Featured Monthly Reading

 

The Color Purple - Life wasn't easy for Celie, but she knew how to survive, needing little time to get by. Then her husband's lover, a flamboyant blues singer, barreled into her world and gave Celie the courage to ask for more-to laugh, to play and finally to love.

 

Shogun - It's almost impossible not to continue to read Shogun once having opened it. Yet it's not only something that you read-you live it…possessed by the Englishman Blackthorne, the Japanese lord Toranaga and medieval Japan… People, customs, settings, needs and desires all become so enveloping you forget who and where you are.

 

A Cry In The Night - It was the sort of thing that happened only in fairy tales - until it became the stuff a nightmare is made of. One day she was simply Jenny MacPartland-young, charming, divorced, working in a New York art gallery, struggling to support her two little girls-the next, she was a princess, lavishly courted by a handsome artist whose exquisitely peaceful landscapes were making him famous virtually overnight. Within a month, Jenny was married to Erich Krueger. She had found her prince, the man she could truly love. Suddenly, wealthy, adored, warmly cared for, Jenny knew she'd grow to love living on Erich's Minnesota farm. Until the lonely days and eerie night strained her nerves to the breaking point…until bizarre incidents led her to doubt her own sanity…until a chain of shattering events revealed the link to a past more terrifying than she dared imagine-a past that threatened her marriage, her children, her life.

 

The Grapes of Wrath - When this first appeared in 1939, it electrified an America still convalescing from the depression. Particularized in the story of the Joad family, the novel is not only a powerful dramatization of the forced migration of the "Okies" from their bank-foreclosed fields and farms; it is a dramatization as well of the plight of the dispossessed everywhere.
