Box O' Books came!
My box of books from my online friend the bookseller came this weekend!
Astonishing Splashes of Colour
by Clare Morrall
-> Shortlisted for the 2003 Man Booker Prize.
-> Taking its title from a description of Peter Pan's Neverland, Astonishing Splashes of Colour follows the life of Kitty, a woman who, in a sense, has never grown up. As her moods swing dramatically from high to low, they are illuminated by an unusual ability to interpret people and emotions through colour.
Kitty struggles to come to terms with her life, including the loss of her mother, a miscarriage, and an unconventional marriage to her husband, who lives in the apartment next door. And when her father and brothers reveal a family secret long hidden, it overwhelms Kitty's tenuous hold on reality and propels her on an impetuous journey to the brink of madness.
Midnight In Garden of Good & Evil
by J. Berendt
-> Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story is a sublime and seductive reading experience. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this enormously engaging portrait of a mostbeguiling Southern city is certain to become a modern classic.
The Giver
by Lois Lowry
-> John Newberry Award Winner
Les Miserables
by Victor Hugo
-> Les Miserables is the great epic masterpiece of the mid-nineteenth century. Begun in 1845, the year Louis Philippe conferred a peerage and a lifetime seat in the Senate upon Victor Hugo, it was completed when the author was living in exile in the Channel Islands.
Rebecca
by Daphne DuMaurier
-> Hitchcock movie made from this book
-> Published in 1938 Rebecca was a spectacular novel. It later became a fabulous movie starring Joan Fontaine and Lawerence Olivier.
Duchess
by Susan Holloway Scott
-> A historical novel based on the life of the lady-in-waiting who helped bring James II to the throne of England.
