January 2004

Among the novels featured in this month's roundup of New in Paperback titles are REVENGE OF THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN, THE SEDUCTION OF WATER and THE BLESSING STONE, a sweeping historical epic from internationally bestselling author Barbara Wood. Our nonfiction highlights include READING LOLITA IN TEHRAN --- an inspiring memoir of a professor who taught Western literature to seven female students in the Islamic Republic of Iran --- and SONS OF MISSISSIPPI, in which Paul Hendrickson recounts the story of seven white Mississippi lawmen depicted in a horrifically telling 1962 Life magazine photograph.
