| | 1. |  | Old Filth
from Europa Editions
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I totally agree with all the superlatives heaped on this wonderful book. Usually I don't take the time to write a review unless I have something original to contribute, but since this is the best book I've read this year, I just had to add another positive to those already written.

| | 2. |  | The People on Privilege Hill
from Chatto & Windus
Customer Review:
Memories, and in many cases, the memories of the aged, infuse this collection of fourteen stories with surprises. Author Jane Gardam, two-time winner of the Whitbread Prize, creates ironies and absurdities for her readers, at the same time that she creates poignant and often moving scenes. Filled... more info

| | 3. |  | The Queen of the Tambourine
from Europa Editions
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Like reading a novel in dialect, I often have an adjustment during the opening pages - or the first few letters - of an epistolary novel. If I had not absolutely loved "Old Filth" I may not have tried "Queen of the Tamborine", but I did, so I did. Thank heavens. It is breathtakingly well written and... more info

| | 4. |  | Faith Fox: A Novel
from Carroll & Graf
Price: $12.76
Customer Review:
I loved this book. It features a tangled mess of people and portrays the insanity of families very well. It's funny and sad and very enjoyable. I loved the characters and the way they all spoke. By the end, I felt as if I knew them all, they seemed so real.
While the book title refers to the... more info

from Little Brown and Company
Customer Review:
This is a a beautifully written, quiet and introspective novel. It is the first-person narrative of a homely and eccentric girl who, having grown up in a cloistered house on the grounds of the boys' school of which her father was headmaster, is preparing to leave for college. I often found myself... more info

| | 7. |  | Long Way from Verona (Abacus Books)
from Little Brown UK
Customer Review:
It's one of those rare books that began as a children's tale and ended up considerably adult 30-some years down the line. This happens to a great many children's books over time. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland", and others all began with kids as the intended... more info
