The Claudine Novels (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)
Penguin USA. 06/01/1995. Reprint. 560 pgs. According to a possibly apocryphal story, Colette's first husband locked her in a room until she had finished a novella, and the result was the CLAUDINE AT SCHOOL, her first published work. The book, depicting the often risqué adventures of a rebellious young woman--a free spirit in search of experience--was a sensational success in turn-of-the-century Paris. Its sequels following Claudine into the world of adulthood were equally popular, inspiring a line of Claudine clothing, ice cream, chocolates, cigarettes, and toiletries.

Delta Wedding (Harvest Book Ser.)
Harcourt. 03/01/1979. Set on a plantation in Mississippi as Dabney Fairchild prepares for her wedding, Eudora Welty's 1945 novel portrays the daily dramas of a large and diverse Southern clan. It's a hot, sultry summer day in 1923, and as the family gathers for the ceremony, Welty provides not only a clear-eyed and humorous portrait of a cross-section of characters, but also a sharp-eyed look at the American South, in all its socially rigid, tradition-obsessed complexity. Most of all, she takes the reader into the landscape of the Mississippi delta, an area Welty knew intimately and wrote about all her life--but perhaps never so tellingly as in this early novel.

Only Twice I've Wished for Heaven
Random House Inc. 03/01/1998. This story of love, revenge, and murder takes place in 1975 and is told from the point of view of Tempestt Saville, an 11-year-old girl whose family has just been chosen by lottery to "move on up" to Lakeland: one square mile of rich, black soil carved out of a Chicago ghetto. Only an ivy-covered, wrought-iron fence separates this haven for elite black urban professionals from the housing projects and row upon row of battered brownstones on the other side. Temmy finds this second landscape more intriguing and is a clear-eyed witness to the flavorful contrasts, the social ambiguities, and the tragic ironies separating the two cultures.

$3.00 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $1.00 for each additional book from this seller)! Anchor, 17-Feb-98. Ex-Library. Trade Paperback. Very good. Library stamps on edges, light wear & corner bend on laminated cover. \nA secret lies at the heart of Only Twice I've Wished for Heaven, a coming-of-age story by first-time novelist Dawn Turner Trice. Set in Chicago in the mid-1970s, Ms. Trice's novel details several months in the life of Tempestt Rose Saville, an 11-year-old girl transplanted from her beloved southside neighborhood to Lakeland, an upscale oasis surrounded by urban wasteland. The price one pays to live in this "one square mile of ivory towers, emerald green grass, and pruned oaks and willows," is to join the black bourgeoisie, a class Ms. Turner describes as making "the Stepford Wives look like the rainbow coalition," and "about as individual as curds in white milk." \n\nTempestt may be young, but she's no fool; she hates the place from day one and soon escapes outside the fence that separates Lakeside from 35th Street, the unreclaimed ghetto outside her window. It is on 35th Street that she meets the novel's second narrator, Miss Jonetta Goode, a woman with a past. The street is also where the seminal event in young Tempestt's life occurs: the death of her school friend Valerie, a girl with one foot on 35th Street and the other in Lakeside. Ms. Turner's novel is well-written and from the heart, but many of its characters and situations seem familiar--the stock inventory of coming-of-age novels. Even the novel's secret fails to resonate--perhaps because the reader has guessed it long before Tempestt herself does. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. \n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\nNarrated from a distance of 20 years, this powerful debut novel re-creates the month that changed the life of a sheltered African American girl, 11-year-old Tempestt "Temmy" Saville, initiating her into the violence and rage her middle-class family thought they had escaped. In Chicago in 1975, Temmy witnesses the death of her best friend. Narrating the tale along with grown-up Temmy is 60-ish Miss Jonetta Goode, a big-hearted former prostitute who keeps watch over the fragile souls on Thirty-fifth Street from behind her counter in O'Cala Food and Drug. Temmy encounters Miss Jonetta and the hellishly fascinating Thirty-fifth Street by escaping Lakeland, the fenced-in enclave of black professionals where her family lives. Sensing that something is bothering her friend, Valerie, who lives part-time in Lakeland with her father and stays the rest of the week with her mother in the projects, Temmy inspires Jonetta to deputize two O'Cala regulars to observe Valerie and her mother. They discover that Ruth has been selling Valerie to men to finance her drug habit. The information comes too late to save Valerie. Temmy, the only witness to her friend's death, is frozen into silence, unable to speak up when a disreputable street preacher is accused and convicted of the girl's murder. Trice creates vibrant characters via the counterpointed voices of Temmie and Jonetta. As each interprets events within the range of her knowledge and expectations, Trice obliquely provides insight into the crucial social issues that help shape the lives of African Americans. \nCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Mister Posterior and the Genius Child
Berkley Pub Group. 12/01/2002. 296 pgs. Vanessa Brick is a student at an experimental school in Cambridge in the 1970s. In her precocious way, she writes a play about buttocks--her seemingly harmless obsession--and gets in trouble for it. Then a flasher starts stalking the neighborhood, and Vanessa finds that life, and the naked human body, and the process of growing up, are all a bit more complicated than she had thought.

$3.50 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $0.25 for each additional book from this seller)! Berkley Books, 2002. Near-new copy - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - 296 pages - It's amazing that any of us arrives at adulthood in a relatively healthy mental state. School bullies, turncoat friends, and troubled teachers -- not to mention confused parents struggling with their own problems -- should surely take their toll on a child's fragile ego. In her amusing yet heartbreaking debut, Emily Jenkins takes us on a tour of the crazy, threatening world of adolescence, seen through the eyes of eight-year-old Vanessa Brick. The year is 1970, and Vanessa lives with her mother, a well-meaning if not always wise single mom, and attends a progressive private school. But her school isn't exactly a safe haven: Teachers assemble their charges into a Circle of Sharing, urging them to talk about their feelings. And in one of the novel's early scenes, a classmate shoves Vanessa against a wall and moons her, foreshadowing a series of more sinister episodes. Sadly, Vanessa has few places to turn for help. Her mother is wrapped up in a search for a boyfriend, her teachers make her feel uncomfortable, and her friends are having their own growing pains. Ultimately, Vanessa begins acting out in a surprising way -- and for a while, no one can figure out what's provoking her behavior. It's not giving too much away to say that Vanessa ultimately makes it through this strange and scary year. But what readers will remember most about Mister Posterior is the charming little girl Emily Jenkins has created. Vanessa's youthful ability to just plain cope makes this tale a delightful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. (more information)
