$3.00 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $1.00 for each additional book from this seller)! Arte Publico Press, 2000. Ex-Library. Trade Paperback. Good. Light bend on laminated cover, library stamp on edge From Publishers Weekly: Havana-born Rivera an author of the well-received Midnight Sandwiches at the Mariposa ExpressAreaffirms her reputation with this innovative allegory on the pitfalls of human vice and the redemptive power of literature. The story takes place in two settingsAone in present-day, upper-class Miami, where Rebecca Atkins, n?e Barrios, decides to start a book discussion circle with several women friends (a character from Rivera's previous novel makes an appearance here), and one in the past, in historical 19th-century Cuba among the wealthy Santa Cruz family, factory owners in the lucrative garment industry and their toiling workers. The various Cubans immerse themselves in books as a means, depending on their circumstances, of transformation, amusement or escape from harsh realities. The expertly handled twist is that the historical characters are reading the story of the Miami characters and vice versa. Eventually, the two worlds collide, leaving the reader dazzled by the implications. This clever device allows Rivera to present sharp social satire and expose a variety of ethical issues ranging from slavery and exploitation of workers, to sexism, adultery, eating disorders and the destructive search for bodily perfection. Unraveling and exploring the parallels among the sets of characters adds an entertaining dimension to the narrative. As the characters endeavor to reconstruct themselves (changing names, dieting and bingeing, etc.), Rivera also makes an incisive statement about the constructed realities and projections of authors and readers. At times, Rivera tries too hard to reinforce links to time and identity, bombarding readers with heavy-handed clues; at other times she succeeds by introducing chapters with intriguing quotes from literary and political figures. An inventive, provocative oddity, this is a tantalizing work that draws readers into an engrossing twilight world. (Sept.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.\n\nFrom Library Journal\nFans of the Cuban-born Rivera's Midnight Sandwiches at the Mariposa Express will be delighted with her latest novel. Set alternately in contemporary Miami and Havana a century ago, the story interweaves the lives and fates of several generations of women. Using the idea of a tertuliaDa women's gatheringDRivera captures the energy and confusion of dozens of voices talking at once. She also catches the essence of the frustration and restlessness that briefly pulls a group of Cuban American women together for a reading group and ultimately pushes them apart again. As the Miami women wish for the passions found in a story of 19th-century Havana, their fictional counterparts dream of the bright future world of Miami. Jealousy, revolution, resignation, and hope leap between the centuries, bringing no new answers but still changing lives. Recommended for fiction collections of all libraries.DJan Blodgett, Davidson Coll. Lib., NC Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. ISBN: 1558853103. (more information)

The Lincoln Lawyer: A Novel
Little Brown & Co. 10/01/2005. 404 pgs. Although fans of Michael Connelly's popular and critically praised Harry Bosch series won't find their favorite police detective in this legal thriller, they'll enjoy getting to know the half-brother Harry's never met, California defense lawyer Mickey Haller, who runs his office out of his Lincoln Town Car. Mickey doesn't worry too much about the actual guilt or innocence of his disreputable clientele. Instead, he prefers to concentrate on locating the loopholes in the prosecution's case and keeping an eye on his bottom line. Mickey's priorities undergo a radical shift--too late, perhaps--when he manages to land a rich client accused of assaulting a woman at a bar, and discovers that the apparently slam-dunk case has an extremely unpleasant price tag attached to it.

Rumpole and the Reign of Terror (Rumpole Novels)
Penguin USA. 11/16/2006. 184 pgs. In the second Rumpole novel by Sir John Mortimer, beloved London barrister Horace Rumpole tackles Britain's Anti-Terror Act. When Rumpole takes on the defense of a Pakistani doctor accused of terrorism his reputation suffers so badly that even his most loyal clients, the larcenous Timson family, stop associating with him. Unable to attract any other business, Rumpole finds himself financially strapped, and ethically troubled. Is he defending a terrorist? Is the Anti-Terror Act worthwhile or inherently unpatriotic? RUMPOLE AND THE REIGN OF TERROR features much of the what readers and television viewers have come to love from Rumpole: an amiable and humorous attitude, a world-famous cross examination technique, and a healthy distrust of easily obtained conclusions. However, beneath the surface this is a deft and thought-provoking perspective on the tenuous veneer of justice that is in constant danger of being swept away.
