Book Description
In the tradition of Roddy Doyle's The Woman Who Walked Into Doors comes a brilliant feat of literary ventriloquism, a debut novel by a male author introducing a one-of-a-kind female narrator.
Meet Mary Nolan (née Marelli), a tough-talking Jersey City native who comes of age during the turbulent 1970s. Adored by the small-time mafia types in her extended Italian American family–formidable but doting figures like her grandpa Louie, Tony the Horse, and Charlie Cuppacoffee–Mary grew up believing she could always count on men to protect her. But after marrying young to escape her parents, Mary finds herself sidelined by life with a philandering husband and two needy young sons, her dreams as shattered as the city around her.
By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Mary tells of her unusual route to independence, and about the lives she touches–and is touched by–along the way. From Aunt Dot and Aunt Loretta, who get her started in "business," to the ex-nuns who listen to her troubles even as they ask her for relationship advice, to the nosy neighborhood housewives determined to befriend her, Mary finds allies in the unlikeliest of places. How she learns to stand on her own "legitimately"–triumphantly–is the heart of Bill Gordon's remarkable first novel.
From the Hardcover edition.

MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY.......2007-07-09
MARY AFTER ALL
I liked this book; however, it is not one I will think about forever or recommend to friends/family. I will probably forget it as soon as I am done writing this review.
Meet Mary Nolan who grows up in New Jersey during the 70's. She has an Italian family that goes beyond her parents, such as aunts, uncles, friends, and so forth. Mary has a good life; however, nothing in her life is perfect, but hey, whose life is perfect?! We wish!
Mary's dad is NEVER home: he works, plays in a band, and has a girl friend. Her mom, resentful and angry at her father, keeps Mary under her thumb. All through Mary's childhood and teenage years, her Mom tries to keep her home with her. Then Mary's mom becomes ill and Mary really has to stay home. However, this illness is the convenient type of illness -- even though she was truly ill, she feels bad when she wants/needs to and good when she wants/needs to.
Mary meets Bobby and they marry young. Mary's mom still doesn't want to let her go and Mary's dad doesn't want to deal with Mary's mom, so you can guess that Mary's marriage becomes a threesome.
Life throws some hard knocks Mary's way and we travel with her through her marriage, children, friends, family. Mary starts to become a stronger woman and takes matters into her own hands.
I did enjoy this book as stated above, but I could see where it was headed and I felt it was quite predictable. Mary was the typical norm of a woman in a book such as this -- a young woman who doesn't stand up for herself, meek and mild, not wanting to make waves, and then slowly but surely she stands up for herself, takes charge and becomes super woman.
I felt the characters were shallow except for Mary, Bobby, and Mary's mom. I felt this book could have been much better, but just never made it there.
Thank you!

Mary After All: A Novel.......2006-08-30
I was assigned this book to read for my book club. I could not recommend it to discriminating readers of literature. However, I notice that it seems to be selling well, so my opinion is probably a minority report.
most enjoyable read!.......2006-06-13
MARY AFTER ALL - a most enjoyable read. I loved the character, descriptions, attitude of Mary - definitely not a contrary lass - and could identify with her wholly; call me a FEMINIST? I don't know - but I am most surely for one being self-made, determined, responsible, etc. etc. but/and wanting to live life to the optimum, of course without treading on the next man's/woman's feet -ouch!! I loved the neighborhood scene, the people who live there and make it a 'heimish' venue, with their
particular quirks...that word should read HAMISH (but it does not refer to the folk who live up the mtn.side in the States) and is an excellent Yiddish word, desceptively invoking scenes of home, homestead, home of warmth, and togetherness...AND all that goes with those 'little' conflicts, bumps between folk.
Poignant tale.......2006-06-07
MARY AFTER ALL is a poignant and richly told fictional memoir
of a woman from Jersey City. Mary could be from anywhere or any country. I have friends in Israel who enjoyed and related to Mary's story. MARY is a real page turner and I absolutely reccommend packing a copy of MARY for the beach this summer!
Potential, but falls flat.......2006-03-19
I don't know what I was expecting out of this story, but this wasn't it. There is lots of potential for a great story, but it just falls flat. While the people in Mary's life are interesting, her life is not. You learn just enough about her family and friends to know who they are, but that's it.
There was absolutely nothing to keep me interest in this book.

