The Law of Similars: A Novel | 
It was 25 years ago this novel was published. Happy Silver Anniversary to THE LAW OF SIMILARS. The last lines? “And though some days it is very hard, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past.” @DoubledayBooks
“And those some days it is very difficult, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past.” — The very last line of this novel, published 20 years ago this month. Yup. Twenty years.
On this date in 1755, homeopathy founder Samuel Hahnemann was born. My novel, THE LAW OF SIMILARS, would not exist were it not for him. From the novel: “And though some days it is very hard, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past.”
It was 19 years ago this month that THE LAW OF SIMILARS was published. Not a round number, but still bronze. My deepest thanks to the team at Vintage Books, and everyone at @penguinrandomhouse . "And though some days it is very hard, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past."
I did not ride my bike today, but I did walk and write and solve problems with scenes in the novel I'm writing. #grateful #whyilovethe802 #amwriting #vermont @DoubledayBooks
Two great booksellers at a great bookstore: Eliza and Katie at @phoenixbooksvt in Burlington, VT. I am so appreciative of their faith in my work. Do you have a favorite? #books #grateful #whyilovethe802 @DoubledayBooks @Crownpublishing
"For almost two full years after my wife died, I slept with our daughter. Obviously, this wasn't Abby's idea (and I think, even if it were, as her father I'd insist now on taking responsibility). After all, she was only two when. . ." So begins THE LAW OF SIMILARS.
Homeopathy founder Samuel Hahnemann was born on this date. His diaries and journals figure prominently in this novel from 1999. The first sentence? "For almost two full years after my wife died, I slept with my daughter."
One more #throwbackthursday photo from another old issue of People Magazine I found in my library: my amazing Grace Experience and me at DisneyWorld. Thanks, People Magazine. Memories! @doubledaybooks
From an old issue of Mademoiselle Magazine I found cleaning my library. Look at how young we all were once upon a time. Who can guess the year?
When I was shopping for #cupidgoespostal, I managed to find a few books for myself! I buy anything I find by @ChrisBohjalian and Ian McEwan, because I always enjoy their work. And @Josie posted a bunch of great reviews for Tell the Wolves I'm Home, so I had to buy it. #bookstack #minihaul
Just started this one from one of my favorite authors. I am already wanting to spend a few hours with it! Looks like it will be another Bohjalian winner for me.
