Enemy Women, the outstanding first novel by poet Paulette Jiles, leads us into new terrain, both geographic and historical, in the war between the states. Set in the Missouri Ozarks during the Civil War, Jiles's story focuses on the trying times of 18-year-old heroine Adair Colley. When a group of renegade Union militiamen attacks the Colley home, stealing family possessions, burning everything down, and taking away her father--an apolitical judge--Adair gathers the remnants of her clothes and mounts a rescue effort. Unfortunately, she is falsely accused of being a Confederate spy, a charge that lands her in a squalid women's prison run by a decent commandant embarrassed by his post. After he helps her escape, the two agree to seek out one another after the war; their separate, harrowing journeys and the evolution of each character throughout make for breathtaking action and powerful writing. Each chapter of Enemy Women begins with excerpts from historical testimony about this terrible period in the Civil War, when marauding soldiers pillaged and murdered whole families and communities at will. These documents add depth and resonance to Jiles's remarkable narrative. --Tom Keogh
Book Description
From critically acclaimed, award-winning poet and memoirist Paulette Jiles comes a debut novel of startling power and savage beauty -- an extraordinary story of survival and love in the midst of a torn nation's bitter agony.
For the Colleys of southeastern Missouri, the War Between the States is a plague that threatens devastation despite the family's avowed neutrality. For eighteen-year-old Adair Colley, it is a nightmare seen at its most terrible on the day the Union Militia arrives to set her house on fire, driving her brother into hiding and dragging her widowed father away, beaten and bloodied. Left to care for two young sisters, Adair sees no road but the one that leads away, as they start out on foot into the winter mountains in search of a safe haven.
Even the least of hopes is doomed, however, in a world forever changed, as the treachery of a fellow traveler brings about Adair's arrest on charges of “enemy collaboration.” Torn from her terrified sisters, the girl suddenly finds herself consigned to a living hell, caged with the criminal and the deranged in a filthy women's prison in St. Louis.
But young Adair is sustained by a strong heart, and love can live even in a place of horror and despair. Her interrogator, a Union major, falls in love with her and she finds herself returning her feelings despite herself. The major vows to return for her when the fighting is over, and before he returns to war, he leaves her with a last precious gift: freedom.
Weakened in body but not in spirit, Adair must now travel alone through dangerous, unknown territory -- an escaped “enemy woman” surrounded by perils and misery on all sides.She makes her harrowing way south buoyed by a promise, seeking a home and a family that may be nothing more than a memory.
Based on a little known chapter in America's bloodiest epoch, Paulette Jiles's poignant, powerful, and exquisitely rendered novel about war's collateral victims is masterful work, captivating and authentic -- a lyrical, memorable tale of endurance and sacrifice that will stand alongside Cold Mountain and other classic Civil War era-set literature for decades to come.

A far cry from Gone with the Wind.......2007-09-05
Images of the Civil War have been burned into our collective mind since childhood history classes - either young boys fighting, brother against brother, or else gallant gentlemen paying court to hoop skirted gentile ladies as war pounds on in the background. This novel is not a story of those wars. The war on the frontier was a very different beast, and it's a story not often told. Jiles tells a captivating story of the dregs of the officer corps, sent to subdue states forced to fight in causes largely irrelevant to them (entire states in the frontier south held fewer slaves than single plantations in the coastal south). The "enemy women" in these frontier states did not face the chivalry of a gentlemanly officer corps. The men sent to guard them were barely officers and certainly not gentlemen. This book is a good story just as a work of fiction, but add to that how well it rounds out an incomplete image of the realities of our Civil War and it becomes a must read for any American History buff. Like Cold Mountain, this new generation of historical fiction that tells the small stories rather than aiming for the sweeping saga, really can place the reader in the footsteps of history.
The horror of war.......2007-08-31
I have been researching my family history and running into a dead end with the family of my Missouri great-grandfather. He ran a boarding house with his wife and their many children. After the war, he was living all alone as a boarder in that same boardinghouse, and some years later, remarried. My aunt's genealogy chart reads, "I never knew what happened to Absalom's first family," and that lost wife and those children continue to haunt me. I feel like this book is an answer to my quest to know about the many paths down which that family may have disappeared in the maelstrom of the guerrilla warfare in Missouri. Thank to Paulette Jiles for her scrupulous research and the telling images and dialogue that bring it all to life. A time of horror in our nation's past, that still is not fully healed.
