Early Spring 2008

  • The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney - In this brutal, epic debut novel, a man is found murdered and a 17-year-old boy is on the run. While vigilantes and rescue searchers head out to look for the fugitive, all the mother of the boy wants is her son back. She will do anything to see him home safe, even at the peril of her own life.
  • The God of Animals by Aryn Kyle - An emotionally powerful coming-of-age story that deftly and movingly captures not only the complexity of love, loss, and human relationships but also the fierce and powerful bond between horses and humans.
  • Devotion by Howard Norman - An intense and intriguingly unconventional love story which sets out to explore a great mystery: why seemingly quiet, contained people lose control.
  • Eleanor Vs. Ike by Robin Gerber - An intelligent and provocative first novel that imagines what would have happened if Eleanor Roosevelt ran against Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential elections.
  • The Fig Eater by Jody Shields - When a young woman's body is discovered in the summer of 1910 Vienna, the Inspector's wife is certain the figs found in her stomach during the autopsy are the clue to the identity of the murderer - for there are no fresh figs in Vienna at this time of year.
