Dear Ms. Woods-
All I can say is, wow. My mother first introduced me to your work when I
was in seventh grade when she handed me a copy of DOMINA. From that moment I finished it I
was anxious to devour the rest of your work. I thought I had, until recently. I was
visiting a nearby town recently and I stopped by their library. Of course, I scanned the
W's looking for your name, when I came across THE PROPHETESS. I immediately whipped out my
library card and checked it out and am currently on page 89. And am anxious to finish the
other novels I was unaware you had penned.
All of your work has been monumentaly influential in my life. As an 18-year-old who is
struggling with the never-ending decisions that accompany impending college life, it is so
amazing to be able to escape to the world of your novels. The way you weave your
stories...I can feel the Egyptian sands, smell the Kenyan soil, and see the Australian
sunset. Your books have allowed me to travel to places that my checkbook (and my parents)
will not permit!
My personal favorite was GREEN CITY IN THE SUN. I read it for the first time in eighth
grade and again as a sophomore. Although VIRGINS OF PARADISE is a very close second.
I always wondered if you had heard of Wilbur Smith? Often times as I'm reading his work
I see fragments of your influence (or is it the other way around?). Regardless, he is
another of my favorite authors whose books I crave.
Well, enough of my rambling...I just wanted to thank you for sharing your talent with
us and to beg you to provide us with more!

I hope you received my recent email thanking you for your wonderful letter and
beautiful bookmark. I didn't know until I visited your website that you also love cats.
I'm eagerly waiting for your next book. Believe it or not, I think I've read all your
books that I could get my hands on.

My mother-in-law, two Aunts, and friends galore really enjoy reading your books.....our
first and still favorite is: Virgins of Paradise, by far the best! I still
have three to read, and am firmly of the belief that these are definitely
girls books.....my husband read only one, your latest hard cover in black and
gold, but did not like it?! I will read it myself and see if it is just a gal's
thing, or what!

Dear Barbara,
First I would like to tell you that I absolutely love your books. I am currently
reading the French version of A secret affair - Un amour secret. I cannot help
myself, I have to bring something to your attention: The French version is filled with
spelling, typing and gramatical mistakes. I am a translator/revisor (in Quebec, Canada)
and I think that it is totally unacceptable, especially for a writer of your calibre.
Of course, I still enjoy reading it but my professional eye blinks more than often
because of this inconvenience.
Best regards,

Barbara Wood- I would just like to say that I am a huge fan of your work. I especially
loved Domina, the first one I read. The Dreaming was a close runner up.
Thank You for taking the time to write such great literature.

Am I very slow, or is Barbara Wood Kathryn Harvey? I LOVED
Butterfly and Stars. If you are in fact her, are the books that
you write under Woods in the same style of writing? Could someone please email
me with the answer. Thanks in advance....... Kylee

I found Virgins of Paradise on my bookshelf, not even remembering buying it! Talk about
serendipity! I finished it on July 4th, and brought it to a party that night because
someone else had to read it so I could talk to them about it! I read the prophetess the
next day as I recovered from my hangover. For me, discovering a great author is like
discovering gold. I can't wait to read all of your other books.

I came across the book Domina at a small hotel in Rome on a bookshelf in
the lobby. I asked if I could buy it and was told that I could have it, as previous
visitors left books they had read so others could enjoy them. I was just thrilled!. I read
it and enjoyed it very much. Since my return home to the US, I have found and read
Vital Signs and The Dreaming and am looking for others. I found
them fascinating.

Dear Barbara,
I'm delighted to have access to the Internet so that I can write these lines to
you.Please excuse me for my mistakes. I'm a french speaking girl who learned english
recently.I've read all your books that I can put my hands on and every time, it's a
wonderful experience.From Domina to Perfect Harmony (which I'm currently reading), with
The Prophetess, Green City in the Sun and the Australian lady, It's like travelling
through times and spaces.I pray God (I'm christian) so that he continues to bless you and
bless your work, as He did, obviously.
I've never read books like yours. I swear. every time I get in a library, I check yours
first And I thank God for the English language I understand, so that I can read your books
at the source.
I'll check your little library to discover your other treasures!
May the Lord bless you Barbara
Emeline.

I loved Green City and Dreaming. You are my female Michner! I always hated history
classes but loved studying culture. Through your novels, I can experience culture and get
just enough history to move the plot. I truly enjoy your novels and look forward to
reading this new title about China. Will it fill in the gaps that the Joy Luck novels
created?
I'm Swedish. Any chance you will be writing something about the land of the midnight
sun?
Keep 'em coming. Thanks
Lynn Moc

Dear Ms. Wood, 6-28-98 I just finished reading Perfect Harmony (at 3 A.M.).
You should know that I also started reading it yesterday. As with all of your books, I
couldn't put it down from the beginning. It was excellent. When I start a book, if I am
not interested in it after the first 20 pages I put it down. As always, with your books,
you have me hooked on the 1st or 2nd page.Anyhow, this book is up there with my two other
favorites : Virgins of Paradise and The Dreaming. Thank you for you books. I look forward
to your next one. Wendy Bar
