Summary
This whimsical novel, winner of the 1988 Booker Prize, is set in Victorian England and Australia, is the story of two highly unusual people: Oscar Hopkins, rebellious son of a disciplinarian preacher, and Lucinda Leplastrier, an heiress who has just bought a glass factory. The two meet on shipboard, fall in love, and find that they share an attraction for gambling and for risks-a taste that culminates in the precarious conveyance of a crystal church across the rough Australian outback. The novel was made into a major motion picture in 1997 starring Ralph Fiennes and Cate Blanchett.

Enemy Women
by Paulette Jiles
For the Colleys of southeastern Missouri, the War between the States is a plague that threatens devastation, despite the family's avowed neutrality. For eighteen-year-old Adair Colley, it is a nightmare that tears apart her family and forces her and her sisters to flee. The treachery of a fellow traveler, however, brings about her arrest, and she is caged with the criminal and deranged in a filthy women's prison. But young Adair finds that love can live even in a place of horror and despair. Her interrogator, a Union major, falls in love with her and vows to return for her when the fighting is over. Before he leaves for battle, he bestows upon her a precious gift: freedom. Now an escaped "enemy woman," Adair must make her harrowing way south buoyed by a promise ... seeking a home and a family that may be nothing more than a memory.