Another intriguing couple.......2005-03-13
Dunstan and Leila are opposites in so many ways -- enough so that one might wonder how long the happiness will last -- but their doubts and uncertainties cause them to see beyond their differences. Because she is Dunstan's employer and is accepted in society, Leila often has the upper hand. But Dunstan's acceptance and encouragement of her Malcolm gifts frees Leila to be the woman she desires to be.
Leila can be a bit manipulative, but she has used her looks, her social skills, and, at times unwittingly, her magical abilities to secure her acceptance in society and eventually to aid Dunstan. He, on the other hand, comes across as gruff and unsociable, but his heart is sensitive and noble. The inner people are much better matched than the outer ones. The mystery of his wife's murder is kept at an interesting level and does not overshadow the romance. Leila's difficulty in discovering and harnessing her unique gift is a highlight of this book.
Outstanding Character Development in an Awesome Series.......2004-06-06
Setting - England, 1753 ---- Lady Leila `Malcolm' Staines has always felt like the odd-man out when it came to her family because as far as she could see, she didn't seem to have any discernible special `gifts' like the other Malcolm women did. Now that she was a widow, she finally felt the freedom to do as she wished, to make her mark so to speak. She did have a gift though, that of a wonderful `nose' and she wanted to create scents that would be totally unique by growing and crossbreeding flowers. In order to expand upon this plan she needed the expertise of the greatest agronomist in England, Dunstan Ives. Because historically, Malcolm women and Ives men mix like oil and water - convincing the very angry and volatile Dunstan would take a minor miracle. When they both met though, it wasn't only Leila who experienced an olfactory scent of pure lust but Dunstan as well. With Dunstan trying to curb any type of involvement with women since the murder of his wife Celia - a murder most thought he committed - he was determined to stay away. Circumstances changed and badly needing not only the money, but a job, and land to plant his experimental seeds on, he negotiates a deal with Lady Leila. For Leila, to become involved with Dunstan or marry, she would lose her long sought independence. But, would that be so bad as over the course of time both would succumb to the lusty feelings they inspired in one another and as they began to grow their individual crops - his turnips, her flowers - they each began to see and respect each other for their individual uniqueness and the trust and respect each earned for one another turned into a most marvelous love story.
This was another fabulous story featuring more of the marvelous Malcolm/Ives families that is a pure joy to read. Yes, there is a bit of magic that some might think of as cataloging this book as a paranormal but don't be turned off by this as it is so much more. Dunstan and Leila are both terrific characters who grow into each other. The confusion Dunstan felt as he was attracted to two different women (Leila and Lily) until he discovered they were one and the same; his undeniable love for his son Griffith; and his total support of Leila as she experimented with her `gift'; right up to the final realization that for the sake of those he loved he must clear his name in order to be able to have some kind of a life was a wonderfully drawn portrayal. Outstanding character development! Both Leila and Dunstan are unique and marvelous characters and their respective families are a total delight... Fans of Ms. Rice will surely not be disappointed in this brilliant and refreshing series. ---- Marilyn Rondeau, Official Reviewer for www.historicromancewriters.com ---
a 'magical' read.......2002-11-06
In my opinion, Patricia Rice's "Must Be Magic" is a must read. The story is a charming one and whimsical one that is bound to engage. However, it is, I must own, not a perfect book, and has it's share of what I call 'plot niggles.'
For example, it takes forever for Dunstan to acknowledge that he needs help in trying to discover who actually murdered his faithless wife and to establish his innocence. His pigheadedness on this issue was a little trying. And I also found it very hard to believe that it took him so long to figure out that Leila and Lily were one and the same woman -- this was one plot gambit that did not really work for me. I think it would have made for far more interesting reading if both Dunstan and the reader got to see the 'two' different Leilas from the very beginning, so that we could all enjoy the contrast between the intelligent and vibrant Leila who was willing to work in the fields in order to realise her dreams, and the sultry drawing room Leila, who used her feminine charms to manipulate people and keep them at a distance.
