In her bewitching 30th novel, I'll Take You There, Joyce Carol Oates returns again to neurotic female post-adolescence. The unnamed narrator attends an upstate New York university in the early 1960s. In those times of tightly prescribed femininity, she joins a sorority in a bald attempt to become part of the sisterhood of normalcy. It doesn't work. She reads philosophy, she works for a living, she's asexual, she's an orphan, she's a Jew: "I was a freak in the midst of their stunning, stampeding, blazing female normality." Booted from the sorority, she falls hard for a thirtyish black philosophy student who seems to her to live on a higher plane than the rest of humanity. In the final section, she is called west to the deathbed of someone she thought was lost to her forever. Oates brings together some of her strongest trademark qualities: She writes her character's life as though it were a fairy tale. She sells her material, bringing dramatic tension to the very first page: "They would claim I destroyed Mrs. Thayer.... Yet others would claim that Mrs. Thayer destroyed me." And she writes with tender care about the intellectual life of her young protagonist. Some find Oates's obsession with nascent womanhood claustrophobic, but in this heroine she finds a vein of integrity and intellectual probity peculiar to those who are not quite adult. Most writers treat college life as comedy or romance. Oates, on the other hand, seriously explores an age when we are most terribly ourselves. She seems to find something deeply human and pleasingly dramatic in this time wedged between childhood and adulthood. --Claire Dederer
Book Description
"Anellia" is a young student who, though gifted with a penetrating intelligence, is drastically inclined to obsession. Funny, mordant, and compulsive, she falls passionately in love with a brilliant yet elusive black philosophy student. But she is tested most severely by a figure out of her past she'd long believed dead.
Astonishingly intimate and unsparing, and pitiless in exposing the follies of the time, I'll Take You There is a dramatic revelation of the risks—and curious rewards—of the obsessive personality as well as a testament to the stubborn strength of a certain type of contemporary female intellectual.

PerfectBound e-book exclusive extra: Afterword by Joyce Carol Oates In those days in the early Sixties we were not women yet but girls. This was, without irony, perceived as our advantage." So begins I'll Take You There, an astonishingly intimate and unsparing self-portrait of a nameless young student who, though gifted with a penetrating intelligence, is drastically inclined to obsession. Funny, mordant, and compulsive, "Anellia" (as she sometimes calls herself) falls passionately in love with a brilliant yet elusive black philosophy student. But she is tested most severely by a figure out of her past she'd long believed dead. Pitiless in exposing the follies of the time (the bizarre "sisterhood" of sororities, the self-lacerating extremes of the intellectual life), I'll Take You There is a dramatic revelation of the risks - and curious rewards - of the obsessive personality as well as a testament to the stubborn strength of a certain type of contemporary female intellectual.

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE by Joyce Carol Oates
September 25, 2007
Amazon Rating: 5/5 stars
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE by Joyce Carol Oates focuses on a young woman (who is never named but calls herself Anellia) who is neurotic, obsessive compulsive, and has a hard time fitting in anywhere. She is 18 at the start of the story and has just joined a sorority. The reader is going to wonder why in the world she even thought she could fit in after reading this first section of the story. She continuously sabotages herself, behaves in such a way that the other girls abhor her, and the one woman in the sorority, the house mother, who sees some true character in the girl and almost likes her, she alienates. You know there is something wrong with this girl, whether it was in-born or because of her environment while growing up. And her memory flashbacks tell us that story, a family background in which she grew up in a household filled with brothers and a father who she thinks hated her and blamed her for the death of their mother.
In the second section of the book, Anellia no longer is in the sorority (having been kicked out) and has found a man that she's become intrigued with, a black student that attends the same philosophy class that she does. He is brash and oftentimes comes close to angering the professor, and she soon begins to stalk him. They get into an odd relationship, an almost love-hate relationship as she becomes obsessed with him, most likely because he is black, during a time where racially mixed relationships were not accepted.
And finally in the third section, she receives a call regarding a man that had a big impact on her life and is told he is dying, someone that had disappeared years ago and was thought to be dead. This third section ties everything together, and in some ways gives closure to the main character as she comes to terms with her childhood.
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE is an intense character-driven story of a woman that is unlikable and all around not a very pleasant person to be with. But for those who enjoy character driven books may appreciate I'LL TAKE YOU THERE... Or maybe not. But I am giving this book 5 stars for the very detailed-oriented character descriptions that easily allows the reader to get inside the head of this unloved and unlikable woman.