It Should Have Won the Pulitzer Prize.......2007-06-13
Reading Enemy Women was a revelation on how a book should be crafted. From the depth of the characters (both major and minor), to the plot, to the wonderful description, to the pace... this book is truly wonderful. More than a love story (which it is), Enemy Women tells, for most, a forgotten history of the cruelty of war, when it seemed men and women killed, imprisoned, and brutalized because they had the power to do so. Against this backdrop is the story of one brave woman, who escapses from prison and makes her way back home against odds that would be honestly found in a war torn land. Nothing is over dramatized for effect. The story is told with a straightfoward, honest narrative. At first, it took some getting used to the fact that the author chose not to use quotation marks. But after the first twenty or so pages, I did not even notice they were missing. This is a brilliantly written book and that sense of wonder never leaves. It only grows as the story is unfolded by a truly remarkable and masterful story teller.

Enemy Women is one of those books that I wouldn't have just picked off the shelf and read, but I had to read it for school, so I did. There are a few things that didn't go with me in this book: 1.) there were no quotation marks , so I often had to reread a passage to understand what was happening, 2.) the story can often be slow and have long, boring passages between the interesting ones, mainly at the beginning, and 3.) I wasn't so big on the ambiguous ending. You don't really know what happens at the end! All in all, though, it was a book I reasonably enjoyed once I got to about chapter 10 or so. Then it began to get interesting. Even though it's not the greatest book ever, it's still something I recommend reading if you ever have spare time.
Collect Rocks @ LSMS.......2007-04-27
Enemy Women is very like a romance novel. Two people fall in love, they are separated by war, etc. etc. But it really tells a lot about what it was like during the Civil War, espacially in Missouri and the MidWest, with families being separated and their men going off to battle. It taught me what prisons were like for women during the war, and how hard it could be to survive in one. It is a very educational book, and if you ever get a chance to read it, you should.
Book Description
Almost before he knows it, Herman Broder, refugee and survivor of World War II, has three wives: Yadwiga, the Polish peasant who hid him from the Nazis; Masha , his beautiful and neurotic true love; and Tamara, his first wife, miraculously returned from the dead. Astonished by each new complication, and yet resigned to a life of evasion, Herman navigates a crowded, Yiddish New York with a sense of perpetually impending doom.

here is my review on this.......2007-03-26
In New York
The hotel staff
gave me the chair
that
Isaac B Singer
used to
lean his back against
years before he died
custom made
produced
out of gentle wings of butterflies
that circled his first wife's head
every day and night in Treblinka
before she finally
went
up in smoke
So
I went down at the front desk
A weird occurence
of
that strange and powerful thing
I certainly
wanted to bring to their attention
Of course they say
I. B. Singer
never stayed here
never had a first wife
nor she died in the concentration camp
But what's metter?
My back
feels better
way better
ever since
My first book by Singer and surely not the last.............2007-01-01
Isaac Bashevis Singer writes a novel of sheer absurdity and yet, page by page, he makes it very believable.
Herman Broder is a Jew who managed to escape the gas chambers of the Nazi Holocaust by living in a hayloft with his mother's servant Yadwiga from Poland for three years. His wife was not so lucky.....she and her children were all killed by the Nazis......at least that is what we (along with Herman) are led to believe early on. Herman manages to make it to the United States where he marries the peasant girl servant Yadwiga out of sheer gratitude for her saving his life, not out of any kind of a love or fondness for her. And while he is married to Yadwiga, he is carrying on an affair with Masha, who also went through her own camp horrors in Russia. Herman identifies more with her, not to mention the fact that an attraction also exists there, both physically and intellectually.
