PAPERBACK, cover price $14.99, very good, light wear to cover. SEBOLD, ALICE. The almost moon: a novel. New York: Back Bay Books. Little, Brown and Co., 2007, later printing, 291pp., . "With fierce intelligence and emotional intensity, Alice Sebold brings us a searing portrait of a mother-daughter bond that descends into murder. Clair and Helen Knightly are a parent and child locked in a relationship so unrelenting that they have become the center of each other's worlds. But as this electrifying novel opens, Helen crosses a boundary she never thought she would approach. And while her act is almost unconscious, it somehow seems like the fulfillment of a lifetime's unspoken wishes. Over the next twenty-four hours, Helen's life rushes in at her as she is forced to confront the choices that have brought her to this one riveting crossroad. As a woman who spent years trying to win the love of someone who had none to spare, she now faces an uncertain and dangerous freedom. With her unflinching ability to confront the violence and danger that lurk beneath life's everyday surface, Sebold explores the complex ties within families, the meaning of devotion, and the thin line that separates us from our most haunting impulses. The Almost Moon is unforgettable, a raw and powerful story of passion and redemption written with the strength of voice that only Alice Sebold can bring to the page.". ISBN 9780316067362.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 342 pages. Clean straight book with no marks or stamps. The author was a romantic 17 year-old when she married a South American aritsocrat 20 years her senior. Seduced by tales of his ancestral home, she left England for his family's vast plantation deep in the Venezuelan Andes. At first, Lisa found herself virtually abandoned in the wilderness, with only a pet vulture, two pedigreed beagles, and-la gente-the estate's illiterate, feudal people-for company. The Hacienda tells the sometimes hilarious, sometimes harrowing story of how Lisa courageously restored the plantation, bore her first child, and, perhaps the hardest of all, won the respect of la gente.She discovered an untapped reservoir of personal strength and, in the end, was forced to use it to save her own life.

Book First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition Stated. 312 Pages. This is the March 2020 First Edition quality paperback with flaps. A "mesmerizing" re-imagination of the final months of World War II, Hannah's War is an unforgettable love story about an exceptional woman, and the dangerous power of her greatest discovery. Berlin, 1938: Groundbreaking physicist Dr. Hannah Weiss is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the 20th century -- splitting the atom. She understands that the energy released by her discovery can power entire cities or destroy them. Hannah believes the weapon's creation will secure an end to future wars, but as a Jewish woman living under the harsh rule of the Third Reich, her research is belittled, overlooked, and eventually stolen by her German colleagues. Faced with an impossible choice, Hannah must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in pursuit of science's greatest achievement. New Mexico, 1945: Returning wounded and battered from the liberation of Paris, Major Jack Delaney arrives in the New Mexican desert with a mission: to catch a spy. Someone in the top-secret nuclear lab at Los Alamos has been leaking encoded equations to Hitler's scientists. Chief among Jack's suspects is the brilliant and mysterious Hannah Weiss, an exiled physicist lending her talent to J. Robert Oppenheimer's mission. All signs point to Hannah as the traitor, but over three days of interrogation that filter her lies from the truth, Jack will realize they have more in common than either one bargained for. Hannah's War is a thrilling wartime story of loyalty and truth, and the unforeseeable fallout of a single choice.
