Olive Kitteridge
by
Strout, Elizabeth
At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive's own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse. |

The Blue Notebook
by
Levine, James
How could a doctor and medical researcher at the Mayo Clinic capture the hidden life of a 15 year-old Indian prostitute? Levine's fictional journal (The Blue Notebook) of a literate sex-slave, reveals a life few could imagine and is a testimony to the power of youthful imagination to escape an intolerable reality. This raw depiction of one child's life, symbolic of a world-wide child abuse problem, will leave you gasping.--Darwin Ellis, Books On The Common (Ridgefield, CT) |
