A Story from the Beginnings of Our Time

A remarkable woman—a huntress and healer who challenges every rule, but who yearns for acceptance.
Ayla lost her own people when she was a child. In the harsh landscape of the Ice Age, where to be alone is the greatest threat, her life has been a fight for survival—and a search for belonging.
But Ayla has an overwhelming sense of destiny that pulls against the needs of her heart. She hungers for knowledge and experience of the world. And what she learns will change life for ever ...

Jean M. Auel's magnificent conclusion to the Earth's Children series captures in mesmerising detail the realities of life in the last Ice Age, and sweeps you away in an epic tale of love, identity and struggle.

In perennially popular Binchy's latest, four strangers on holiday in Greece band together after witnessing a tragic boating accident to become friends, and lovers, in an enchanting story that explores the mercurial nature of friendships and the elusive meaning of family. Residents of different countries, the four vacationers discover a commonality: a desire to escape contentious family situations back home. A newly divorced father, Thomas has taken a year's sabbatical to give his young son time to acclimate to his new stepfather. David, a timid Englishman, knows he's disappointing his successful father by not taking over the family business. Elsa, a glamorous German TV reporter, has walked out on a tumultuous love affair, while Fiona is defying family and friends in Ireland by running off with her rebellious boyfriend. Serendipitously, two locals, Andreas and Vonni, befriend the travelers and help them gain perspectives that will put their unsettled lives in order. A beloved storyteller, Binchy excels in the art of the character-driven plot. Although her characters are not necessarily complex, the stories she weaves around them are tales as compelling for their surprises as they are comforting in their sympathetic warmth. Redolent of the life-affirming enthusiasm that is Greek village life, Binchy's newest is a rich homage to meaningful relationships.

Kassandra, daughter of Priam the king and Hecuba the priestess, twin sister to Paris and prophetess of

The author's name should be enough to recommend this book.--Moonchild

This timeless classic is a poignant tale of Mary, a lonely orphaned girl sent to a Yorkshire mansion at the edge of a vast lonely moor. At first, she is frightened by this gloomy place until she meets a local boy, Dickon, who's earned the trust of the moor's wild animals, the invalid Colin, an unhappy boy terrified of life, and a mysterious, abandoned garden...

A storm-lashed night. A dangerously paranoid schizophrenic. A woman with a reason to be terrified. And a desperate search for the ultimate truth behind a shocking murder.
Michael Hrubek has escaped from a mental hospital for the criminally insane. He's on a mission--to find Lis Atcheson, the woman who identified him as a vicious murderer.
No one will stop him. Not his psychiatrist, not the professional tracker, not Lis's husband. Only Lis can save herself from the unspeakable secret of her past. A past Michael Hrubek knows as well.

Contemporary West African culture harbors rich and meaningful spiritual traditions. Yet, there are few written records of West Africa's major beliefs, rituals, and ceremonies. The Way of the Elders co-authored by a West African native raised in the Mande tradition offers rare and authentic insight into the spirituality of West Africa, and particularly the Mande culture.

This spiritual guidebook explains fundamental beliefs, such as reverence for the One Spirit, that permeate tribal life. Offerings, charms, herbal healing, shamans and their functions, the importance of wildlife, and the four elements of nature are discussed in detail. The second half of the book is devoted to sacred living and focuses on village life, sacred music and dance, pregnancy, birth, childhood initiation, marriage, death, and funerals.

Child of the Phoenix is a compelling tale of love, courage, tragedy and hope; a haunting ghost story about
the power of the dead to influence the living; a glorious panorama of the violent, turbulent thirteenth century.

This short description from the back cover is a painfully brief summary of more than a thousand pages of epic historical fiction. As an avid reader, I go through an average paperback in about two days. This story kept me entertained for more than a week. I bought this book second-hand, so the cover is a bit worn, but on the whole it's in good condition.--Moonchild
