Clara -- The matriarch, elusive and mysterious, who foretells family tragedy and shapes the fortunes of the house of the Truebas. Blanca -- Their daughter, soft-spoken yet rebellious, whose shocking love for the son of her father's foreman fuels Esteban's everlasting contempt... even as it produces the grandchild he adores. Alba -- The fruit of Blanca's forbidden love, a luminous bearty, a fiery and willful woman... the family's break with the past and link to the future. From the Paperback edition. The New York Times - Christopher Lehmann-Haupt Extraordinary...powerful...sharply observant, witty and eloquent. Biography Aristocratic Chile is vividly evoked in Isabel Allende’s lyrical novels, in which a family’s past and future is linked inextricably with that of its country’s. A writer whose dreamy, imagistic books transport the reader to another time and place, Allende is considered by many to be the heir to Gabriel García Márquez’s lavish magic realism.

But just when all seems lost, hope arrives in the form of a rumpled New York lawyer named Harry - a soul mate whose generous supply of warmth and compassion more than make up for his shortage of designer duds.

Bohjalian, Chris Skeletons at the Feast
New York Shaye Areheart Books 2008 0307394956 / 9780307394958 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.00. Map endpapers. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 367 pages. Synopsis A masterful love story set against a backdrop of epic history and unforgettable courage In the waning months of World War II, a small group of people begin the longest journey of their lives. At the center is eighteen-year-old Anna, the daughter of Prussian aristocrats, and her first love, a twenty-year-old Scottish prisoner of war named Callum. With his boyish good looks and his dedication to her family, he has captured Anna’s heart. But he is the enemy, and their love must remain a closely guarded secret. Only Manfred, a twenty-six-year-old Wehrmacht corporal, knows the truth. And Manfred, who is not what he seems to be, is reluctantly taken with Anna, just as she finds herself drawn uncomfortably to him. As these unlikely allies work their way west, their flight will test both Anna’s and Callum’s love, as well as their friendship with Manfred–and will forever bind the young trio together. Includes READING GROUP GUIDE. The Washington Post - Margot Livesey Bohjalian's sense of character and place, his skillful plotting and his clear grasp of this confusing period of history make for a deeply satisfying novel, one that asks readers to consider, and reconsider, how they would rise to the challenge of terrible deprivation and agonizing moral choices. Biography: Perhaps the San Francisco Chronicle said it best: "Bohjalian's hallmark: ordinary people in heartbreaking circumstances behaving with grace and dignity." Since the selection of his dark novel Midwives for Oprah's Book Club back in 1998, Bohjalian has enjoyed mainstream success as one of today's most poignant novelists.

Brown, Rita Mae Alma Mater
Ballantine Books 2001 034542820X / 9780345428202 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
We would have rated this book as-new if not for a slight bumping of the top corners. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $24.00 - 260 pages - From the bestselling author of Rubyfruit Jungle comes an erotic and heartfelt new novel of sexual awakening, family loyalty, and unexpected first love. Everyone on the William & Mary campus knows Victoria "Vic" Savedge. The six-foot-tall, raven-haired beauty can hardly blend into the cobblestones? especially on the arm of Charly Harrison, the school's football star and son of one of Virginia's most prominent families. Now, at the start of her senior year, Vic's future is mapped out in detail, courtesy of her mother, R.J., and her aunt Bunny. The plan is simple: Vic will marry Charly and settle into the role of a well-respected politician's wife. Though bright and branded by a fiery streak of independence, Vic hasn't really considered any other options. Until she meets a woman named Chris. A transfer from Vermont, Chris is new to Southern mores and attitudes. Instantly captivated by Vic's beauty and larger-than-life personality, she finds herself drawn to the entire quirky but charming Savedge family. But the young women's friendship is not your basic college-girl variety. For neither can resist their mutual attraction—an attraction that erupts into a passion that will forever change the course of both their lives. To embrace her true sexuality and sacrifice happiness with a man whom she truly loves are the wrenching decisions that Vic must face. It is a struggle at once terrifying and exhilarating. Just when she makes up her mind, she discovers that fate has its own surprising plan awaiting in the wings. In her inimitable fashion, Rita Mae Brown brings to life plucky Southern sensibilities and characters grappling with profound emotional issues. A young woman's sudden, intense knowledge of herself—and all the conflicts and physical joys that it entails—are the backbone of this bold and tender love story.

Brown, Sandra Not Even for Love
Warner Books Inc 2003 0446531626 / 9780446531627 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Hardcover Printing. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. - Sandra Brown, author of fifty New York Times bestsellers, is known for creating gripping love stories filled with insight and emotion. Here she explores the conflict facing a young woman abroad who's torn between two men -- one who wants her to be his wife and one who wants her to be his lover. On the surface, Jordan Hadlock has it all. A great job managing the English newsstand in the old quarter of Lucerne, Switzerland. And rich and renowned Swiss industrialist Helmut Eckherdt intent on marrying her, even though she hasn't said yes. What more could she ask for? A clap of thunder and a pounding on her door soon give her an answer. Reeves Grant appears seeking shelter from a sudden downpour, but the real storm is inside Jordan and the passion they share that night. The next morning he disappears without a trace. Still reeling from the encounter, Jordan plays hostess at Helmut's lavish dinner party, where she receives two more shocks. Helmut announces that he and Jordan are to be wed -- at the very same moment she spies Reeves Grant snapping pictures of the event and her new "fiancé." Now Jordan is moving toward the altar with a man she likes but doesn't love. And working on a feature of the wealthy Helmut -- often only inches away from her -- is photojournalist Reeves Grant, bringing with him all the memories of the emotions she felt one special night, emotions she can't help reliving whenever he is near. In Not Even for Love, Sandra Brown, as always, captures the wild fluctuations between doubt and desire in complex relationships...as she offers us the engrossing tale of a woman who must learn to trust her instincts to discover exactly who she is and what she wants.

