Book Description
Set in a provincial Argentinean town, The Honorary Consul takes place in that bleak country of exhausted passion, betrayal, and absurd hope that Graham Greene has explored so precisely in such novels as The Power and the Glory and The Comedians.
On the far side of the great, muddy river that separates the two countries lies Paraguay, a brutal dictatorship shaken by sporadic revolutionary activity; on the near side, a torpid city whose only visible cultural institution is a brothel. The foreigners of the city are refugees, each washed up on the banks of the Paraná by some inner disaster or defeat: Dr. Eduardo Plarr, a physician, whose English father has vanished into a Paraguayan prison, and for whom "caring is the only dangerous thing"; Humphries, a teacher of English, who has touched bottom and accepted it; Charley Fortnum, the Honorary Consul, who at the age of sixty-one, sustained by drink and his disputed status as British Consul, still retains enough hope and illusion to marry a twenty-year-old girl from Señora Sanchez' brothel...
With gathering force, Graham Greene draws his characters into the political chaos that lies beneath the surface of South American life. Fortnum is kidnapped by Paraguayan revolutionaries who have mistaken him for the American Ambassador. Realizing their error, they threaten to execute him anyway if their demands are not met. Plarr, torn between his instinctive feeling for the revolutionaries -- one of whom is an old friend -- and his ambiguous relationship with Fortnum, whose wife he has taken as a lover, becomes involved in a tragicomedy that leads inexorably to a meaningless death.
At the center of The Honorary Consul is Plarr, a brilliant Graham Greene creation, perhaps the most moving and convincing figure in his fiction. Plarr is a man so cut off from human feeling, so puzzled by the emotional needs of men like Fortnum, that he is paradoxically vulnerable, chillingly exposed, and required in the end to pay with his life for the illusions that other people believe in and that he himself cannot share.
In the men and women who surround Plarr -- Clara, who has moved from the brothel to Charley Fortnum's bedroom; Father Rivas, the revolutionary priest who dominates those near him, despite his unsanctified marriage and belief in political terror; Saavedra, the Argentinean novelist, whose work lugubriously mirrors the world around him; Aquino, the poet-turned-revolutionary; Colonel Perez, the cheerfully efficient chief of police -- Graham Greene has created a world peculiarly his own. It is a world illuminated by that special passion for the complexities of love, faith, compassion, and betrayal that lies at the very heart of his work.

Greene's most enduring novel.......2007-01-25
In a provincial town 800 km north of Buenos Aires a group of revolutionaries kidnap by mistake Charly Fortnum, the Honorary Consul, instead of the American Ambassador. They request the liberation of 10 prisoners from Paraguay.
The characters are brilliantly drawn and the prose is sparse and taught. Fortnum, sixty-one year old, living on whisky and his disputed status as an "Honorary" British Consul marries a young ex-prostitute from Senora Sanchez's brothel. Dr Eduardo Plarr whose deficient emotions form the heart of the novel. Although Plarr is Clara's lover and the father of the child she's expecting, he still envies Fortnum's love for her because it is a feeling he has never been capable of experiencing himself. Even the minor characters of the kidnappers, Aquino, Father Rivas and Marta are sardonically drawn and during the bungled kidnap, plenty is said among them about justice, faith, love and God during the 3-day confine in a dirty mud and tin hut.
Terrific Range of Characters in Desperate, Hopeless Plot.......2005-09-09
"The Honorary Consul" is the first Graham Greene novel I've read, and it is easy to see why Greene has earned so many devoted fans and seemingly over-the-top superlatives over his long career.
Based on this novel, Greene's strength seems to be creating a rich cast of characters, full of different tics, scars, dreams, virtues, and flaws, and dropping them into a plot of balanced tragedy and farce. By stirring great ingredients into a delicious recipe, Greene created a novel to savour and one, I would bet, improves with each reading.
Set in an anonymous border town just on the Argentine side of Paraguay, "The Honorary Consul" focuses on the hapless, accidental kidnapping of Charley Fortnum, the titular honorary consul. A band of revolutionaries, lethally inept, swipe the British Fortnum instead of their target, the American ambassador, whom they wanted to exchange for political prisoners in the Paraguayan dictatorship nearby. Unfortunately for the kidnappers, Fortnum's title is more impressive than his station, and nobody is all that eager to save Fortnum, much less give in to the kidnappers' demands.
