Media Reviews
"Not everyone will enjoy EASTER's dangerous mixture of liturgy, lyricism and Manichaean satire. I think it is Arditti's masterpiece and one of the first important English novels of the century." -- Damian Thompson
-- Literary Review
"Arditti...is better at sex than at religion. The parts dealing with the physicality and anxieties of love, with homosexuality and HIV, are well written and vibrant; many of the churchy passages are as dull as the sermons they include. As a darkly comic novel EASTER succeeds; but in its rather sincere treatment of the big themes...it lacks a necessary lightness of touch. There is too much gospel in this modern novel."
-- Times Literary Supplement

Summer at Fairacre
by Read
After a long winter of red noses and wet mittens, summer is a welcome time for Miss Read and her downland village friends. SUMMER AT FAIRACRE charmingly recounts this bright, bustling season and the problems and possibilities that unfold against the background of roses, skylarks, and bees. Joseph Coggs finds a temporary home in the schoolhouse while his mother is in the hospital. Miss Read's friend Amy mysteriously disappears. Perhaps most difficult of all, Mrs. Pringle, the grumpy school cleaner, is unable to work because the pain in her bad leg flares up. Still, the sounds of children playing and the fragrance of summertime flowers fill the air, as Miss Read shepherds her students and friends through the warm season.
Signs and Wonders
by Philip Gulley
It's another bustling year in the lives of this quirky Quaker community. Dale Hinshaw is back and floating another of his crackpot ministry schemes-this time, quite literally, with his Salvation Balloons project. Pastor Sam Gardner's wife, Barbara, the 1977 Tenderloin Queen, wins a trip to the Caribbean and thinks she might just go without her workaholic husband. Deena Morrison struggles with being single and alone, while the Friendly Women's Committee strategizes on how they can "help" her. Jimmy Muldock has a secret only his mother knows, though the ever-curious Furnace Committee is bent on discovering it. Throughout it all, three things are certain: the Friendly Women's Circle will make more noodles, Dale Hinshaw will push Sam Gardner to the end of his pastoral rope, and the good in human nature will just nudge out the bad. Filled with master storyteller Philip Gulley's trademark humor and depth of insight, this wise, joyous novel will delight and satisfy both those who know and love Harmony and those who are just discovering it.
