I have a website that is devoted to the life and works of Jennifer Lash. I have read the following books by her:
1. Blood Ties - in print
2. On Pilgrimage - in print
3. From May to October - out of
print
4. Suffolk Song Cycle - out of
print
5. The Dust Collector - out of
print
6. The Prism - out of print
Other books are:
1. The Climate of Belief
2. The Burial
3. Get Down There and Die
She is a wonderful author, and Jennifer Lash infuses a story with a capability to understand emotions and to delve into the psyches of the characters that she presents. She is never at a loss for words and her books are studies into the frailities and strengths of human nature.
She is a powerful witness and storyteller, and she is able to describe the smallest of details with a desire to take the reader into the scene and the minds of the scenes and characters that she creates.
Readers will enjoy reading "On Pilgrimage" and I recommend it very highly to them. Jini's sense of observation is marvelous, and while she is known generally as a serious writer, with this book of her personal thoughts while on pilgrimage she manages to display a generous and witty side as well.
I am continually on the lookout for more things to include on my website, and it can be accessed at:

I thank one and all for taking the time to look at my work, and I hope to continue to make Jennifer Lash into a name that one associates quality writing with.
I remain,
Sincerely,
Mary Frances
