Beginner's
Greek: A Novel by James Collins
What a wonderful love story this is. It begins with love at first sight and takes the reader on a tumultuous trip tas the main characters find each other again. The characters are fascinating, good and bad, altruistic and selfish, they all seem interesting- people you would like to know! |
The
Disappearance of Irene Dos Santos by Margaret
Mascarenhas
In most novels a surprise ending seems like a speedy exit- or a tricky re-interpretation of the truth as the reader has come to know it. Does the reader re-read? Or accept the clever twist that allows the ending? In this novel the stories that make up the eight primary books of the novel are as independent as short stories. |
I
Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti by Giulia
Melucci
Not only do I often seek comfort in the form of calories, I’m pretty sure that spaghetti is proof of a benevolent Higher Power somewhere in the universe. Fortunately, Melucci has more than just a good title. |
The
Blue Hour: A Life of Jean Rhys by Lilian
Pizzichini
Jean Rhys’ biography, The Blue Hour: A Life of Jean Rhys, written by the British biographer Lillian Pizzichini, torments the reader with its rawness. |
Emily’s
Ghost by Denise Giardina
Emily’s reality is her family, her home, and the ghosts she hears in the graveyard and on the moors. |
