Don't miss these two new releases by authors that you know well...and if you don't, you'll appreciate the introduction! Both books can be ordered directly from the blog by clicking on the Amazon Search Box in the sidebar.
The Children Act by Ian McEwan
The Children Act is McEwan at his finest, provoking questions of morality and issues of marriage in this slip of a book. Through Fiona, a family court judge, the reader is introduced to rich characters and a gripping story, as Fiona must decide whether to save the life of a seventeen-year-old boy refusing a blood transfusion because of religion. |
DARING By Gail Sheehy
The journalist who brought us PASSAGES, a landmark look at the key transitions of life—recalls her own remarkable journey in an engaging new memoir, DARING. Sheehy traces her struggles as a single mother, her trailblazing work as a writer for New York magazine and her romance with (and eventual marriage to) charismatic editor Clay Felker. Throughout it all, Sheehy writes, she dared to accept new challenges, tapping her passion and resilience to endure her own "passages."
