The House at Riverton

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Morton, Kate, PUBLISHER: Washington Square Press, "The House at Riverton" is a gorgeous debut novel set in England between the wars. It is the story of an aristocratic family, a house, a mysterious death and a way of life that vanished forever, told in flashback by a woman who witnessed it all and kept a secret for decades. Grace Bradley went to work at Riverton House as a servant when she was just a girl, before the First World War. For years her life was inextricably tied up with the Hartford family, most particularly the two daughters, Hannah and Emmeline. In the summer of , at a glittering society party held at the house, a young poet shot himself. The only witnesses were Hannah and Emmeline and only they -- and Grace -- know the truth. In , when Grace is ninety-eight years old and living out her last days in a nursing home, she is visited by a young director who is making a film about the events of that summer. She takes Grace back to Riverton House and reawakens her memories. Told in flashback, this is the story of Grace's youth during the last days of Edwardian aristocratic privilege shattered by war, of the vibrant twenties and the changes she witnessed as an entire way of life vanished forever. The novel is full of secrets -- some revealed, others hidden forever, reminiscent of the romantic suspense of Daphne du Maurier. It is also a meditation on memory, the devastation of war and a beautifully rendered window into a fascinating time in history. Originally published to critical acclaim in Australia, already sold in ten countries and a #1 bestseller in England, "The House at Riverton" is a vivid, page-turning novel of suspense and passion, with characters -- and an ending -- the reader won't soon forget.

Weeds

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kelley, Edith Summers / Bruccoli, Matthew J., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, "Weeds "was published by Harcourt Brace in and also brought out in England by Jonathan Cape. Despite favorable re-views by well-regarded critics the book made no impact, and Edith Summers Kelley never published another novel. Its reprinting here in this innovative series which brought back Zelda Fitz-gerald's "Save Me the Waltz "is in the opin-ion of the publishers a literary event of great magnitude--perhaps equal to the rediscovery of Henry Roth's "Call It Sleep.""" "Weeds "portrays the monotonous, drudg-ing life of the small tenant farmer of the tobacco fields of Kentucky. The story centers around Judith Pippinger, who has spirit, beauty, and a restless seeking for a purpose in life, but who is brutalized by farm life. It is not a dramatic novel, as Matthew Bruccoli notes in his Introduction to this neglected masterpiece. But it is convinc-ing. The people live. On two counts this book is important. It is a perfectly controlled work of fiction, and therefore has the automatic worth that any superior piece of literature has. Also, it has his-torical value as a peak achievement in the revolt-from-the-farm school of naturalistic American fiction. Edith Summers Kelley was the last writer in the Hamlin Garland, E. W. Howe, Joseph Kirkland line of de-velopment. Aside from its probable worth as social history, "Weeds "is highly readable. Read-ers will find here plausible people in a beautifully-handled realistic setting. In-teresting to note, the novel's strongest supporter heretofore was Sinclair Lewis, who was engaged to the author. In the opinion of Professor Bruccoli, "Weeds "is as good as "Main Street".""

A Tale of Two Cities

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickens, Charles / Dickens, Charles, PUBLISHER: Dover Publications, Against the backdrop of the French Revolution, Dickens unfolds a masterpiece of drama, adventure, and courage featuring Charles Darnay, a man falsely accused of treason. He bears an uncanny resemblance to the dissolute, yet noble Sydney Carton. Brilliantly plotted, the novel culminates in a daring prison escape in the shadow of the guillotine.

The Heather Blazing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Toibin, Colm, PUBLISHER: Penguin Books, The sea is slowly eating into the land and the hill with the old watchtower has completely disappeared. The nearest house has crumbled and fallen into the sea. It is Ireland in the late twentieth century. Eamon Redmond is a judge in the Irish High Court. Obsessed all his life by the letter and spirit of the law, he is just beginning to discover how painfully unconnected he is from other human beings. With effortless fluency, Colm Toibin reconstructs the history of Eamon's relationships--with his father, his first "girl," his wife, and the children who barely know him. He gives us a family as minutely realized as any of John McGahern's, and he writes about Eamon's affection for the landscape of his childhood on the east coast of Ireland with such skill that the land itself becomes a character. The result is a novel that ensnares us with its emotional intensity and dazzles with its crystalline prose. In The Heather Blazing, Colm Toibin displays once again the gifts that illuminated The South, a book described by Don DeLillo as "a grand achievement," and by John Banville as "a daring imaginative feat...a splendid first novel."