Beautifully written sad, upsetting and very real coming-of-age story.......2006-11-13
Joyce Carol Oates grew up poor on a farm in Upstate New York. Most of her books invoke this background and all its bleakness. Perhaps her 2002 novel "I'll Take You There" is based on her life. I don't know. It sure does seem real. But that might just be because it is written in the first person, and in a voice I could relate to. It felt like the narrator was sitting in front of me and telling me her story.
There are three main parts of this story about this woman who is never named. Often, she mentions that people call her by the wrong name or refuse to call her by her name. When she falls in love she makes up a name for her lover to call her. And then, when I turned the last page I realized that the author had no intention of ever giving the reader her name. It seems like a silly plot device, but it works.
The first part of the book involves our narrator's life at Syracuse University in 1963. She belongs to a sorority, one that is old and respected and is peopled by brainless young women trying to find a husband before graduation. Our narrator doesn't fit in; in fact she was invited to join simply because she is smart and could help the other girls with their papers. Painstakingly, she describes the details of living in that sorority house. She's deeply unhappy, but, in fact she's been unhappy all her life. Her mother died when she was a baby and she has been raised on a farm by her cold Germanic grandparents. She has three older brothers who ignore or hate her and somehow blame her for their mother's death. Her father is mostly absent but he shows up once in a while in between his construction jobs. He drinks and smokes and pays little attention to her except for a few brief moments when she is valedictorian of her high school graduating class.
She describes life in the sorority house in excruciatingly painful detail and captures the time and the place perfectly. She is an outsider. It is all horrible.
The next section of the book involves her romance with a highly intelligent black grad student studying philosophy during the beginnings of the civil rights movement. He is a difficult person to be in love with because he has his own demons and she is usually unhappy.
The last section of the book deals with her dying father.
This is a coming of age story. It is sad. It is upsetting. It is real. It is so well written I couldn't put it down. My life has been very different from that of the woman in the story but yet I related completely. Joyce Carol Oates is just such a good writer.
I highly recommend this book although I know it is not for everybody. But for Joyce Carol Oates fans, it's a "must".
Oates uses her powers for evil!.......2006-09-15
I haven't read any of her other work. I'm sure the writing is just as beautiful and sensitive as it was in this one (and it was), but how could anyone take such gifts and use them to do things like describe first love as a disease? I felt utterly horrible the whole time I was reading this. It was depressing, without any sort of emotional reward.
The character names sounded fake.
I'm not saying the book was bad (the star ratings, I noticed, have to do with how much I enjoyed the book), but it takes a certain type of reader to deal with protracted melancholy. There's a certain tension that comes from a character seeing herself in a situation which she finds uncomfortable from day one, and then just staying in it until it ends horribly. This is just fair warning to people who like to actively solve problems.
meloncholy.......2006-04-16
You can hear the despiration in this womans story. The want and the need to be accepted, cared for, and loved. But what I liked most about this book was the woman's strength. She refused to let that stop her from fighting for that love. Although she was an outcast who was cast out she fought her way in.
Probing insights.......2005-12-30
Joyce Carol Oates introduces her readers to a fascinating female character in this novel. This woman is desperate to fit into almost any place that will have her - she seeks identity, companionship and a sense of belonging that has eluded her all of her life. As is often the case, our greatest strength may also be our greatest detriment. "Annelia's" intellectual pursuits and abilities lead her to seek definition through another character, Vernor, who uses and discards her just as her sorority did. I felt intense compassion for Annelia in her quest for friendship and belonging. It is often the case that the most vulnerable among us are those who are most often victimized: which comes first? I found the philosophical quotes and discussions that weave through this book in increasing velocity were an integral part of the exploration of this initiation into adulthood.

Featuring more than 70 stories collected as part of "the Feathers project," Feathers Brush My Heart is a comforting book for women in times of loss. Each story, ranging in length from a couple of paragraphs to several pages, speaks of some sort of communication between mothers and daughters; what they have in common is that in each case, the mother has already passed away. In every other way, each story is entirely different.
The women who contributed stories are of all ages and income brackets. Some write movingly of abuse and dysfunction during their childhoods, while others pen with equal grace tales of close, loving relationships with their parents. Some gifts are as simple as finally learning to make their mom's beloved peanut butter fudge. More complex tales show repeated instances of protection and strongly felt presences in the midst of physical danger.