But just when you think the suspension of disbelief Singer creates cannot get any more bizarre, it does, when Tamara, his ex-wife, shows up in New York, after surviving the Nazis. Herman now has two and sometimes three women after him, and still he is unable to commit to any one of them. Singer creates a novel of absurd proportions, and then has the temerity to keep it growing! And the arrant brilliance in it is that it works on the reader to the very end.
Along the way the characters reveal thoughts which make one think more of a philosophical treatise than of a novel, a mark of a great writer and one of the reasons I could not put this book down:
"How peculiar that a panful of brains should be constantly wondering and not able to arrive at any conclusion! They were all silent: God, the stars, the dead. The creatures who did speak revealed nothing."
-Isaac Bashevis Singer, from the book "Enemies, A Love Story"
There are few writers such as Oscar Wilde to whom I can say they are unequivocally brilliant......Singer is certainly one of them.
Already Gone.......2006-12-21
How does one cope with such a thing? You know? The Holocaust.
It was the Holocaust that took Herman's parents, wife and two children. He manages to survive by hiding in a hayloft. For three long years, a former servant in his home, Yadwiga, a plain, uneducated but loving Polish woman, keeps him hidden and alive. After the war, we find Yadwiga and Herman married and living in Brooklyn. For other Holocaust survivors, Brooklyn represents opportunity, a sense of re-birth. All around him, new families are being formed out of what is left of old ones. Old customs are being renewed. The old prayers are said. Feasts are held. Traditions prevail. Life goes on. The future is hopeful, but not for Herman. Herman merely exists. He has a job as a ghost-writer for a famous rabbi. Herman is good at writing inspirational messages, messages of hope. But, Herman is not a believer. Not anymore. Not since the Holocaust. To Herman, God is either dead or an enemy. God is out to get him. Herman has a mistress, Masha, a camp survivor. His life is complicated. Then, as it turns out, his first wife who supposedly died in the camps, she's alive. Now Herman has two wives and a mistress. Complicated. They all want a piece of him. Emotionally, he retreats to the hayloft. But, emotionally, Herman is already dead, as dead as he would have been had he been found and sent to the camps, as dead as the rest of them, as dead as his faith in God. In the hayloft, minute by minute, day by dragging day, Herman was exterminated.
Nobel Prize Winners are few and far between.......2004-08-02
There are reasons that Isaac Bashevis Singer won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and all of these reasons are apparent in ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY.
Though he is not the only Jewish author to have won the Nobel, he is the only author whose primary writing was in Yiddish. Hence, the version of ENEMIES that I read was a translation.
Still, the simplicity of his prose shines through the novel. His storytelling skills are spellbinding.
Mr. Singer perfectly captures the undertone of desperation and doom connected with those who endured the Nazis and survived.
This novel will shock and it will sadden but it never will be less than writing at its finest.
Living with the unthinkable.......2004-07-28
Isaac Bashevis Singer was an idea novelist, in the way that Turgenev was. He fashioned his plots and characters around the questions he wanted to explore, and never let them get out of his control. But, like Turgenev, Singer was a great writer and never let his characters and plots become secondary. His writing is always entertaining as well as enlightening. Enemies, A Love Story is a case in point.
Herman Broder is a Jewish man living in New York City in the late 1940's, having survived the Holocaust in Poland hiding from the Nazis. Now the war is over, but Herman is no more at liberty than he was then. Believing his first wife died in a concentration camp, Herman has married again; he also has a mistress; to both women he lies about his work, and to his boss he lies about his women. Then his first wife shows up alive, and now he has to lie to her too. Herman is always on the verge of running, he must relentlessly cover his tracks in case he has to escape again. This sounds like a comedy of errors, and Singer finds the humor in Herman's plight, but he never loses sight of the tragedy which produced Herman's obsession with escape. This is a man so damaged that he can't really live anymore, and that's the question Singer is exploring with Enemies: is it possible to be whole again after going through the Holocaust? And if not, is it possible to live with the pieces that are left? Consider Vladek Spiegelman in Art Spiegelman's Maus, also a Holocaust survivor who only made it through sheer luck and a relentless hoarding and parceling out of otherwise mundane and unimportant items; now, though he's wealthy and free to do as he pleases, he can't stop hoarding, just in case.
