Shreve, Susan Richards Queen of Hearts
Simon & Schuster 1986 0671601024 / 9780671601027 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Fine Condition. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 354 pages. Library Journal The ``queen of hearts'' is Francesca Woodbine, a beautiful folksinger from a small New England town whose songs uncannily mirror the human soul. Her talent is based not so much on second sight (her grandmother was a fortune teller) as on her own experiences. Ten years earlier, she killed her unfaithful fiance, and the unsolved murder has so poisoned the life of the town that it threatens Francesca not only with exposure but with death. Shreve has created a real-life ``Our Town'' in Bethany, replete not only with all the hometown virtues but with the undercurrents of violence, sexuality, and madness to be found in a small and inbred community. This is a spellbinding novel, rich in depth and vivid characterization; highly recommended. BOMC alternate. Shelley Cox, Special Collections, Southern Illinois

Shreve, Susan Richards The Train Home
New York, New York, U.S.A. Doubleday 1993 0385423578 / 9780385423571 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $19.00. 263 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis With The Train Home, Susan Richards Shreve departs from the sweep of her previous novel, the acclaimed Daughters of the New World, to tell a poignant story of love, unlikely and triumphant. Two people meet by chance on a Washington subway. Annie Blakemore, an aspiring opera singer with a romantic imagination, two delightful children, and a husband made bitter and abusive by an automobile accident, becomes obsessed with a handsome priest she sees on the train. Knowing that her pursuit of a stranger is irrational, but intuiting that there is something right about it too, Annie follows him, little realizing that he is not what he seems. For Will Huston is not a priest at all, but an Irish actor in disguise, out to find and punish the man responsible for his young brother's death. As their paths cross, we begin to realize that, impossible as it may seem, their futures lie in each other. The Train Home is a novel that celebrates the magic inherent in the brief encounter and, if the disguises fall away, the possibility for love in a difficult world. It is a touching and beautiful work by an extraordinary writer who has that rare and special ability to keep us spellbound by the wonder of a marvelous story. Annotation A chance encounter on a subway transports two people in an acclaimed love story by the author of Daughters of the New World. On the D.C. Metro, Annie Blakemore saw a handsome priest and followed him. He turned out to be an actor in disguise. "Magical. . . . A quirky, obsessive tale."--The New York Times Book Review. LG Alternate.
