The Gift of Rain
by
Eng, Tan Twan
Set in Malaya over several decades, the book opens in 1939, when Philip, a half-Chinese, half-British teenager becomes the student and guide for a Japanese diplomat who becomes his Sensei master. It is only after the Japanese invade Malaya that the boy realizes that his teacher, to whom he has proudly shown and told so much, is a Japanese spy. Intrigue, love, politics, and war are intricately woven together in this story of complex and fascinating characters.--Elaine Petrocelli, Book Passage (Corte Madera, CA) |

"A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity, and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon,
and by moonlight."

A Yes-Or-No Answer: Poems
by
Shore, Jane
In her acclaimed collections Happy Family and Music Minus One, Jane Shore traced her life from childhood to coming of age to parenthood. Now, in A Yes-or-No Answer, Shore etches the persistence of the past in a life that has moved into a mature new phase as a member of the baby boom generation. Recalling her Jewish childhood in New Jersey, living in the apartment above the family's clothing store, Shore lovingly imagines her parents, now gone, reunited with relatives over a Scrabble board in the afterlife. The poet's teenage daughter sorts through the "vintage" clothes of her mother's own hippie days. Cherished items left behind -- an address book, a piano, an easy chair, a favorite doll -- continue to haunt the living.
The poems in A Yes-or-No Answer dignify memory through precise detail, with a voice that will resonate for a generation at a crossroads. |
