Oprah Book Club® Selection, November 1999: Vinegar Hill is an appropriate address for the characters who populate A. Manette Ansay's novel of the same name. After all, when Ellen Grier and her family return to the rural hamlet of Holly's Field, Wisconsin, it's not exactly a happy homecoming. Her husband, James, has been laid off from his job in Illinois. And for the moment, the family has moved in with Ellen's in-laws, Fritz and Mary-Margaret, an unhappy pair who dislike their daughter-in-law almost as much as they despise each other:
The first time Ellen sat at this table she was twenty years old, bright-cheeked after a spring afternoon spent walking along the lakefront with James, planning their upcoming wedding. It was 1959 and she was eager to make a good impression. She didn't know then that Mary-Margaret disliked her, that she was considered Jimmy's mistake.
Thirteen years later, in 1972, Ellen is back at the table with no escape in sight. Both she and her husband do find work. Yet James seems to settle a tad too easily into his old life, and shows no interest in finding a place of their own. Even worse, his job takes him away from home for weeks at a time, leaving Ellen to cope with her abusive in-laws.
In Vinegar Hill Ansay paints a searing portrait of the Midwest's dark side, of a rural culture infected with despair and ruled over by an unforgiving God. Yet she does hold out a grain of hope, too. Just as Ellen seems permanently entangled in familial desperation, she makes a surprising discovery about James's long-dead grandmother--a woman whose rebellious spirit inspires Ellen to rescue herself and her loved ones from the impinging darkness. This late-breaking redemption doesn't cancel out the preceding unhappiness: Vinegar Hill remains a tough, uncompromising tale, one that requires some fortitude to read. But those with the heart for it will be rewarded with fine, spare prose and a hopeful ending. --Alix Wilber
Book Description
In a stark, troubling, yet ultimately triumphant celebration of self-determination, award-winning author A. Manette Ansay re-creates a stifling world of guilty and pain, and the tormented souls who inhabit it. It is 1972 when circumstance carries Ellen Grier and her family back to Holly's Field, Wisconsin. Dutifully accompanying her newly unemployed husband, Ellen has brought her two children into the home of her in-laws on Vinegar Hill -- a loveless house suffused with the settling dust of bitterness and routine -- where calculated cruelty is a way of life preserved and perpetuated in the service of a rigid, exacting and angry God. Behind a facade of false piety, there are sins and secrets in this place that could crush a vibrant young woman's passionate spirit. And here Ellen must find the straight to endure, change, and grow in the all-pervading darkness that threatens to destroy everything she is and everyone she loves.

Not For Me.......2007-08-31
This book was definately not my type. I was frequently disgusted and could not relate to any aspect of the main character. There was little hope to hold onto as I read about a family full of dark, terrifying secrets. There was no silver lining, nothing to keep me reading except the possibility of closure from the sickening story line. I don't doubt there are people like these characters out there, but I hope to never waste my time on the likes of them again.
The Unbearable Heaviness of Being.......2007-01-12
This novel has been described as "bittersweet," but I couldn't find any sweetness in it. Set in 1972, an extremely dysfunctional family in rural Wisconsin is described with care and skill by the author, who has a great talent but who unfortunately for this reader, has produced one long horror story, replete with ghosts, Christian imagery, nightmarish relatives, physical abuse and mental cruelty, as well as trials for the protagonist that not even a female Job could bear. Forced to live with supremely nasty in-laws because of her husband's refusal to seek work, Ellen Grier is treated by them like a slave, is trodden upon, ignored, overworked, insulted, and even robbed of her earnings by her husband. I kept hoping her rebellion would come early and count for something. Not a book I would earmark for rereading.
A Dark But Interesting Journey.......2006-07-31
As so many other readers have stated, this is a dark story filled with bitter and unfulfilled characters. Still, Ansay's prose is so adept that I was impressed with how, well, disturbed her words made me feel.
Not all stories have a plot that winds its way around a framework of neat chapters. Vinegar Hill is as much a character study as a story, and Ellen, Ansay's lead character, is both a spectator and participant in her life. That balance shifts painfully slowly throughout the book. There are no easy endings and some characters are left to their own dark broodings. But such is the way in life.
Sometimes it's the story that disturbs that stays with you. For me, this is one such novel. It's not a summer beach read, but it's well worth reading.
Belief in One's Self and Ability Prevail.......2006-07-13
The details of the book are well laid out in previous reviews and editorials, so I will not burden the reader with the details again. I like Vinegar Hill because one of the main characters, Ellen Grier, reveals her true inner-most thoughts. She is stuck between a rock and a hard place, between choosing her loyalty to her husband and the risk of offending her in-laws. In my opinion, the in-laws are your "stereo-type in-laws from Hell," demanding, intolerant, old fuddy-duddies who give no consideration to anyone but themselves. As for dear hubby, James, he comes across as a spineless mommy's boy who just never finds his backbone. As you read through the pages, you will find yourself thinking of Emma, "Speak up, girl, and don't allow yourself to become a door mat!" Her patience and ability to deal with the situation are amazing.
The writing style makes this an easy read. Also recommended is Elizabeth Berg's "Open House" and Lolly Winston's "Good Grief."
blah.......2006-07-04
The best word I could come up with to describe this book is...blah.
There are so many loose pieces that are never tied together. I would not recommend bothering with this book.