Singer is asking, are the Jews who lived through Hitler's final solution dead, in their own way, like the victims who went into the ovens? What is there to do when you've lived through the unthinkable, and when so many people didn't? Enemies, A Love Story is a brilliant novel that grabs you by the mind as well as the heart.

YUK.......2005-11-29
THIS WAS 472 PAGES OF 'SHOULD I KEEP READING THIS OR NOT'?...IT WAS WRITTEN IN 1988 AND PERHAPS THAT IS WHY IT IS SO ACCEPTING OF THE BEAUTIFUL BUT DUMB BLONDE. OUR MACHO HERO, AT LEAST, 5 TIMES PER PAGE MENTIONED SHE WAS DUMB, ADDLE BRAINED, ETC.... IT WENT ON AND ON....IT WOULDN'T BE TOLERATED NOW....I BARELY TOLERATED IT THEN. BUT I FELT THAT IN FAIRNESS, SINCE I REVIEW ALL BOOKS THAT I READ, THAT I SHOULD FINISH IT AND SEE IF IT TURNED OUT BETTER. THE PRINT IS VERY SMALL, TOUGH FOR US OLD FOLKS; THE STORY LINE MEANDERS ALL OVER THE PLACE.AND THE "HERO" IS DEMEANING EVEN WHEN HE SUPPOSEDLY IS BEING NICE TO HER. YUKKKY....

This was one of the first romance novels I read and I've never forgotten it. It's one of my all-time favorites. I keep hoping the author will write a sequal about the secondary characters.

Book Description
In the overheated 1960s in the English town of Starbridge, young Venetia Flaxton edges closer to a love affair with Neville Aysgarth, who is Dean of the Cathedral and old enough to be her father. His hidden emotional past and her moral conflict in the present lead them deeper and deeper into the mysteries of the human heart and soul.
Customer Reviews:
Howatch does it again!.......2001-12-06
In the fourth of the Starbridge books Howatch does it again - she proves her amazing versatility as a writer of fiction by giving us a completely new character in a completely new voice and a completely new style. It never ceases to amaze me how Howatch, in each case, actually BECOMES the narrator! Whereas the elderly churchman Jon Darrow of Glamorous Powers (for instance) speaks in a rather conservative, upper class voice, Venetia is racy, witty, full of verve and charm, and it is easy to understand why poor Neville is completely besotted with her.
In this book we have the only female narrator in the entire series, and the only non-clergyman. Venetia is a rebellious society woman who discovers a completely new dimension to herself when she falls in love with her dear "Mr Dean" - Neville Ayesgarth, the married Dean of Starbridge Cathedral. He too is carried away and it is quite alarming how both of they live in a cloud of self-deception as to the nature of their relationship... and more than once while reading this book the Clinton-Lewinsky affair came to my mind - especially when the question arises as to whether or not they have technically committed adultery.
This story takes place in the 60's, and is the first in the second trilogy; the first trilogy was set in the 30's and 40's so now the three major protagonists of those books are a greta deal older. Mr Dean could be Venetia's father, and in fact his daughter is her best friend, which only adds to the delusion (mostly HIS) that the relationship is mainly spiritual in nature.
I feel that of all the Starbridge books, this one works as well as a stand-alone as part of a series, and for anyone who would like a taste of post-saga Howatch but is not quite decided whether or not to plunge into an entire six-book series, I would recommend this one. Another great book for our online discussion group!
Excellent, powerful themes.......2001-01-18
Though one need not be religious to enjoy Susan Howatch's work, a delight of her C of E series is that she is equal in gifts as novelist, theologian (with a Jungian flavour), and scholar. The integration of certain powerful themes is seamless with the "romance" plot, and thus painless for those without religious interests, yet, for those who have studied the spiritual life, the classic conflicts between faith and behaviour are placed into clear focus.
Neville Aysgarth is a classic study in self-deception - one of genuine faith, but blinded both by perceived personal needs and the desire to defend a Liberal Modernism credo. Susan Howatch brilliantly sets forth, in this character, how such conflict can not only justify behaviour one would insist was immoral with a clear vision, but glorify it by linking it to a supposed "higher ideal" which differs from the norm. The non-religious who thrive on characterisation will have ample food for thought in the depiction of Aysgarth's bizarre marriage.
