Description:Family values and feminism make an
uneasy marriage in this undisguised morality play
about adultery. Fifteen years ago, Margaret Crane
gave up the dream of medical school to devote herself
to her husband, Adam, an engineer. Beautiful, loyal,
savvy in bed, cheerful in pregnancy and tirelessly
sensitive in motherhood, Margaret now unknowingly
loses her husband to the crude and grasping Randi
Bunting, who enjoyed an intense affair with Adam
back in college and has appeared in their small
Midwestern town. Meanwhile, Margaret's beloved
cousin Nina falls for another married man. Margaret's
moralizing provokes a schism between the two women.
If Plain (The Carousel) had shaped the cousins'
conflict as a loving one between sense and
sensibility, with each sister learning from the
other, this novel might have come to life. But only
Nina has to grow?into the realization that every act
of adultery has a victim, the betrayed spouse.
Margaret remains unchanged by the tumultuous events
in the story, including a death; she comes off not
as a human being but as a collection of unshakable
beliefs. Still, Plain conveys well the hurt and
bewilderment of the three Crane children. And she
understands, and makes palpable, those times when
the illusion of control collapses.

together to cope with life's challenges and find
strength through God. What could have been a

Description:The author of The Shell Seekers has
penned another romance sure to give fans the warm
fuzzies, even though it's set in the north of
Scotland in winter. Colorful Elfrida Phipps,
60-ish and single, has retired from a lifetime
on the stage to a country retreat in Hampshire,
England. There, she is befriended by Oscar and
Gloria Blundell and their 12-year-old daughter,
Francesca. Oscar, an organist, is somewhat older
than his wife and the Blundells live in Gloria's
family house. When Gloria and Francesca die in an
automobile accident, Gloria's sons from a previous
marriage inform Oscar that they are selling the
property and he must leave. Elfrida persuades the
grief-stricken, penniless Oscar to return to his
childhood haunt, Corrydale, in Creagan, Scotland.
His grandmother's grand estate is now a hotel, but
the former estate manager's house is vacant and still
belongs to the family. With few ties herself,
Elfrida moves with Oscar to Creagan, where he plans
to escape the upcoming Christmas festivities and the
sad memories they will arouse. A distant relative of
Elfrida's is also looking for a quiet place to spend
the holidays. Beautiful, stylish 30-year-old Carrie
Sutton is escaping a painful love affair. She has
rescued her 14-year-old niece, Lucy, from Lucy's
neglectful mother and grandmother, and the two seek
asylum with Elfrida and Oscar. When handsome,
successful, separated Sam Howard knocks on their
homey door in a snowstorm, there is nothing to be
done but invite him to stay, and the five souls from
three generations find Christmas isn't so sad, after
all. As her devoted readers have learned to expect,
Pilcher's fond descriptions of domestic detail and
her atmospheric evocation of the Scottish landscape
add substance to a predictable but heartwarming plot.

Titel: Waters Luminous & Deep
Author: Meredith Ann Pierce
Reading level: Young Adult
Paperback: 320 pages
Publisher: Puffin; Reprint edition (November 3, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0142403563
ISBN-13: 978-0142403563
Product Dimensions: 7.1 x 4.4 x 0.8 inches
Condition: Used-Like New
Price:$4.00
Description:Gr. 7-12. The title of Pierce's
collection of "shorter fictions" is as descriptive
as it is evocative. Water is the reigning element,
and its power isolates maidens in waterbound
castles, locks kingdoms in perpetual winter, and
claims the lives of the innocent as often as the
deserving. Echoes of fairy lore reverberate
throughout, with characters reminiscent of the
Snow Queen in "Icerose" to the Frog Prince and
Cinderella in "The Frogskin Slippers." Pierce's
fans will especially relish the confiding
introductions that head each story and the
inclusion of two tales she penned as a teenager,
which reveal a talented writer already fascinated
by the themes that so richly vein her later work:
the yearning to chart one's own course, the aching
transition from girlhood to womanhood. Such currents
run especially strong in the concluding novella,
"Rampion," about half-sisters who deal with their
unscrupulous father in two very different ways.
Pierce's longer tales are more engrossing than her
shorter, filigreed mood pieces, but overall, this
is a shimmering, stirring archipelago of tales.