Further adding to the travesty of the situation, Fortnum's only connection to the outside world is Dr. Plarr, a half-British, half Argentinian physician who is also having an affair with Fortnum's wife, a former prostitute. Plarr, whose father vanished into the Paraguayan prison system years ago, is a man incapable of emotion -- when it comes to relationships, he's good at the physics but not the chemistry.
Plarr struggles to help the innocent Fortnum escape his looming fate -- if ten political prisoners are not released from Paraguay, the kidnappers will shoot Fortnum. Through his efforts both with the kidnappers and with several possible saviors, Plarr meets and interacts with a host of characters whose range of quirks and passions would be at home in a Casablanca cafe.
Greene writes with an economic, spare prose that is nevertheless powerful, often using dialogue and soliloquies to advance the story rather than long-winded descriptions of setting. Clocking in at under 300 pages, "The Honorary Consul" is a riveting read that probably goes too fast on the first read. I plan on putting it aside for a few months before taking it up again . . . I'm sure I'll catch a bit more meaning the second time around, but there was plenty for the first trip through.
A dark, occasionally depressing novel of lost opportunities, false passions, and the ultimate quest for truth, "The Honorary Consul" is a heck of a read. Check it out.
Not Quite Great.......2005-06-03
At their best, Greene's novels put ordinary men in difficult moral situations. Then, his characters make heroic, but often self-defeating, moral choices. These great novels include THE POWER AND THE GLORY, THE HEART OF THE MATTER, THE QUIET AMERICAN, and THE COMEDIANS. Read them.
In THE HONORARY COUNSUL, Greene also creates difficult moral situations for his primary characters. But, in this novel, the dilemmas of Father Rivas and Dr. Plarr are without Greene's usual deft balance between choice and disaster.
Instead, Greene creates moral situations that appear doomed almost from the book's beginning. As a result, the choices that Rivas and Plarr make don't seem especially heroic. Instead, these characters seem to be caught in a death machine, which is indifferent to their personal dilemmas.
To a large extent, they are like Charley Fortnum, the novel's honorary counsel, who is kidnapped mistakenly by political revolutionaries. Here, Fortnum, despite lots of misery and recrimination, is basically waiting for the denouement, as the death machine grinds forward.
In Greene's great books, there is also the pleasure of seeing characters move through time and place. In contrast, much of this novel is conversation, with Greene making his points. Many of these are about moral responsibility. But others just seem "writerly", with Greene developing endless ironic connections between apparently dissimilar characters.
Nonetheless, this is a good read and a rewarding book, with the best scene the querulous formation of the Anglo-Argentinean Club.
God and Love in the Mind of an Apathetic Man.......2004-04-21
Graham Greene presents the story of a half-English medical doctor, Eduardo Plarr, living in a backwater town in Argentina. The title derives from Plarr's relationship with the Honorary Consul, Charley Fortnum, and his adulterous relationship with Fortnum's former-prostitute wife. This work of literature is very well written and has the taste of art.
Greene's writing expresses the subtlety of his characters - apathetic men who go through life not having been impressed with much. Greene's theme is love and how or whether it is expressed between men and women, and also how it is expressed (if expressed at all) between man and God. Graham puts into the thoughts of Dr. Plarr:
"`Love' was a claim which he wouldn't meet, a responsibility he would refuse to accept, a demand ... So many times his mother had used the word when he was a child; it was like the threat of an armed robber. `Put up your hands or else ...' Something was always asked in return: obedience, an apology, a kiss which one had no desire to give." And again:
"That stupid banal word love. It's never meant anything to me. Like the word God."
Thus, Greene puts these "larger than ourselves" themes on the backs of his self-absorbed characters. The result is masterful. If you are looking to read classic literature - the kind of literature that actually requires the reader to think and ponder the implications of the print - then this book is for you. Highly recommended.
Dull, listless, sad.......2004-04-13
This is what happens when great authors go to seed. It seems like a cruel mockery of a Greene novel, parading the same old themes around, corrupted more than ever by an unjustified excess liberalism. There isn't a single living character here, and even though the prose is generally competent, I think it has to be buried in consideration of the man's memory.

