Holy the Firm
In 1975 Annie Dillard took up residence on an island in Puget Sound in a wooded room furnished with 'one enormous window, one cat, one spider and one person.' For the next two years she asked herself questions about time, reality, sacrifice death, and the will of God. In 'Holy the Firm' she writes about a moth consumed in a candle flame, about a seven-year-old girl burned in an airplane accident, about a baptism on a cold bevery. But behind the moving curtain of what she calls 'the hard things -- rock mountain and salt sea,' she sees, sometimes far off and sometimes as close by as a veil or air, the power play of holy fire. This is a profound book about the natural world -- both its beauty and its cruelty -- the Pulitzer Prize-winning Dillard knows so well. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461719004

Layover
Claire Newbold is not your typical heroine. Smart and sexy, yes, but she's also been known to sneak into a hotel room or two without paying, seduce a teenager in wet bathing trunks, and just check out of things altogether--like her job. And her marriage. No wonder, though. Claire's been careening off heartbreak. Her only child has died, she may be infertile, and her husband has had an affair. No longer a mother, not sure she wants to be a wife, Claire moves from hotel to hotel, basking in the anonymity of travel and forbidden sex. She even comes to believe she is clairvoyant, able to 'read' into the souls of others. Eventually she begins to see into her own soul as she ponders whether or not to return home. As she struggles to repair her marriage and her life, Claire surprises herself -- and us -- by emerging with a new sense of redemption. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461719047
