The intensely intimate moments she depicts and the highly personal struggles she focuses on show life under the regime through the eyes of those most devastated by its vicious tyranny. The struggles of three generations fill the pages, as they try to hold their lives together, to find and sustain love, to support their families, to heal from unspeakable wounds, and to live with unthinkable absences. A deeply moving story of life, death, persecution, and survival. Nichole McCown, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA Cinnamon and Gunpowder: A Novel, by Eli Brown (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $26) A swashbuckling story is always fun, especially when it includes a gourmet chef on board. Mad Hannah Mabbot, a tall, redheaded pirate, kidnaps Owen Wedgewood, a lord s chef, and tells him he must cook for her once a week. A supporting cast of characters that will shiver your timbers and depictions of Owen s weekly meals for Hannah are an absolute riot, especially as he has little in the way of ingredients and his galley is miniscule. An exciting and delightful story of pirates both on the high seas and in the kitchen! Susan Wasson, Bookworks, Albuquerque, NM = On the Rise

Each one is filled with poignant, thought-provoking observations on the tenuous, yet unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters. Serber has given readers a remarkable, heartfelt book to be savored, shared, and passed on from one generation to another. Anderson McKean, Page & Palette, Fairhope, AL
