Worlds End by T.C. Boyle
Haunted by the burden of his family's traitorous past, woozy with pot, cheap wine and sex, and disturbed by a frighteningly real encounter with some family ghosts, Walter van Brunt is about to have a collision with history.
It will lead Walter to search for his lost father. And it will send the story into the past of the Hudson River Valley, from the late 1960s back to the anticommunist riots of the 1940s to the late seventeenth century, where the long-hidden secrets of three families the aristocratic van Warts, the Native-American Mohonks, and Walter's own ancestors, the van Brunts will be revealed.
Meet the T.C. Boyle at the Paramount Theater October 17, 2009

Breath, Eyes, Memory A Novel by Edwidge Danticat
Twelve year old Sophie Caco lives in Haiti with her aunt Atie who has raised her from birth. Her mother lives in New York City and has been sending money home but now has sent a ticket for Sophie to go live with her. Through this story we learn about the women of Haiti and we visit this island with its sugar fields and road side stands.
Danticat draws on her own experience to write this story. The prose is gentle, the story is not. This book deserves to be read at least twice.
Loan copies will also be available at the Field Library
