Media Reviews
"'A Marriage Made at Woodstock' gives fresh evidence of [Pelletier's] talent at exploring the sometimes unwieldy expectations of the 60's versus the confusing and relatively hollow trends of the 90's. Ultimately, the novel is about the long, painful process of growing up, even in one's 40's...Despite all their amusingly detailed quirks, however, the central characters are not terribly compelling, a decided drawback...Still, the smart vitality of Ms. Pelletier's prose and of her keen observations carries the book." -- Stephen McCauley
-- New York Times Book Review

Half a Heart
by Rosellen Brown
Miriam Vener feels trapped in the comfortable white middle-class life she leads with her family in Houston in the 1980s. That life suddenly shatters with the appearance, after almost eighteen years, of Veronica (Ronnee), her biracial daughter born in Mississippi in the sixties when Miriam was a civil rights activist. Rosellen Brown charts the emotionally fraught terrain of the mother and daughter's reunion and Ronnee's divided sense of self and loyalty. With which family, and which race, does she identify? A searingly honest novel of public and private ideals betrayed, Half a Heart is a deeply moving story about estrangement and intimacy, race and privilege, identity and belonging.

by John M. Del Vecchio
Rare is the novel that speaks for an entire generation, that captures a pivotal moment in our lives, that sums up an era.

Del Vecchio brilliantly established himself as the premier voice of the Viet Nam experience. Now, in a powerful and poignant epic that places Del Vecchio in the top rank of American novelists, he transports the soldiers of that distant war to their final battlefield--the home front.