Brown, Sandra Thursday's Child

Like-new copy- Appears unread. Price inside dustcover: $19.95. January 2002 printing - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. 209 pages. Allison Leamon knew that pretending to be her identical twin sister was a bad idea. For although the two redheads looked exactly alike, they couldn’t be more different. How could a no-nonsense scientist like Allison possibly fool anyone into thinking that she was the bubbly, vivacious Annie?Trading her sensible shoes for strappy sandals, her eyeglasses for contacts, and her lab smock for a chiffon dress, Allison was determined to try her best. Her first challenge was a dinner date with Annie’s fiancé, Davis. But what Allison didn’t expect was the presence of Davis’s best friend. Allison was far too logical to believe in love at first sight, but there was nothing logical about the way she was responding to Spencer Raft. The dark-haired, blue-eyed mystery man had an assurance that Allison found positively maddening.And by the end of the evening, she couldn’t help feeling that Spencer had been attracted to a carefully constructed illusion. She was certain that the handsome adventurer wouldn’t give her a second look if he knew her as she really was.But Spencer Raft was a man of many talents — and seeing below the surface of things was one of them. He sensed the flesh-and-blood woman beneath the elaborate charade, and after years of wandering the world in search of excitement, he knew he had finally found what he had been looking for.But first this incurable romantic had to convince an intractable skeptic that there was more to lovethan what she could study in a laboratory. And what better way than to propose a passionate experiment of his own?On board his yacht, Spencer and Allison would fulfill their wildest fantasies and deepest desires; but when their blissful idyll was over, would it all prove to be no more than a pleasant interlude — or the real thing?

Cameron, Stella The Orphan
New York, New York, U.S.A. Mira Books 2002 1551668831 / 9781551668833 Mass Market Paperback Very Good + 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
Very-good+, clean copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Covers are clean and bright, show light wear (NO tears). 395 pages. From Publishers Weekly Set in 1823, Cameron's newest historical romance (after 7B) revisits the clutch of characters who wrestle with both danger and true love in the London town house of 7 Mayfair Square. Crabby ghost Sir Spivey has schemed with mixed results to rid his home of paying boarders, and this time his victim is Latimer More, known as "the Most Daring Lover in England." Latimer has set his sights on Jenny McBride, a spirited millinery assistant who Latimer believes will happily become "his unquestioning supporter in every decision, every endeavor" when he marries her and rescues her from poverty. Irrationally, Jenny resists Latimer's overtures because she believes he will be repelled when he learns of her oily landlord's plot to sell her to a wealthy patron. Characters from the earlier Mayfair Square adventures put in their two cents and Jenny's landlord continues his stalking, but the focus remains on Latimer and Jenny's romantic fireworks, which culminate in a sensual grand finale that showcases Latimer's virility. By far one of the strongest entries in this disjointed series, Cameron's latest boasts tight plotting and consistent characterizations. Even a few loose ends such as Jenny's unhappiness that she must leave her millinery job upon her marriage do not tarnish the overall shine of this polished romance.

Carey, Peter Oscar and Lucinda
HarperCollins 1988 0060159081 / 9780060159085 Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Very-good, clean copy. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $18.95. Tight spine, clean pages. Pages show light tanning. Dustcover shows light wear (NO tears). First page in book shows 1 small, closed tear at bottom edge (blank area). NO other tears inside book. NO writing or marks inside book. 433 pages. Straw-colored boards with metallic-copper lettering (clean and bright). Synopsis The Booker Prize-winning novel - now a major motion picture from Fox Searchlight Pictures. This sweeping, irrepressibly inventive novel, is a romance, but a romance of the sort that could only take place in nineteenth-century Australia. For only on that sprawling continent a haven for misfits of both the animal and human kingdoms could a nervous Anglican minister who gambles on the instructions of the Divine become allied with a teenaged heiress who buys a glassworks to help liberate her sex. And only the prodigious imagination of Peter Carey could implicate Oscar and Lucinda in a narrative of love and commerce, religion and colonialism, that culminates in a half-mad expedition to transport a glass church across the Outback. Biography: One of our most acclaimed authors, two-time Booker Prize winner Peter Carey s novels temper feats of imagination and language with a solid grounding in history and literature. Through his novels, many of which re-imagine the peopling and history of his native Australia, Carey has garnered renown as a novelist who can write about important subjects in a voice both readable and distinctly challenging.