Involuntary Tour

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Flanagan, Robert, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, Involuntary Tour is the author's first novel in print, but it is not a new novel, having sustained a 45-year gestation. "The End" was written to the story in autumn, , in Salzburg, Austria, while the author and his wife were traveling in Europe. Because of the extensive manuscript, another two years was spent in restructuring the story into three books rather than one, and the necessary changes and additions to smooth the transition. The book began with the author keeping a journal, notes, photos, and memorabilia in during his first Viet Nam "tour." That memorialization continued through a year in Russian language school in California, three years' duty in several locations in Germany, followed by his second tour in Viet Nam. This novel, Book I of The ASA Trilogy--three linked, contiguous novels--is set in the times/places of the author's first Viet Nam assignment, and forward through mid-. The full trilogy, however, with the addition of back story and inserted vignettes, covers a period from the late s through the autumn of . The full story (the trilogy) employs two protagonists in the guises of a career Army warrant officer and a career Army sergeant, long-time friends and co-serving soldiers in a number of venues. More than a "war" story, though that also. Told basically in third person, with significant first person voice utilized by the sergeant, a disaffected academic with an ironic bent. The book captures the work, the play, the difficulties and the zany, improbable behavior--on and off duty--of Army Security Agency intelligence soldiers. Settings are: US locations, Germany, Italy, Eritrea (Ethiopia), Thailand, Hong Kong, and most significantly, Viet Nam. The size of the cast of characters puts War and Peace to shame (an expected fact of life for career military who experience many transfers).

Ancient Light

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Banville, John, PUBLISHER: Knopf Publishing Group, The Man Booker Prize-winning author of "The Sea" gives us a brilliant, profoundly moving new novel about an actor in the twilight of his life and his career: a meditation on love and loss, and on the inscrutable immediacy of the past in our present lives. Is there any difference between memory and invention? That is the question that fuels this stunning novel, written with the depth of character, the clarifying lyricism, and the heart-wrenching humor that have marked all of John Banville's extraordinary works. And it is the question that haunts Alexander Cleave as he plumbs the memories of his first--and perhaps only--love (he, just fifteen, the woman more than twice his age, the mother of his best friend; the situation impossible, thrilling, devouring, and finally devastating)... and of his daughter, lost to a kind of madness of mind and heart that Cleave can only fail to understand. When his stunted acting career is suddenly, inexplicably revived with a movie role portraying a man who may not be who he says he is, his young leading lady--famous and fragile--unwittingly gives him the opportunity to see with aching clarity the "chasm that yawns between the doing of a thing and the recollection of what was done."

Through Annie, we watch as the four Richards children create their own histories, lives that include both triumphs and hardship in the face of the Great Depression and then World War II. Much more than a sequel, "The Road from Gap Creek "is a moving and indelible portrait of people and their world in a time of unprecedented change, an American story told by one of our country s most acclaimed writers.

Sense and Sensitivity: How Focus Determines Meaning

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beaver, David / Clark, Brady, PUBLISHER: Wiley-Blackwell, "Sense and Sensitivity" advances a novel research proposal in the nascent field of formal pragmatics, exploring in detail the semantics and pragmatics of focus in natural language discourse. The authors develop a new account of focus sensitivity, and show that what has hitherto been regarded as a uniform phenomenon in fact results from three different mechanisms. The book Makes a major contribution to ongoing research in the area of focus sensitivity - a field exploring interactions between sound and meaning, specifically the dependency some words have on the effects of focus, such as "she only LIKES me" (i.e. nothing deeper) compared to "she only likes ME" (i.e. nobody else) Discusses the features of the QFC theory (Quasi association, Free association, and Conventional association), a new account of focus implying a tripartite typology of focus-sensitive expressions Presents novel cross-linguistic data on focus and focus sensitivity that will be relevant across a range of linguistic sub-fields: semantics and pragmatics, syntax, and intonational phonology Concludes with a case study of exclusives (like "only"), arguing that the entire existing literature has missed crucial generalizations, and for the first time explaining the focus sensitivity of these expressions in terms of their meaning and discourse function
