Objects for sale at the Nakano Thrift Shop appear as commonplace as the staff and customers that handle them. But like those same customers and staff, they hold man secrets. If observed more closely, they show the signs of innumerable extravagances, of immeasurable pleasure and pain, of the deep mysteries of the human heart. Hitomi, the inexperienced young woman who works the register at the shop, has fallen for her coworker, the oddly reserved Takeo. Unsure of how to win his affections, she seeks advice from her employer's sister whose sentimental entanglements make her a rather unconventional mentor. But thanks to her, Hitomi will come to understand that love and intimacy require acceptance not only of idiosyncrasies but also of the delicate waltz between open and hidden secrets.

Julia's life is graceful and well ordered. Each morning she drives her husband, Swinton, to the station, her three children piled in the back of the car. She waves goodbye, conscious that he has already gone from her. Then her son sees a strange face in the boathouse. She hears about a beautiful, dead girl who lived further down the river and was connected somehow with her husband. A young man enters her house and asks question which threaten to crumble her carefully created deference. Julia is suddenly aware of the shifts and changes in her marriage, the unspoken thoughts and frustrated desires...and the hot, endless day becomes a nightmare from which she is desperate to awake.

Dressed in old-fashion rags and fiending for a cigarette, Yolanda wakes up in an empty room with no memory of how she got there, Verla, a young woman who seems familiar, sits nearby. Down a hallway echoing loudly with voices, on a stark compound deep in the Australian outback, other captive women are just coming to. Sedated and disoriented, the girls can't be sure of anything - except the salacious episodes in their pasts that link them. For each woman is marked by her own public sex scandal and, as a result, is now the ward of a bizarre system of corporate control...Drawing strength from the animal instincts they're forced to rely on, the girls go from hunted to hunters, along the way becoming unforgettable and boldly original literary heroines that readers will both relate to and root for.

Sound clean trade paperback. 264pp. Although many Americans consider the establishment of the colonies as the birth of this country, in fact early America existed long before the arrival of the Europeans. From coast to coast, Native Americans had created enduring cultures, and the subsequent European invasion remade much of the land and society. In New Worlds for All, Colin G. Calloway explores the unique and vibrant new cultures that Indians and Europeans forged together in early America. The journey toward this hybrid society kept Europeans' and Indians' lives tightly entwined: living, working, worshiping, traveling, and trading together—as well as fearing, avoiding, despising, and killing one another. In some areas, settlers lived in Indian towns, eating Indian food. In the Mohawk Valley of New York, Europeans tattooed their faces; Indians drank tea.