Dreams, impressions, and objects all figure strongly, and many women write of the particular significance of a special flower, ribbon, vase, or article of clothing. Author Sinclair Browning ties this collection together with gentle musings and recommended readings, along with a few short stories of her own. And while the details vary, the core message remains consistent: those who love us are never truly gone, and contact is always available if you remain open to the possibilities. --Jill Lightner

Most Wonder Book for Loss of Mother.......2007-09-10
A friend told me to read this book shortly after I lost my dear mother to breast cancer. It is full of inspiring, wonderful true stories of women who lost their mothers and had signs of them being near them after passing. The most wonderful thing happened to me after I finished this book a couple of weeks after my mothers funeral. I was going to church every morning at 7 a.m. for mass every day on my way to work after she died. One morning I was sitting in my usual pew in front of the Blessed Mother statue waiting for service to begin....I looked down as I knelt to pray at the pew seat in front of me and there was a feather! It was over 3 inches long - I looked everywhere else around me - no other feathers but the one right in front of me. I believe this was a sign from my mother. Please read this book - your mother is still with you...you will always be together.
HELPED SO MUCH AFTER DEATH OF MY MOTHER.......2007-06-02
I have given this book to about four of my friends whose mothers have died. It is a compilation of stories from women of all walks of life who have experienced some sort of "visit" or sign from their mothers after their mothers have passed on. It is so interesting and so comforting. It expresses what many of my friends have experienced but hadn't been talking about. Are these visits coincidences or are we living in a dream here and the world after this is the real world? It gave me great comfort and hope when my mom died, and I continue to hear from her in so many ways.. strange bird visits.. dog visits, dreams.. I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who has lost a mother, whether they were on good terms or bad. I will continue to order this book and share it with my friends. Thanks for reading!
Feathers Brush My Heart.......2007-03-09
A very intersting book relating experiences women have had after the death of their mother.
Slow Read.......2007-01-14
This isn't a book you should buy if you just want to get from beginning to end in a hurry .. its a book you read a story or two and then set aside while you digest - or dry your tears .. bought one for each of my sisters as well - we lost our Mom this year and this book touched my heart
The Cardinal.......2007-01-08
I just finished reading this book and sat wondering how my mother would contact me. I love feeding the birds and began to wonder what kind of bird my mother would be if she choose to visit. A cardinal, so beautiful and bright, that's what she'd be. I'd made up my mind.
I put the book down, walked to the kitchen and stood in shock. There sat a cardinal in the lilac bush, just several feet away. I'll never forget that day.
My mother passed away 25 years ago and this was the first time I can say I truly felt her presence.
Sadly, I will now give this book to my niece. I just attended her mother's funeral. I don't want her to wait 25 years.

Bitter... Sweet.......2006-02-20
Brown and Walker have delivered a tale that is both depressing and uplifting. Not really sure what I was getting, I started reading 'Connecting Hearts' early last night. I kept reading until I finished the last page in the wee hours this morning. I've spent much of the day feeling aftershocks from the emotional roller coaster that is this book.
Denise Jennings is a reclusive woman who has published three very popular books of poetry. At the age of 10, her parents were killed in a house fire. She has lived with her Aunt Sara ever since. Sara is her only family. Sara has just been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) and only has months to live.
Looking for information on the disease, Denise runs across a website for Brightwood Pharmaceuticals and chats with Nurse Miranda Martin (Randa). Feeling the pain of her patient, Randa shares her home e-mail address with Denise in hopes she can ease the other woman's pain.
The two women begin an e-mail correspondence and become very good on-line friends. As Sara's health begins to take a turn for the worse, American Randa surprises Denise and shows up on her doorstep in the UK. While taking on nursing duties and supporting Denise, Randa develops a close relationship with Sara as well. In the meantime, Denise and Randa take their own relationship to the next level... with Sara's enthusiastic blessing.
This is a powerful tale and is not recommended for someone who has recently lost a loved one from an incurable disease. I watched my own mother waste away from terminal cancer 15 years ago and this book brought back many still raw memories.
That said, I can't think of any reason NOT to read this book at some point. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will leave you speechless. This one's a keeper and I'm more than ready to tackle the sequel 'Family Connections.'
Do yourself a favor. Get this book and read it today... Just make sure to have a box of tissues handy.
Wonderful romance with a heartbreaking story.......2005-11-09
This is a newly edited edition and a super way to spend a weekend. The characters draw you in from the first chapter. It's a delightfully long read at over 300 pages and very emotional. Your heart will go out to the main characters.
As a bonus there is lovely poetry throughout the book.
I totally agree with the review from October 28th, 2005, this is a beautiful story.
This novel is a keeper and you will read it again.
Don't miss the sequel Family Connections.
From the publisher's web site - Miranda Martin is a nurse, burned out by the stress of hospital work and too many hopeless cases. Now she works for an online medical information hotline. She's still helping people, but from a safe distance.