Book Description
William A. James Sr. has done it again. He delves into the emotional side of why Vinegar Hill, a 20-acre-tract, was deemed an unbearable slum, and had to be destroyed immediately in 1963.
Everything wrong with Charlottesville was blamed on the innocent inhabitants of the "Hill." When three notorious hoodlums killed a UVA student, and Gabe Owens informed on them, most of the City Council and the UVA President swung into action. They masterminded a plan to demolish the homes and businesses of all Blacks on the "Hill," for the crimes of one or two people.
The above were helped along by the actions of three "racist" police officers who had murdered William Griot, to keep him from divulging the secret that they were actually Blacks. This novel is intriguing, mysterious, spiritual, and down-home soulful all at once.
In this novel, James enters the mind of the reader from page one, and does not let him/her go.

Intriguing historical setting, then a big letdown........1999-02-03
This is a fast-paced book that describes interesting characters and scenes, with plenty of action. As it runs its course, the events continue to crescendo, then, when the reader is expecting the most, everything collapses. McHugh has left me feeling as if I've been taken -- the ending is so terribly slipshod and trite that it mocks any literate person. What a disappointment after so much anticipation.

Book Description
From the 1920s through the 1950s, the center of black social and business life in Charlottesville, Virginia, was the area known as Vinegar Hill. But in 1960, noting the prevalence of aging frame houses and "substandard" conditions such as outdoor toilets, voters decided that Vinegar Hill would be redeveloped. Charlottesville's black residents lost a cultural center, largely because they were deprived of a voice in government. Vinegar Hill's displaced residents discuss the loss of homes and businesses and the impact of the project on black life in Charlottesville. The interviews raise questions about motivations behind urban renewal.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Local History.......2007-03-08
An excellent overview of the local history of "urban removal" in Charlottesville, Virginia. Presents the destruction of the Vinegar Hill neighborhood in the context of the local black history and larger racial issues at the time.
The book is built primarily on personal narratives. The commentary is helpful to strong it together, but could be more extensive. Additional readings helpful to place the local history in the context of a broader history of the devastating effects of urban renewal.

His wife Charis does not give the DNR form to the staff so when he seizes they revive him and he is caught in the limbo between death and life. David haunts the hospital while his wife keeps vigil, praying for a miracle. Charis never showed her emotions so David was never quite sure of her love for him until now. He sees that his demonstrative way of showing love ways doesn't mean his wife doesn't feel just as dearly. They meet on the astral plane to say goodbye, banish a soul-eating monster and stop a doctor from acing unethically.

Book Description
A trade summit on Corellia brings Han Solo back to the home world he left many years before. Arriving on the distant planet with Leia, their children and Chewbacca, Han finds Corellia overrun with agents of the New Republic Intelligence and finds himself part of a deceptive plan whose aim not even he understands. One thing is clear: the five inhabited worlds of the sector are on the brink of civil war and the once peaceful coexistence of the three leading races -- human, Selonian, and Drallan -- has come to an end.