I was also curious about certain circumstances surrounding the Malcolm family. The Malcolms are an old Scottish family, renowned for producing female children who happen to be gifted with certain magical abilities. The Malcolms are also renowned for making advantageous marriages that further the family's fortunes. And yet, while the inference is that nearly every single marriage seems to have been a happy one, none of the Malcolm women seem to have married for love -- save the heroine of "Merely Magic," Nininan. I really wished that Patricia Rice had gone into (a little) what these other Malcolm women must have felt or thought about the whole concept of love, and marriage without love. She does do this with the heroine of "Must Be Magic," Leila. But even then what we know is that Leila married in order to promote her family's interests, that her mother has some feeling of love and affection for her father, and that even she (Leila) feels leery about counseling her younger sisters to seek only love matches. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I was curious as to why a family women with magical gifts would place advantageous marriages over love matches, and would have liked the authour to have delved into this matter a little more.
On the other hand, however, "Must Be Magic" does indeed boast of possessing two very strong, memorable and engaging characters: Leila and Dunstan. When Leila's character was first introduced, I will admit that while I did feel for her because she felt so alienated and had such a low self esteem problem, I did not really take to her -- she was a little too manipulative for my taste. And while I understood why she used her beauty and her feminine allure to get things, I did not admire this trait in her at all. But as the novel progressed, so too did my sympathies for her grow. And in no time at all, I found myself rooting for her to find her hidden talents/magical gift, and to nab the man she believed was her soul mate. Leila, is the kind of full bodied multifaceted heroines that one wishes were more the norm rather than the exception. As for Dunstan, once I got past his foolish stubbornness and his tendency to glower all the time, there was much to admire and feel empathetic for. It's not every romance hero who as to deal with an alienated son, a murder rap and a strong-minded woman who's out to help you whether you want it or not!
Story-wise, things moved along smoothly enough while Leila and Dunstan were in the country, busy with their planting schemes and trying to thwart the machinations of Leila's nephew-in-law and his cohorts. Once the story moved to London, however, the book did loose its focus. There was a sudden addition in the cast as all sorts of Ives and Malcolm relatives came out of the woodwork in order to help Dunstan clear his name, and there even was a small subplot involving a certain Malcolm-Ives potential pairing -- probably the hinting of future Magic book at a later date. I, however, just wanted the mystery of who killed Duncan's wife to be cleared up --I already had my suspicions and wanted to know if I was right!
On the whole, "Must be Magic" was a truly fun read. It's not a book without flaws, but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless. and if you're looking for something little different, this should definitely satisfy.
Excellent reading!.......2002-09-24
Though her gifts are not magical, and in a family of witches that makes her ever so slightly the outcast all her life, Leila Staines makes her own magic with the perfumes she derives from flowers. To help her get her business going, she hires rouge and accused murderer Dunstan Ives, a member of a family that has long feuded with hers, to help her grow the best flowers. Though Dunstan is a farmer at heart, he desperately needs the money, so he agrees to grow useless flowers and work for a woman with three strikes against her already in his book, a lady, a beauty, and a Staines.
Enemies or not, they find themselves attracted beyond what they should be. Dunstan helps her in more ways than with her flowers, and eventually, using a ruse, Leila is able to make him see the true woman she is, and they succomb to their true feelings. Now, they have two quests, to make Leila a success, and to clear Dunstan of murdering his wife, if not for his own sake, for the sake of his son and the child Leila may carry. Pride will have to be put aside as he must use the powers of Leila's family to prevent his hanging and learn the truth.
***** If you shy from paranormals, do not be concerned that this is not a book for you. Witchery is only a minor aspect of this unusual novel. Leila is a refreshing heroine, as Ms. Rice's usually are, and Dunstan fits the gothic, brooding hero model. However, their unique role reversal is one that may appeal to the modern woman, with Leila being the one in power. It is also unusual to see a farmer as a hero of an English set story. The Staines family is delightful, and the scenes with Dunstan's son touching. Not the same old thing, this book will not in any way disappoint old or new fans of Ms. Rice. *****

