"It’s no secret that I love the game of golf. This is the story of an epic golf match held on one of the world's most fabled courses. But as much as it is a riveting account of a competition, it is also a probing work of history and sociology that uses golf as a window into a distinctive place and time."

"I’ll pick another one of my movies. It’s directed by Lee Chang-dong and it’s called Secret Sunshine. The matter of saving humanity — human salvation — that narrative was not told from a religious perspective. It was shown through humanity, the world where we live currently, through other humans. So I think the movie showed how we as people can truly be saved."

(3.5/5) This biographical, historical, women’s fiction novel is about the woman who loved the prolific Jack London, Charmian. Overshadowed by her famous husband, with her debut novel “The Secret Life of Mrs. London,” Rebecca Rosenberg brings her front and center. Take a look at my review of this novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/06/27/an-almost-famous-woman/

I read the Secret Circle novels after they announced the television series.
These books are alright, LJ's writing is so intensely readable, I still love it, after all these years.
The reason I think these two books are just ok was because I wasn't really a fan of the main character. If you like LJ Smith, this series is definitely readable.