Venetia, young, intelligent, and restless, provides the themes of the intense drives to find spiritual and sexual fulfillment. Though the reader is tempted to see from the beginning that Venetia's affair with Aysgarth is doomed to be a catastrophe, there is more to this than "love is blind" cliches. Aysgarth's intense personality, and brilliant (if flawed) integration of his self-deception with theological concepts, makes it both understandable and tragic that Venetia can both find the affair exciting and be led to believe that certain of its aspects are indicative of an extraordinary religious commitment and morality on Aysgarth's part.
The characters of Charles and Lyle Ashworth, the main characters in Glittering Images, are presented now as the long-married, wise "Rev and Mrs Bishop." Their involvement in the plot has a special dimension, showing that wise, considerate, mature advice, given with the best of intentions, often not only fails to divert misery but increases its impact.
This book's providing an engrossing tale (and, for all its bizarre turns, actually one less melodramatic than some others of the series) is enhanced by its giving one the food for thought that distinguishes the entire series.
May-December Affair Brilliantly Told!.......2001-01-05
Here I had just settled into the idea that the rest ofHowatch's "Church" books were going to be just 4 star reads,when I read this one, her very best. Told from the point of view ofVenetia, a 26 year old daughter of the aristocracy, we see her affairunfold with 60 year old Neville Aysgarth, the narrator of the lastbook, "Ultimate Prizes." This is a very different book fromthe other three. First, we have the feminine "I" tellingthe story whereas before it has always been a male minister or monk ofthe Anglican Church. Second, the time period shifts to the 1960s,when all bets on morality were temporarily off and were argued as suchamong Anglican theologians. One real-life book becomes the focus fordoing what you want as long as you do it with love, per a leadingAnglican bishop of the day...I was a basket case by the end of thisbook and that is the ultimate compliment. Had you given me thepremise of the book as I've written above, I doubt I would have evenread it, wondering why I'd want to read about a 26 year old and a 60year old. I'm so glad I'd made the commitment to read the whole seriesbecause this is one of the best novels I've ever read. Since thisbook packs an emotional wallop that far exceeds the first three booksin the series, and since it is the only one involving a femalenarrator, I can't help but wonder if some or all of it happened toHowatch herself.
Honest to God, truthful, and a good read.......2000-08-31
1963. Venetia Flaxton, twentysomething, from an agnostic aristocratic family has a passionate adulterous affair with Neville Asygarth, who is now Dean of Sarbridge Cathederal (In 'Ultimate Prizes' he was Archdeacon of Starbridge). Both use Robinson's 'Honest to God' has an excuse, that all are called to 'love' but this 'love' has serious repucussions that damage Asygarth's family even further, sends Venetia into a spiral of depression and addiction, and rocks the immediate Cathederal community.
It is also interesting to see the regulars again, albeit twenty years older. Charles Ashworth is now Bishop of Starbridge, and his two sons have interesting 'psyches' as Jon Darrow would put it. Jon Darrow himself is a retired 'hermit' following the death of his wife, his son Nicholas is psychic himself, but is also highly immature. The multi-faced expolation of the characters and their '3-D descrpitions of their personalities makes you eel that you know them, and you soon find yourself rooting for various individuals and even feel compassion and concern for those you dislike
A theological beach novel.......2000-08-30
Like all the books in Susan Howatch's Church of England series, "Scandalous Risks" has a page-turning plot and a good dose of romance and intrigue, while also being an exploration of 20th-century Anglican theology and spirituality. In this novel, the sexual tension is between a young woman and a married Anglican priest, and theologically, it's about a certain type of liberal theology (specifically, the 1960s book "Honest to God" by Bishop John Robinson) and its potential for misuse.
The six books in the series, plus "The Wonder Worker," which might as well be part of the series, move through the 20th century and have overlapping characters, but there's no need to read them in order. My favorites are this one, "Glamorous Powers," and "Absolute Truths."
