Norman Geras' blog

Rose contributed a piece to Norman Geras' long-running Writer's Choice series, in which he asks a writer (novelist, essayist, poet, etc.) to comment on a book that has influenced him or her.  Rose opted for Stanley Weyman's superb Count Hannibal, which takes place during the French Wars of Religion.  You can find her piece here: http://normblog.typepad.com/normblog/2010/05/writers-choice-260-rose-melikan.html
