December 2008
December’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes CHANGE OF HEART by Jodi Picoult, which delves into the polemical issue of the death penalty and how one's perspective on the matter is often dependent upon religious beliefs; Lisa Scottoline’s LADY KILLER, a thriller that marks the return of Philadelphia attorney Mary DiNunzio, whose high school rival seeks assistance and protection from her mobster boyfriend; PEOPLE OF THE BOOK, a riveting story of the survival of a medieval manuscript over five centuries of European history from Pulitzer Prize winner Geraldine Brooks; WHAT I WAS, celebrated young adult author Meg Rosoff’s most unusual coming-of-age novel about friendship and humanity, viewed through the lens of an old, world-weary narrator; THE WINDING WAYS QUILT, the 12th installment in Jennifer Chiaverini's bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series; and THE MIDDLE PLACE, Kelly Corrigan's deeply affecting memoir about family --- about calling home, being home, returning home and making a home.