Book Description
Is Graham Greene really the great novelist we think he is? ... In what way did he succeed in keeping his readership spellbound? ... What was the driving force behind his so-called 'Catholicism'?... Was there a special reason for him to call The Honorary Consul his "favourite book"?... Why is 'clock time' such a matter of great concern to those who otherwise believe the book to be his greatest?... And is there any reason for calling his characters 'empty' or 'full' - and anything in between - instead of just defining them "flat" or "round"?... The answers to these and many other intriguing questions are to be found in this captivating analysis of The Honorary Consul by Rudolf E. van Dalm. Instead of being only a study on Graham Greene, it has turned out to be a fascinating report on what makes Greene such an absorbing writer. One of the most gripping publications on the famous British author on the eve of the millennium, the book is both entertaining and instructive.

Instant Loving Family.......2007-09-02
This is the first novel I've read by Cheryl St. John. And I was very impressed. She spun a wonderful tale of tradgedy, triumph, trust and true love. This was a fast-paced page-turner, that I was caught up in from beginning to end and even though I couldn't put it down, I hated that it ended so soon. A sweet and endearing tale that crept into my heart and warmed my very soul. This story had unforgettable and heart-warming characters and the emotional depth of the storyline just flowed effortlessly. I enjoyed watching Justin and Meredith's budding friendship bloom into a full blown love affair with great promise for both of them. Ms. St. John also handles the interracial relationship and Anna's mixed heritage in a very mature and respectfully understanding manner. I not only fell in love with lil' Anna, but with Justin's sons Lamond and Jonah, who didn't seem to see the color at all and only offered instant friendship to Meredith and her baby girl. A thoroughly enjoyable read!
Interesting Premise.......2006-06-04
Through invitro-fertilization and a mix-up at the clinic Meredith Malone (white) gives birth to a daughter who is biracial. To get away from it all Meredith accepts a two-week vacation and meets Justin Weber (black) and his two sons. Justin is an attorney who works for the clinic. Both are unaware of each other's connection to the clinic, which leads to the conflict between the two. Meredith's mother has a difficult time accepting her granddaughter's mixed heritage,however Meredith displayed strength in making the decision that she would not have her mother's bigotry impact her daughter. This was a tender and charming novel.
Perfect!.......2005-02-21
Meredith Malone wanted to be a mother, but there has no man in her life, so she visits a fertility center. Through a lab mix up, her daughter is born biracial. That doesn't matter to Meredith. She loves Anna. The fertility center, worried about a lawsuit, sends them on a vacation and Meredith meets Justin Weber and his sons. She thinks theirs could be a match made in heaven until she finds out Justin works for the fertility center. Did he use her, or could it be real love?
In Child of Her Heart, Cheryl St. John explores issues of race, of what makes a parent...but mainly it's a story of love that will stay with you for years to come.
Another winner from Cheryl St. John!.......2004-12-16
Meredith Malone was a woman who knew what tragedy and hardship were. Her fiance dumped her as soon as he learned that she had breast cancer, but Meredith survived that obstacle. She decided that she wanted to have a baby, but the donors got mixed up and she gave birth to a half-black, half-white baby girl. She loves her baby, but her mother Jacqueline is not quite so accepting of the baby and encourages Meredith to give the baby up for adoption because people will think she had relations with a black man (that seems to be Jacqueline's biggest concern). Offered an extended stay on the Oregon coast, Meredith takes the opportunity to get away - and meets the man of her dreams.
Justin Weber had lost his wife a few years ago in a freak accident. Now he was a dedicated father to his two young boys, and he wasn't looking for a relationship. As soon as he meets Meredith, however, his wounded heart seems to come alive, and soon they're in love with one another. The couple has a lot to face, though - not only will Meredith's mother disapprove of the match because Justin is black, but Meredith finds it hard to trust him because of the hurt she experienced in her past. Her faith in him will really be tested once she learns that he's the attorney for the clinic that mixed up the donors...
I usually don't judge a book by its cover, but that's what made me pick up this book in the first place. I don't see a lot of interracial romance books, unfortunately, so this one immediately caught my eye. The picture on the front is great - it looks real and loving. And the story is what we have come to expect from the wonderful author, Cheryl St. John - one that creeps into your heart and touches your soul with its heartwarming characters and emotional depth. I fell in love with Justin, Meredith, and the three children; honestly, I didn't want the book to end. Ms. St. John deals with this interracial relationship in a respectful, touching way; and despite being a part of the Logan's Legacy series, is a great stand alone book.

