A million nightingales by Susan Straight

“This is a very well-written story about one slave girl’s life and journey to freedom.  It grabs on to you and transports you to French Louisiana without you even realizing it.  It’s the kind of book that keeps you reading, even when you know you have to stop.”

Ocean of Words by Ha Jin


"This is a collection of short stories about the every-day lives of Chinese soldiers during the 1970's on the Russian border.  Ha Jin makes the characters come to life by capturing not only the personalities of the people, but also the attitude of the country at the time.  It was a very interesting read."

A Cure for Gravity by Arthur Rosenfeld


“In this story several lives intersect in unexpected ways, sometimes even through the supernatural.  It started a bit slowly and felt a little segmented, but tied together better by the middle.  In the end, I found myself rooting for both the good guy and the ‘bad’ guy, and even though only one can win, the ending was still satisfying.”

Every Last One by Anna Quindlen

“Not what I was expecting - From the seemingly mundane details of ordinary life to the twists and turns, this author has a style of describing that kept me reading through the slower parts of the story. The surface stories and the hidden secrets that set the stage for conflicts, chaos, and ultimately recovery will draw you in too.”
