 stock image, actual book may vary From beloved international reporter sne Seierstad comes a remarkable exploration of the lives of ordinary Serbs under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic-during the dramatic events leading up to his fall, and finally in the troubled years that have followed. Seierstad traveled extensively through Serbia between 1999 and 2004, following the lives of people from across the political spectrum. Her moving and perceptive account follows nationalists, Titoists, Yugonostalgics, rock stars, fugitives, and poets. Seierstad brings her acclaimed attention to detail to bear on the lives of those whom she encounters in With Their Backs to the World , as she creates a kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation made up of so many different-and often conflicting-hopes, dreams, and points of view.

 stock image, actual book may vary Will Self is a novelist of world-class stature, an unparalleled literary craftsman with a ferocious insight. In How the Dead Live, he gives us his best and most important book yet, an incisive and troubling dissection of the spiritual emptiness and death in our culture. Lily Bloom is an aging American in final-stage cancer in the Royal Ear Hospital in Central London. Not that there's anything wrong with her ears -- it's just the only bed they could find for her. As her two daughters buzz around her and the nurses pump her full of morphine, Lily slides in and out of consciousness, outraged that there's so little time left and so much hate still to go around. In her delirium she rails against everything, from the sins of those in the immediate proximity to the world at large, viewed through the lens of her paranoid bigotry. In the corner of the ward sits an impassive, middle-aged Aboriginal Australian man, who from time to time reminds Lily that it will be his responsibility to ferry her across the Styx, and that in lieu of a coin, he'll happily accept her dentures. How the Dead Live is an unforgettable portrait of the human struggle with mortality. In it, Will Self has given us a book that will change the way we talk about death, a novel that, like Underworld or Mason Dixon, will be a literary sensation remembered for years to come.

But he soon discovered that the dispirited girl who plodded behind her uncle's wagon was actually a captivating young woman, and as she almost literally blossomed before his eyes, he found it more and more difficult to think of her as someone he couldn't be interested in. And he couldn't be interested in her. He hadn't rescued her from her uncle, only to ruin her life, himself. He'd bought her to save her, and save her he would, no matter what it entailed..

 stock image, actual book may vary Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic. To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.

 stock image, actual book may vary The Murder of J. Edgar Hoover On May 1, 1972, J Edgar Hoover drove home after a full day's work, satisfied that another May Day had passed and, thanks to his singular effort, America had not fallen before the communist juggernaut. He had dinner with his ailing associate, Clyde Tolsen, and spent the next thirty minutes rough-housing with his dogs on the rear lawn of his suburban Washington home. He retired early. And died peacefully in his sleep. OR DID HE ? Patrick Desmond, a young architect living the good life in 1970's Boston, comes into an inheritance that hurtles him from his "yuppie" life style into the perilous world of political intrigue. A week after J. Edgar Hoover's death, Patrick's uncle--Francis X. Cavanaugh, Inspector, FBI--and another high-level bureau executive die under the most unusual circumstances. Patrick's inheritance: Inspector Cavanaugh's journal detailing deceit and betrayal at the highest levels of the United States government. AND SOMEONE WANTS THIS JOURNAL ENOUGH TO KILL FOR IT This novel touches on many of the events that fractured the social and political structure of America during the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations and reveals that J. Edgar Hoover had more potential assassins than Abraham Lincoln. Inspector Cavanaugh is involved in investigations into the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., the Black Power movement, New Orleans DA Jim Garrison's "Truth of Consequences" grand jury, religious fundamentalism, a FBI agent that might be a serial killer, a SSS board that refused to induct draftees, a FBI agent driven berserk by his wife's poodle, the cult murders of a couple and their three daughters, the torture-murder of a Black Panther member by the Ladies Auxilliary, and mass murders and deportations of young blacks by the Ku Klux Klan's secret "Silver Dollar Club." As Patrick sets off on a picaresque flight through Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington and California to solve the FBI murders and perhaps save his own life, he establishes a long queue of possible assassins including the Ku Klux Klan, Hoover's domestic staff, the FBI, the CIA, the Nixon White House, students of the New Left, Catholic priests, renegade Mormons and others.

 stock image, actual book may vary An elegantly written comedy of manners, constructed around serious ideas ideas jovially and sometimes outrageously explored by a group of civilized people. . . .It has been a long time since so much sparkling, quirky talk has appeared in an American novel. . . .This novel is a pure, a rare delight. Eugenia Thornton, Cleveland Plain Dealer Shines with elusive insights about persons we recognize at once as acquaintances and friends, caught briefly in events that are part of their upper-class life, part of their inevitable sexual prisons, part of their middle age. To be able to say consistently interesting things about these embroilments class, sex, age is a triumph for a novelist. Cynthia Propper Seton has pulled off just such a triumph.

 stock image, actual book may vary In Rise to Rebellion , bestselling author Jeff Shaara captured the origins of the American Revolution as brilliantly as he depicted the Civil War in Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure . Now he continues the amazing saga of how thirteen colonies became a nation, taking the conflict from kingdom and courtroom to the bold and bloody battlefields of war. It was never a war in which the outcome was obvious. Despite their spirit and stamina, the colonists were outmanned and outfought by the brazen British army. General George Washington found his troops trounced in the battles of Brooklyn and Manhattan and retreated toward Pennsylvania. With the future of the colonies at its lowest ebb, Washington made his most fateful decision: to cross the Delaware River and attack the enemy. The stunning victory at Trenton began a saga of victory and defeat that concluded with the British surrender at Yorktown, a moment that changed the history of the world. The despair and triumph of America s first great army is conveyed in scenes as powerful as any Shaara has written, a story told from the points of view of some of the most memorable characters in American history. There is George Washington, the charismatic leader who held his army together to achieve an unlikely victory; Charles Cornwallis, the no-nonsense British general, more than a match for his colonial counterpart; Nathaniel Greene, who rose from obscurity to become the finest battlefield commander in Washington s army; The Marquis de Lafayette, the young Frenchman who brought a soldier s passion to America; and Benjamin Franklin, a brilliant man of science and philosophy who became the finest statesman of his day. From Nathan Hale to Benedict Arnold, William Howe to Light Horse Harry Lee, from Trenton and Valley Forge, Brandywine and Yorktown, the American Revolution s most immortal characters and poignant moments are brought to life in remarkable Shaara style. Yet, The Glorious Cause is more than just a story of the legendary six-year struggle. It is a tribute to an amazing people who turned ideas into action and fought to declare themselves free. Above all, it is a riveting novel that both expands and surpasses its beloved author
