STAFF PICKS


book cover of 

World Without End 

 (Pillars of the Earth, book 2)

by

Ken Follett 

This is Follett at his best! You will be consumed with this epic novel that's rife with torrid affairs and political scheming. Just when you think you know where he's taking you, the author deftly changes course.

 

Reviewed by Leslie.


   A great read - very inspiring and soul searching. We should all take the time to really enjoy Three Cups of Tea. -  An eye-opener to many things in this life.

As a child of WWII, Peter de Bauer finds his father is not the man he thought.  He embarks upon a search which is quick-paced and exciting.  A terrific read!

(book is also in regular-size type)

 Perhaps one of the most unusual fiction pieces I've ever read.  Characters: Irish,-  Setting: Post-Civil War in the West.  Various social classes of immigrant Irish come to the US - fight in the Civil War then continue their "search for life, love and all things Irish. Even the last page carries a wallop.

An engrossing tale of an ill-fated love triangle that has its roots in Gypsy tradition and the history of flamenco dancing.  Cyndi Rao gives us the outsider's view who longs to belong to this ancient way of life.  Love, conflict, jealousy whirl around the art of dance.

A beautiful read.

Interest-grabbing historical fiction about being the "other" sister.  So much today is researched and written about the middle child.  Can you imagine being the Boleyn middle child and having the possible heir

to England's throne within your power!

A GREAT WHAT IF!