not bad.......2007-05-22
The Corellian Trilogy was OK for post-Return of the Jedi books - a good amount better than the Jedi Academy Trilogy, but not as good as The Thrawn Trilogy.
But instead of those series, I highly recommend the following 5-star novels that are extremely relevant to the film series:
Cloak of Deception (Star Wars)
Shadow Hunter (Star Wars: Darth Maul)
Labyrinth of Evil (Star Wars, Episode III Prequel Novel)
Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Shadows of the Empire (Star Wars)
a very solid opening.......2006-07-11
Ambush at Corellia is the first volume of the Corellian Trilogy by Roger MacBride Allen. Han Solo is headed back to his home planet of Corellia for the first time in decades to attend a trade summit with his wife, the Chief of State of the New Republic, Leia Organa-Solo. It will be something of a rare family vacation as they are taking their children, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin. Corellia is nominally part of the New Republic, but it is a planet (and system) at risk of falling apart and falling away. Years of forced rule have made many there fairly insular. Before they leave for Corellia, Han is warned by a member of New Republic Intelligence (NRI) that Corellia is not safe and that there is a mission in place. Han could support the mission by acting in such a way to make people suspicious of him. This is Han's normal behavior, so there isn't much of a stretch. The agent who warned Han is nearly killed upon arrival in the Corellian spacelanes. The Millenium Falcon is ambushed by a staged attack perhaps meant to frighten Leia.
Once they set foot on Corellia Han and Leia see that the situation is much worse than they had anticipated. The entire star system is on the verge of imploding (meant as a societal term, not a a physical stellar term). The risk to the New Republic is great because there are not strong ties keeping the fledgling government together. It has only been 14 years since Return of the Jedi. As the novel progresses we see just how big the threat is to the New Republic and to the Corellian system.
Happily, the nature of this threat is quite a bit different from other Star Wars novels. We are not faced with the "superweapon", not exactly, and it is more of a political threat than a galactic threat. There is still action and there is still intrigue, but Ambush at Corellia has a different feel to it than many other Star Wars novels. It doesn't "feel" like the same old same old, and I've read at least sixty of them by now. Roger MacBride Allen has done a good job setting up the trilogy. The scope of the story is enlarged and we get a glimpse of what is to come, but we don't know exactly how this is going to play out. Sure, our heroes are very likely to live, but we don't know what is going to happen to them or what is going to happen to Corellia. I had one of those "bad feelings" that this was going to be a crappy trilogy like the Black Fleet Crisis, but I'm very happy to be wrong. This was a solid opening novel. I hope the following two novels expand on the story and improve on a solid beginning.

Star Wars - Ambush at Corellia.......2005-11-16
This book is another one of my favorites. When books come in a 3 set, it makes the reading funner. This book started off slow but it started to get more and more exciting. This book isn't very emotional when I read it, though some parts made me laugh. Happily no one died. The plot is pretty confusing but near the end you understand it all. It did end up hanging because there is another book. 5 out of 5.
Luke, We Need You Here !!.......2005-11-02
I was browsing through the library Audio Books section looking for something light to keep my mind active while I rested my eyes, and chose this two-cassette set more for the small size than becauseI knew about either the author or the reader. To my surprise, I found it held my interest. The action takes place after the original Star Wars movie, but the same cast of heroes battle the same forces of evil, so the elaborate visual effects are easily imagined. I'm looking forward to listening to the other two books in the trilogy.
Not bad, but kind of slow.......2005-08-01
I have to admit is was a slow read. This could partly be because I read it 10 years after it was published and after reading the NJO series. Overall it is an above average book and I recommend reading it because it does play some part in the events of the NJO. (note to the publisher: this has to be the worst proofreading I've ever seen. I lost count of the typos and misspelled words at least in my copy.)

This collection includes:
Ambush at Corellia
A trade summit on Corellia brings Han Solo back to the home world he left many years before. Arriving on the distant planet with Leia, their children and Chewbacca, Han finds Corellia overrun with agents of the New Republic Intelligence and finds himself part of a deceptive plan whose aim not even he understands. One thing is clear: the five inhabited worlds of the sector are on the brink of civil war and the once peaceful coexistence of the three leading races -- human, Selonian, and Drallan -- has come to an end.
Assault at Selonia
Imprisoned on the planet Corellia, Han Solo finds himself at the mercy of his evil cousin, Thracken Sal-Solo. Thracken plans to restore the Imperial system and seize total power -- no matter what the cost. Han has one chance to stop him. But to do so he must turn his back on his human cousin and join forces with a female alien. Dracmus was arrested as a ringleader in a plot against the corrupt Human League. Now she and Han will attempt a daring escape to Selonia in time to warn Leia, Luke Skywalker, and Lando of Thracken's plan. But can Han trust the alien to keep her word?
Meanwhile, other questions threaten the New Republic -- and the lives of millions. Who is behind the deadly Starbuster plot? Why is someone attempting to take possession of Corellia's powerful planetary repulsors? And what is the secret behind the mysterious Centerpoint Station, and ancient, artificial world of unknown origin that has suddenly -- and inexplicably -- come alive?
Showdown at Centerpoint
When a loyalist ship approaching Selonia is blasted out of space, Han Solo quickly realizes that rebel forces are turning planetary repulsors into weapons of immense destruction. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian manage to discover the terrifying secret of Centerpoint Station. It is the infamous Starbuster itself, and its next programmed nova, hard-wired in, is set to annihilate a chosen star, its inhabited worlds, and millions of innocent lives. There's only one way to stop it: blow up the station. But as a massive rebel fleet closes in on Centerpoint, Han, Luke and their friends will discover time is running out.
Then the true leaders of the rebellion reveal their identities, and issue their final ultimatum: The New Republic must withdraw all claim to power over the entire Corellian sector. With the future of Corellian freedom at stake, Han and those loyal to the Republic must somehow resist. But how can they possibly stop the deadliest weapon the galaxy has ever known?