College Gift.......2006-03-16
I was given this book by my mother when I went off to college. She hid it in with all of my school books so I wouldn't find it. I was so surprised when I found it while unpacking. I read it right away, and I knew how much my Mom loved and missed me. I would read it whenever I got homesick and I encourage every mother to get this book for their daughter, you will never know how much your daughters will cherish it.
Mother's Wisdom!.......2001-02-19
What a fantastic book! A must buy for every mother to her daughter. When your daughters leave home it's a nice book to remind them of all the things you worked years to instill into them. Very touching, light-hearted, and every so true.
Love Pearls Messages from a Mother to her Daughter.......2000-12-02
Love Pearls is a book that every Mom should read with her daughter, just alittle at a time, so it can be savored. Excerpts should be put in college allowance check envelopes, lunchboxes and under pillows. The messages inspire and foster that special mother/daughter bond. I read it with my 10 year old, it made us laugh and cry and hug. I loved it so much I bought copies for my sisters and for their daughters. I think every daughter should have a copy!

Wonderful Keepsake.......2007-03-28
"From a Daughter's Heart to Her Mom" makes a wonderful keepsake as a coffee table book, or one to keep at your bedside for daily reflection.
Vintage style, color-tinted photographs adorn the pages of this book alongside quotes, scriptures, and inspirational messages that remind a mother how important she is.
A touching tribute to moms.......2006-07-15
It's Mother's Day on every page of this wonderful book! Fifty thoughtful reflections reveal the true image of a mother, and provide a touching tribute to every woman who wears this title.
Heather Ivester writes directly to the special ladies who are reading this book, inviting them to discover new treasures in their own mother-daughter relationships. The pages flow with a charming conversational touch, as the words evoke beautiful images and heartfelt emotions. Each meditation examines another aspect of motherhood, touching a universal chord of familiarity with the readers. While the influence of mothers is raised to a noble height, it is done in a realistic and honest way. Simple events like baking cookies or bandaging a cut are seen with renewed appreciation and respect.
The pages are beautiful with exquisite photography gently speaking life into the words. An appropriate Bible verse and quotes from well-known people complement the text and anchor it to readers' hearts. The many roles of a mother are sensitively filtered through a daughter's memories and the passing of years. It is this backward glance at childhood that creates a strong emotional involvement. Every woman will see her own mother in this book, as she relives those precious moments that time and distance can never erase.
A little girl often delights in playing dress-up in her mother's clothes. In a sweet and different type of role reversal, these pages dress up a girl's mother in a gracious gown of love and righteousness. - Joyce Handzo, Christian Book Previews.com
Perfect For Any Mother Any Time.......2006-05-14
If you are looking to celebrate the joys of motherhood, you need this book. The rich prose from Heather Ivester combines with a verse from the Bible, a pointed quotation and beautiful photography.
Each open page is an opportunity for you to speak words to your mother that you may think--but never verbalize. For example on page 17, "Mom, you are so incredibly patient with me. You hung in there with me when I was younger and I didn't know enough to show you much gratitude. I took your sacrifices for granted...During those years I was so absorbed in my own little world that I forgot to thank you. But now I realize how much you did--and still do!--and my heart overflows with grateful love."
What a rich, sensitive book! I hope it will become a classic for years to come.

Dr. Gail Terry comes to Marfa, Texas looking for her daughter that was taken from her twelve years ago.
She meets up with Rand Hartsite when she receives a call of a fall by his mother and she is the nearest medical help available.
Almost immediately Rand is definitely intrigued with Gail, her calmnest and efficiency in handling his strong-willed mother.
He decides to help Dr. Terry in showing his approval by bringing in his adopted daughters. Twins? Or is one or both of the girls her daughter/s.
Now Gail has a complicated dilemma to deal with. Rand starts an honest straight-forward pursuit of Gail and she definitely has a conscience that bothers her. What a story of love and betrayal.
Of course Mary Grace does not want to see her "father" involved with Dr. Terry but Carel Belle is delighted. What a mix-up!
You really definitely have to read this story. Rand at 41 really feels betrayed again [by guess who] and Dr. Gail, at 31 has finally found out about real love. Snits! they both have been divorced [he definitely had cause]. She made as big a mistake as he did.
You will love his mother - a true matriarch! The characters are great - the story line does keep you reading.
