Book: "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons"
by Lorna Landvik
Good
friends and good books -- who could ask for anything
more? Especially if you happen to throw in
lots of good food featuring heavy doses of chocolate
-- and you have a fascinating neighborhood book club
called Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons.
Throughout the course of several decades, from the
sixties to the nineties, these women become great
friends, meeting monthly for their discussion
sessions. The discussions range from the immediate
book at hand to wider-ranging subject. (From

Book: "Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini
In
his debut novel,
The Kite Runner,
Khaled Hosseini manages to provide an educational
and eye-opening account of a country's political
turmoil -- in this case, Afghanistan -- while also
developing characters whose heartbreaking struggles
and emotional triumphs resonate with readers long
after the last page has been turned over. This book
puts a name and face to the people we are helping to
free. This is a book at once so magnificent that it
is difficult to comprehend and describe. How could
we be fighting for freedom in this far off land,
Afghanistan, and not understand the people; their
heritage, their land and what they lost? (From

Book: “Four Spirits : A Novel” by
Sena Jeter Naslund
The
author of Ahab's Wife (Morrow, 1999), a feminist
corrective to Moby Dick, has picked an equally
ambitious subject for this novel: the racial
injustice, hatred, and horror of Birmingham,
Alabama, circa 1963. The characters pivot
around Stella Silver, a white college student who is
horrified by the glee in her community when JFK is
assassinated, and who is moved to activism. In
its authentic, balanced evocation of daily life
across a wide spectrum of the black and white
communities, this novel justifies its length and
measured pace, and credibly renders the faith and
courage that brought redemption to a blood-soaked
city.(From