one more time before the alter .......2005-12-02
Year after year, people have come to the Psalms in their spiritual quests. Here, the author adds one more layer of experience and tradition to the unnumbered people who have added their own input to the historic tradition. For people looking for a fusion with eastern thought, this could be helpful. Also, there is a rich variety of resources on the psalms interconnecting with tradition and experience, particularly those written or editted by Stephen Breck Reid
awesome.......2005-09-16
i loved it. reading the bible always makes me feel spanked. mitchell has done with the psalms what G did for moveable type. something about universal accessibility.
Not what I wanted.......2004-10-08
The author writes:"I have translated fairly closely where that has been possible; but I have also paraphrased, expanded, contracted, deleted, shuffled the order of verses and freely improvised on the themes of the originals.". This was not bad devotional free verse poetry but to call it specifically a translation of the book of psalms is very misleading. King James version and JPS have done it better. It is more inspired from the book of psalms than an actual translation. I give it a pass.
Enjoyable but for what audience?.......2002-08-05
Imagine the Tao Te Ching translated into Islamic terms, the Rg Veda reworked as a Judaic text, the Diamond Sutra translated as a Christian text; you are imagining something similar to these reworkings of the Psalms by Stephen Mitchell. While Norman Fischer in his Opening to You: Zen-Inspired Translations of the Psalms tried to translate the psalms into the universal religious concepts shared with Zen Buddhism, Mitchell recreates the psalms with Zen-specific terminology and contemporary scientific terminology which may clash with the images of the original psalms.
Example: from Psalm 148 "Praise him, you bodhisattvas, / you angels burning with his love. / Praise him in the depths of matter; / praise him in atomic space. / Praise him, you whirling electrons, / you unimaginable quarks."
The result is a set of poems which are sometimes "selected & adapted" as the book title implies, but which are often "inspired by". In those poems which speak from a consistent viewpoint, in which the mix of Judaism, Zen and science does not clash, there are excellent poems - the quality and sensativity one associates with Mitchell. Otherwise, this is one of his weaker efforts. It may be read as poetry but does not serve as a way into the psalms.
The Psalms, sort of.......2001-05-29
When you open to Psalm 1 and find that it begins: "Blessed are the man and the woman / who have grown beyond their greed," you know that this is not your fathers' Psalter.
Fair enough. Stephen Mitchell gives fair warning in his title (it's "a," not "the" Book of Psalms) and his short introduction (in which he states his intent to "[s]ing to the Lord a _new_ song" by following the spirit rather than the letter).
And like all of Mitchell's work, these are lovely poetic renderings. But be aware that quite a few of them are (or at least include) improvisations that depart radically from the original text. Then, too, the local references to Jerusalem and/or the Temple have been erased and replaced with more universal allusions. (Other portions of the text are rendered even more politically correct.)
My biggest beef is that Mitchell has turned most of the "complaining" Psalms (when he includes them at all; there are only fifty "psalms" in this volume) into statements of spiritual acquiescence. And he characterizes that acquiescence itself in terms that are foreign to the Psalms: e.g. Psalm 133's "my heart is not proud" is Buddhized to "my mind is not noisy with desires."
But it's excellent poetry, and Mitchell at least has the good sense not to stray too far from the text when he renders perennial favorites like Psalm 23.
As poetry, then, this book is one of Mitchell's better works. Just don't expect the biblical Psalms.
