Away is a modest name for a book as gloriously transporting as Amy Bloom's new novel. Alive with incident and unforgettable characters, it sparkles and illuminates as brilliantly as it entertains. The accomplishment is even more remarkable given the seeming drabness of the story Ms. Bloom tells. She offers a ridiculously beautiful account of a 1926 transcontinental schlep by an immigrant Jewish seamstress from New York toward Siberia in search of her young daughter…To the extent that a work of fiction can be all things to all people, this one is remarkably versatile. Away is a literary triumph, a book-club must and a popular novel destined for wide readership. It is accessible to the point of pure enthrallment without compromising its eloquence or thematic strength. Yet it is also a classic page-turner, one that delivers a relentlessly good read. See less

This, it seems to me, is a book with appeal even wider than the 'chick lit' genre it is billed as. I'm not a chick and don't read much lit, but found this to be an entertaining and revealing look through what for most people are closed, bolted, chained-shut doors: that portal into Washigton politics and journalism. The story is both commentary on and parody of recent court battles that pit the government, journalists and their sources against each other. Jennifer Oko has great fun and channels the shrewdest political satirists of our day. Also recommended: Floater Up In The Air Lying Together A reviewer, A reviewer, 04/29/2007 See less

From the number one New York Times bestselling coauthor of Judge & Jury and Lifeguard comes this electrifying solo debut, The Blue Zone. Kate Raab's life seems almost perfect: her boyfriend, her job, her family . . . until her father runs into trouble with the law. His only recourse is to testify against his former accomplices in exchange for his family's placement in the Witness Protection Program. But one of them gets cold feet. In a flash, everything Kate can count on is gone. Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened: Her father has disappeared--into what the WITSEC agency calls "the blue zone"--and someone close to him is found brutally murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI untrustworthy, and her father's menacing "friends" circling with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her father--and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried.

Fern Kendal, London bartender and underappreciated lounge crooner, wants a break as a singer. But, she asks herself in Briton Matthews's latest (after With or Without You), how can she get her big break when she's working two jobs to help support her brother, Joe (he cares full-time for his severely asthmatic son), and to subsidize her gambling father, who takes up residence on Fern's lumpy couch. She lands a part-time job as personal assistant to Evan David, a handsome opera singer, and, not shockingly, sparks fly. She's hesitant to tell him when Carl, her high school boyfriend and current accompanist, talks her into trying out with him for the reality talent show Fame Game (her "attempts seem so feeble compared to [Evan's]"). The show's judges ask her to appear on the show-but without Carl's accompaniment. Fern is torn between her deep friendship with Carl, her developing relationship with Evan and her quickly building career, but the knockout punch comes when Lana, a fiery Maria... See less

Dear Readers, Since William Morrow released Some Nerve, my 13th novel, on September 5th, I've received a huge number of e-mails to this web site from readers reporting how much you enjoyed the book. (There were also some of you who had trouble finding the book in your local bookstore. That's the publishing business, I'm afraid. But you can always special order it from the store or buy it online at Amazon. Sorry about that.) Especially gratifying was that those of you who said you'd never tried a book of mine before Some Nervewere now eager to go back and read the 12 previous novels. Have fun! For those who haven't read Some Nerve, it's got humor, a likeable heroine, a fast-paced story with lots of twists and turns, and a romance that'll make you root for the couple to get together. But it's also a book with a message - to educate about the joys and rewards of hospital volunteerism. We all know about wonderful nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity. My goal with Some Nerve is to remind... See less

If you ask me, the best part about the Sleeping Beauty fairytale is that she didn't have to do anything to get a man. She just lay around for a hundred years. And one day a cute guy with lots of ambition and extra time on his hands rode up on an expensive horse, hacked through a bunch of brambles, ran upstairs and kissed her. Voila! Instant husband. This has been my problem. I'd like a husband in theory, but I don't want to have to work for one in practice. You know, keep my legs shaved and my figure trim. Dress well for all occasions. Learn how to grill a steak, twice bake a potato, check my teeth for spinach, say no to desserts, look stunning in a bikini, bat my eyes, suck in my stomach, never burp, fetch beer, giggle at his every joke, wear thongs that ride up my butt, make nice to his sister and play those games. I am lousy at those games. Read more See less