DJ is a reclusive poet who lives in England with her aunt, Sara. When Sara's health takes a sudden turn for the worse, DJ begins a desperate search for information and hope. She finds that and more when her search leads her to Randa Martin.
In the shadow of Sara's debilitating illness, a friendship forms and two hearts connect.
Review of "Connecting Hearts" by Cheri Rosenberg.......2005-10-28
"Connecting Hearts" by Val Brown and MJ Walker is a poignant story about two women living on different continents. Denise Jennings (DJ) is a reclusive British poet who lives with her Aunt Sara. When Sara is diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease or Motor Neuron Disease, DJ searches for answers on how to help her aunt who is like a mother to her and who is the only family she has left. In desperation, Denise contacts an American nurse Miranda (Randa) Martin who works for an Internet health information service. Not only does DJ get medical advice, compassion, and friendship, but she also gets so much more.
In a character-driven plot with terminal illness as the backdrop lurks a beautiful love story of two women brought together by fate. One is strong-willed and fiercely independent while the other is nurturing and caring. One is a reclusive poet who protects her privacy and the other is a registered nurse who wears her heart on her sleeve. Randa is the most honest person Denise has ever known and it frightens her a little. Will the nurse be able to help the poet through a difficult time in her life as her aunt is dying, and more important, will the poet accept her help? When love knocks on her door at a vulnerable time, will Denise accept that she can revel in happiness even though surrounded by sadness?
Despite her diagnosis, Sara remains stoic and an inspiration of hope to us all. Her bravery and her unconditional love for her niece are palpable, heroic, and commendable. Watching her wither away brings sadness, but her strength of character, humor, and innate happiness leave a lasting impression. Denise realizes how truly blessed she is to have this fine woman in her life and is understandably devastated to be losing her.
Brown and Walker have done an excellent job of portraying all aspects of terminal illness including the necessity of drawing up a living will before the need for one arises, the toll it takes on loved ones, and the importance of making necessary arrangements. The authors manage to convey the difficulty, without falling into unnecessary melodrama and cliché. With all the hype of the Terri Schiavo case, "Connecting Hearts" portrays a timely topic and stresses the importance of writing advance directives while a person is still healthy and mentally capable.
The authenticity whereby the authors use dialogue in the form of emails between DJ and Randa before they meet in person rings true. DJ's poetry also adds significantly to the enjoyment and beauty of this novel. DJ tells her agent, "Not long ago, somebody said to me that reading poetry was a way to make us stronger and wiser without causing us any pain...What I mean is that hurt and pain, and even desire, do have a function. If these feelings can be expressed through verse, then maybe you can touch others. You can show people they are not alone" [p.63]. DJ shows her love and compassion through her poetry. Randa reveals her emotions through her actions and words. She is a compassionate nurse who not only preserves the dignity of her patients but when she cares deeply about someone, there is no mistaking her affections. Denise has a lot to learn from Randa in that department.
As in all stories that deal with terminal illness, and "Connecting Hearts" is no exception, the reader knows Sara is going to die from the very beginning and yet when it happens, the tears flow anyway. But, "Connecting Hearts" is also uplifting and so romantic that the reader can feel good about this book long after it is finished. Romance lovers will delight in Randa's impression of her first kiss with DJ. She exclaims, "I feel like I've been branded, and it was just by a kiss!...The songwriter who said, `a kiss is just a kiss' never got one from Denise Jennings!" [p. 133]. This well-written engaging story is riveting, enjoyable, witty, and bittersweet, as well as real, honest, and gritty. Learning about the lives of the three brave women as the story unfolds, makes it is easy to be enamored and intrigued by DJ, Randa, and Sara.
If you want an inspirational, sweet, and romantic love story with snappy dialogue, a clever story line, meticulous editing, loveable characters, enchanting emails, and beautiful poetry, then "Connecting Hearts" is the five star read for you. It will touch a special place in your heart.
Wonderful book!.......2005-08-22
If you're looking for a warm and wonderful book, this is it. Randa and Denise are engaging and their story touches you in so many ways. I read the book in a single sitting and don't regret reading into the wee hours one bit.
I purchased the new edition that Blue Feather Books published and it is a beautiful, quality product. I am happy to give this book 5 stars!
Decent Story, Terrible Editing.......2003-07-20
You know you're in trouble when a book starts out with a run-on sentence. Somebody should have caught that. The story is pretty good, and I liked Denise and Miranda, but how come somebody doesn't edit books from this press?
