September 2007

September’s roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes Markus Zusak’s THE BOOK THIEF, an unforgettable novel set during World War II in Germany about a girl who steals to survive and discovers the power of books with the help of her accordion-playing foster father; THE RISING TIDE, which marks the beginning of a trilogy by Jeff Shaara about the military conflict that defined the 20th century --- World War II; TRUE EVIL by Greg Iles, the chilling story of a divorce attorney who may be orchestrating the deaths of his clients' spouses; ONE GOOD TURN, the follow-up to CASE HISTORIES (Kate Atkinson’s 2004 bestseller), featuring former detective Jackson Brodie; and THE HOUNDS AND THE FURY, Rita Mae Brown’s fifth thrilling mystery set in Virginia foxhunting country.

Among our nonfiction highlights are THUNDERSTRUCK by Erik Larson, a fast-paced drama that chronicles the lives of two men whose passions took them in vastly divergent directions; THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE THUNDERBOLT KID, Bill Bryson’s vivid, nostalgic and utterly hilarious memoir of growing up in the 1950s; and FIRSTLIGHT, in which Sue Monk Kidd charts her emergence as a writer and seeker while reflecting on her roles as wife, mother, daughter, nurse and artist.
