Book Description
"A family is a remarkable thing, isn't it? You belong. And then you don't. It passes you by. Unless you start a family of your own." The last two plays of Horton Foote's Orphans' Home Cycle both expand and contract the circle of a family that unifies all nine of the plays. In Cousins, an operation on Horace Robedaux's mother reunites, in person and in memory, the many Robedaux relatives (one of whom speaks the lines quoted above), and in the almost comic proliferation of cousins that results, the orphaned Horace is joined across time and space to a family that seems never to end. The Death of Papa returns the cycle to its origins, with the death of Horace's father-in-law. Far from ending the story, however, Papa's death regenerates the complexity of families and their survival, as his son bravely but foolishly tries to assume control of the land that supports his family's life.

Book Description
The unforgettable memoir of a woman at the front lines of the civil rights movement—a harrowing account of black life in the rural South and a powerful affirmation of one person’s ability to affect change. “Anne Moody’s autobiography is an eloquent, moving testimonial to her courage.”—Chicago Tribune Born to a poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South. The week before she began high school came the news of Emmet Till’s lynching. Before then, she had “known the fear of hunger, hell, and the Devil. But now there was . . . the fear of being killed just because I was black.” In that moment was born the passion for freedom and justice that would change her life. A straight-A student who realized her dream of going to college when she won a basketball scholarship, she finally dared to join the NAACP in her junior year. Through the NAACP and later through CORE and SNCC, she experienced firsthand the demonstrations and sit-ins that were the mainstay of the civil rights movement—and the arrests and jailings, the shotguns, fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs, and deadly force that were used to destroy it. A deeply personal story but also a portrait of a turning point in our nation’s destiny, this autobiography lets us see history in the making, through the eyes of one of the footsoldiers in the civil rights movement. Praise for Coming of Age in Mississippi “A history of our time, seen from the bottom up, through the eyes of someone who decided for herself that things had to be changed . . . a timely reminder that we cannot now relax.”—Senator Edward Kennedy, The New York Times Book Review “Something is new here . . . rural southern black life begins to speak. It hits the page like a natural force, crude and undeniable and, against all principles of beauty, beautiful.”—The Nation “Engrossing, sensitive, beautiful . . . so candid, so honest, and so touching, as to make it virtually impossible to put down.”—San Francisco Sun-Reporter

Book Description
When forensic biochemist Claudia Reid sees the results of a routine DNA swab taken in connection with a drink-driving case, she cannot believe her eyes. Beyond rare, the profile is, as she confides to her best friend Sal, ‘outrageously unique’. Convinced she has stumbled upon a major discovery in the world of genetics, Claudia ignores the rules that forbid her from identifying the man who gave the sample and sets out to trace him, risking her job in the process. Her enquiries lead her to an art gallery in the Lake District where she is rebuffed and angrily sent packing by the gallery owner, John Andrews, who tells her he has no interest in her research and threatens to report her. While surprised and dismayed by the intensity of Andrews’ response, Claudia remains undaunted, determined to find a way to unravel the secrets hidden in his genetic code. Meanwhile, John Andrews is worried. Although he knows little about DNA, he understands that his must be very special — how else could he have lived for more than five hundred years and still show no sign of ageing? But bitter experience over the centuries has taught the quincentenarian that if his secret is discovered, he could be in mortal danger. As Claudia slowly moves closer to the incredible truth, she is unaware that she has unleashed a threat to John’s existence far greater than anything he has faced in the past. Quincentenarian was previously published as Rare Traits by David George Clarke.