engaging historical romance with a pinch of witchcraft.......2002-08-17
All her life Lady Leila Staines has felt like an adopted outsider as the only member of the Malcolm women without any magical abilities. Even her hair is not the dark color that every other Malcolm female has. Still, she has done her part by marrying to improve the family fortune.
With her husband dead, she controls the Staines estate as long she lives and never remarries. Leila wants to grow flowers that she can convert into perfumes as she feels she has a nose for this business. However, she needs a land usage expert and turns to agronomist Dunstan Ives, though he is considered a wife killer and her own mother warned her that Ives males are bad news for Malcolm females. Reluctantly, the landless Dunstan accepts her offer though he wants nothing to do with any woman, but especially those bewitching Malcolms. However, he berates himself for desiring Leila and another lass who looks like her (because of his stereotyping he refuses to realize that his two dreams are one in the same) even as he struggles to learn whom killed his wife.
MUST BE MAGIC is an engaging historical romance that uses a pinch of witchcraft to spice up a tale with a rarely seen uniqueness. The story line mesmerizes the audience as Leila struggles with her "handicap" and her desire to belong while Malcolm battles between desire and not wanting to be burned again. Fans will believe that Patricia Rice must be magical as she spellbinds her audience with a one sitting fun novel.

I want this kind of Magic!!.......2007-08-21
Lili Goodweather lived a normal life, working at a flower shop, riding her bike,and had cats for pets.Did I mention that she could carry on a conversation with her furry friends? Lili had a gift for communicating with animals by seeing the images in their minds and translating them into words in her mind.
Erika Rutland, Lili's neighbor visits one afternoon to see if Lili can find out what is bothering Fluffy, Erika's cat. Taken aback, Lili discovers that Fluffy witnessed a murder in the woods surrounding their homes. Lili could not tell Erika the truth so she decided to tell a little white lie to get her by, no harm done...yet.
Tanner Rutland wanted Lili from the first moment he laid eyes on her. She was not just a casual sex kind of girl in his book. She was everything he ever wanted, but she was a little on the strange side; talking to animals and such. One kiss and he was hooked, he would go to the moon and back for this woman. He still had not fully gotten over the death of his wife, but when he met Lili it became a little easier to move on.
Tanner discovered the body in the woods, now the big question was; what was Lili hiding from him? Thoughts began running through his head, could she have committed the murder and then made up the story about Fluffy seeing it, did she stumble upon the body while taking a walk? He honestly did not believe she could talk to animals but every time he went to confront her, he became weak with want for her.
Can Mr. Levelheaded logical man see the truth in Lili's gift? Will Erika ever get the mother she is pining for? What is crazy Ms. Dreadlock's meaning to God will punish you? So many questions that need answers, but you must read this book to find out.
Ms. Skully has magically written a wonderful romance story that will warm your heart. This story border lines on erotica but is very tastefully written. Her characters were easy to fall in love with, and the whole story line just keeps you wondering what will be coming next. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a little Magic in life. 5 hearts for It Must Be Magic by Jennifer Skully
Talking Cats and Love That Go Together (B Grade).......2007-08-16
Lili is special because she can actually talk to cats, or envision what they are saying through pictures. Even though she has this skill, she is a very normal girl from working in a florist shop and taking care of eight cats of her own. (She is not a scary cat lady. But owns all these cats because they were willed to her by the lady who gave her the cats and the house she lives in now)
A precocious twelve-year old comes to her because her own cat seems to be out of sorts. Lili figures out that the cat saw a murder and is scared. But how will Lili tell the sheriff because he will think she is this crazy cat lady who talks to cats!
Erika (the twelve-year old) has a father, Tanner who is a no nonsense type of guy. But when he sees Lili and they begin having these interesting conversations about murder and talking cats, he falls for her, even though he doesn't believe Lili and possibly thinks she maybe behind the whole thing. But hey, he loves her hair and the way she looks in her clothes, so what if she maybe a little off because she thinks she can talk to animals?
Jennifer Skully has written a cute murder mystery and love story rolled into one. Lili and Tanner are adorable together and including Erika who is not so annoying as I thought she would be. And you actually maybe surprised by who the murderer is and why.
There are some nice steamy moments and a few laughs including a nice secondary story about Lili's boss Kate who is the crush of funeral director Joe. (Insert your own jokes here)
For a nice, simple yet steamy read I recommend this "magical" tale.

It's Definitely Magic.......2007-08-13
I adore this novel, primarily because of the cats. Einstein and "Fluffy" are just too adorable, they are so darn adorable that I'm a little contrite to say I love the book because of the cats. I do like the heroine Lili though she is definitely more vivid than Tanner and is comfortable with her special power. I look forward to more of Skully's great romantic comedies and this book definitely cements her talent for smart, funny, contemporaries.
It must be a Skully novel.......2007-07-08
I have a short attention span when it comes to books, but I savored It Must Be Magic all the way through in one sitting. Jennifer Skully's characters are so real and lovable that you'd swear they lived down the block (or you wish they did). An original plot and enough twists to keep you guessing make this a magical read!

R.L.Stine, what were you thinking?.......2002-06-23
Stine must have lost his memory when writing this confusing, awkward and highly implausible less-than-thrilling alien tale. Jacob Miller wakes up with amnesia in an unfamiliar environment where kids eat through their armpits and write in a different language. This story is backwards, uninteresting, and ultimately disappointing. The "Slappers" are gross and creatively scary, but not enough to save this weak and predictable excuse for a sci-fi psychological thriller.
