Mexico
by James A. Michener
"Astounding...Fast-moving, Intriguing...James Michener is back in huge, familiar form with MEXICO." LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS Here is the story of an American journalist who travels to Mexico to report on the upcoming duel between two great matadors, but who is ultimately swept up in the dramatic story of his Mexican ancestors.

King of the City
by Michael Moorcock
Michael Moorcock, returns with the story of the times and trials of Dennis Dover, former rock guitarist, photojournalist, paparazzo, and loyal denizen of Mother London, and his brilliant, beautiful, and socially conscious cousin, Rosie Beck. Since childhood they have been inseparable, delighting in the daily discoveries of a life with no limits. But now a powerful, unstoppable force that consumes the past indiscriminately, leaving nothing of substance in its wake, threatens the metropolis that nurtured them. The terminator is named John Barbican Begg. A hanger-on from Denny and Rosie's youth, he has become the morally corrupt center of their London, and the richest, most rapacious creature in the Western Hemisphere, with but one goal: to devour the entire world. And their only choices left are to join in, drop out ... or plot to destroy him.

A Place to Call Home
by Deborah Smith
Deborah Smiths is one of the most imaginative and appealing new voices in Southern fiction. In the tradition of Fried Green Tomatoes, the nationally bestselling author offers a deliciously original new novel that will make you laugh one moment and then move you to tears--an irresistible Southern saga that chronicles a love as innocent as a childs and as powerful as that of two star-crossed lovers can be."I planned to be the kind of old Southern lady who talks to her tomato plants and buys sweaters for her cats. Id be deliberately peculiar. Id wear bright red lipstick and tell embarrassing true stories about my family, and people would say, I heard she was always a little funny, if you know what I mean. They wouldnt understand why, and I didnt intend to tell them."At thirty, Claire Maloney knows her life has become a major-league wreck. And she knows why it all started falling apart, too. Because Roan Sullivan was banished from Dunderry, Georgia, twenty years ago, and Claire hasnt heard from him since. She was only ten then, and Roan fifteen, but what happened to the two of them is the stuff of local legend, as vivid and dramatic as anything can be in a small town where people hoard sad stories as carefully as their great-grandmothers china.Back then, Roan Sullivan lived in a trailer amid junked cars and rusted tin cans, while Claire was the willful, pampered young daughter of the towns most respected family. So no one--least of all her parents--understood the bond that tied her to the fierce, motherless boy who had to fight every day for his place in the world. But Roan and Claire didnt choose one another; they belonged together, as involuntarily and permanently as the soil and the seed from which the foxgloves grew on the side of Dunshinnog Mountain. They were simply a part of the place, and a part of each other.Until the dark afternoon when violence and terror overtook them, and Roan disappeared from Claire's life. Now, twenty years later, Claire is adrift, and the Maloneys are still hoping the past can be buried forever under the rich Southern earth. But Roan Sullivan is about to walk back into their lives.By turns tender and sexy and heartbreaking and exuberant, A Place to Call Home is an unforgettable journey between two hearts. It is a book to read, and reread, and cherish. A Place to Call Home has the magic of great storytelling.
An Independent Woman
by Howard Fast
An Independent Woman continues the story of Barbara Lavette, the charismatic heroine of Second Generation, The Establishment, The Legacy, and The Immigrant's Daughter. Gently aging but as strong-willed as ever, she has become the matriarch of the large and powerful Lavette clan, whom everyone turns to for guidance and for the strength of her faith in the human spirit. After years as a liberal journalist, Barbara discovers the joys of a real love when she meets and marries Philip Carter, a Unitarian minister. Yet upon their return home to San Francisco from a romantic honeymoon in Europe and Israel, Barbara faces a test that proves to be more challenging and harrowing than anything that has come before.
