Review
This gorgeous book will stir emotions you didn't know you had --Anne Jirsch author of Instant Intuition and The Future is Yours
Product Description
In Looking for Doris, Ellie Rose takes us by the hand and leads us through the front door of a house in North London into a compelling and unusual love story. Barely leaving the house, we walk with Ellie onto an invisible pilgrim's path and then discover through stories enfolded in stories, that the world travels with us. Layers of reality, from the sensual to the transcendent, gradually reveal themselves as Barbara Brown's exquisite prose draws us into the heart of the quest. Ellie's search becomes our own.

rich and delicious,
By
This review is from: Looking for Doris (Paperback)
exquisitely observed and poetically written. This novel set in N.W London, recounts a journey of love through relationships, friendships and particularly a journey in search of the self. There are some passages which leave you gasping as you recognise the truth of your own experience. Questions such as what are we here for are an implicit backdrop to the story. Its a book that is a treat to read.

Blissful Read,

This review is from: Looking for Doris (Paperback)
Brown's prose is sensual and intimate. Her narratives so beautifully and honestly describe the interiority of the soul and the human struggle with relationship - with ourselves and others. This is a book that reveals much and exposes the reader to themselves as well as the characters.

Keep This Book in Stock,
By rydersblok "rydersblok "Adele"" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Looking for Doris (Paperback)
Babara Brown's eloquent prose is like a colorful tapesty weaving the reader into an inner landscape of deep insight, romance, heartbreak and humour. She blends intrigue with wit, sadness with integrity and letting go of attachments without guilt. You'll want more of Ellie Rose as you enter her inner sanctum.

what a read!,
By Ms. E. Zahniser - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Looking for Doris (Paperback)
I love a novel that takes me out of my everyday life, and becomes a page-turner because I want to know what happens to characters that I have come to care about. This book does that. It also does much more. The main character is on a year away from work. While sorting out how to respond to her lover, what to do about the woman across the hall, and how to relate to her long-term best friend, she has taken this year out to dis-cover who she is underneath the surface of her personality.
The texture of peoples' lives and interactions portrayed here, shows that the author, herself, has been on this journey for some time. This book courageously and lightly deals with sexuality and spirituality, life and death. A must for every woman seeking her deepest truest nature.

Beyond the usual novel,
By W. Parfitt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Looking for Doris (Paperback)
Truly superb writing, great style, a flair with words, beautifully rich descriptions of the inner and outer world, this is not the sort of book I usually read but I was engaged throughout and couldn't put it down, and the ending (don't peek!) brought a sense of jubilation...
