Rosie, friends of Vinny's mother, from Hell's Kitchen and of course, the loyal Marty Block, Sonny's lawyer and childhood friend.

A variety of contemporary families are described, and provocative questions are raised about families of the future.

Roman Literature, Gender and Reception
This cutting-edge collection of essays offers provocative studies of ancient history, literature, gender identifications and roles, and subsequent interpretations of the republican and imperial Roman past. The prose and poetry of Cicero and Petronius, Lucretius, Virgil, and Ovid receive fresh interpretations; pagan and Christian texts are re-examined from feminist and imaginative perspectives; genres of epic, didactic, and tragedy are re-examined; and subsequent uses and re-uses of the ancient heritage are probed with new attention: Shakespeare, Nineteenth Century American theater, and contemporary productions involving prisoners and veterans. Comprising nineteen essays collectively honoring the feminist Classical scholar Judith Hallett, this book will interest the Classical scholar, the ancient historian, the student of Reception Studies, and feminists interested in all periods. The authors from the United States, Britain, France and Switzerland are authorities in one or more of these fields and chapters range from the late Republic to the late Empire to the present.
