MONTHLY SELECTION:
|
August's selection is "Confessions of a
Jane Austen Addict” by Laurie Rigler |
 |
|
In this Jane Austen-inspired comedy,
love story, and exploration of identity and
destiny, a modern LA girl wakes up as an
Englishwoman in Austen's time.
After nursing a broken engagement with Jane
Austen novels and Absolut, Courtney Stone
wakes up and finds herself not in her Los
Angeles bedroom or even in her own body, but
inside the bedchamber of a woman in Regency
England. Who but an Austen addict like
herself could concoct such a fantasy?
Not only is Courtney stuck in another
woman's life, she is forced to pretend she
actually is that woman; and despite knowing
nothing about her, she manages to fool even
the most astute observer. But not even her
love of Jane Austen has prepared Courtney
for the chamber pots and filthy coaching
inns of nineteenth-century England, let
alone the realities of being a single woman
who must fend off suffocating chaperones,
condomless seducers, and marriages of
convenience. Enter the enigmatic Mr.
Edgeworth, who fills Courtney's borrowed
brain with confusing memories that are
clearly not her own.
Try as she might to control her mind and
find a way home, Courtney cannot deny that
she is becoming this other woman-and being
this other woman is not without its
advantages: Especially in a looking-glass
Austen world. Especially with a suitor who
may not turn out to be a familiar species of
philanderer after all. |
|
September's selection is "The Greatest
Generation Speaks: Letters and Reflections" by Tom
Brokaw |
 |
|
Tom Brokaw touched the heart of the
nation with his towering #1 bestseller The
Greatest Generation, a moving tribute to
those who gave the world so much — and who
left an enduring legacy of heroism and
grace. The Greatest Generation Speaks was
born out of the vast outpouring of letters
Brokaw received from people eager to share
their personal memories and experiences of a
momentous time in America's history.
These letters and reflections cross time,
distance, and generations as they give voice
to lives forever changed by war:
eighty-year-old Clarence M. Graham, who
recounts his harrowing experience as a
soldier captured by the Japanese — and
provides a gripping eyewitness account of
the dropping of the atomic bomb; Patricia
Matthews Dorph, a soldier's daughter who
shares the love letters her parents
exchanged during the war, a lasting legacy
of passion, devotion, and enduring love;
Rabbi Judah Nadich, the first Jewish
chaplain to serve in the war; Lorraine
Davis, a civilian who helped form the Club
of '44, a group of wartime wives who still
meet today.
From the front lines of battle to the back
porches of beloved hometowns, The Greatest
Generation Speaks brings to life the hopes
and dreams of a generation who fought our
most hard-won victories, and whose struggles
and sacrifices made our future possible. |
