Zadie Smith

Random House Inc. 06/01/2001. 448 pgs. An Englishman, Archie Jones, and a Bengali Muslim named Samad Iqbal, who first met after World War II in Turkey, encounter each other again 30 years later in the North-West London neighborhood where they live with their families. The daughter of Archie and his Jamaican wife falls in love with Samad's radical fundamentalist son. Archie's sister-in-law is a fervent Jehovah's witness. Samad is plagued by guilt over his affair with his children's schoolteacher. And a nearby Jewish family tries to interfere in their lives. In a stew of often competing multicultural elements, Archie, Samad, and their families struggle to find their identities amid the complexities of the 1970s.

10) The Foretelling
Alice Hoffman

Little Brown & Co. 09/07/2005. 168 pgs. In this powerful, mystical young adult novel imbued with magical underpinnings, teenage Rain finds that her own path diverges from what her fierce Amazon tribe expects of her. A tribe of powerful warrior women who ride horses and keep bees on the steppes near the Black Sea, the Amazons must often defend their territory, and battle is a way of life. For Alina, the forceful queen, her yellow-eyed daughter is the living memory of a brutal rape, and she cannot bear to look at Rain, much less raise her. While Rain is groomed to be the next queen by priestesses and warriors, she struggles with a prophecy she fears and longs to change. Rain's stormy and wild coming-of-age story will speak to teens everywhere. Originally published at $16.99 You save 94% off the cover price!
