Description:
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupilsPagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults.

Description:
Updike's First NovelMuch of the plot of Couples (which opens on the evening of March 24, 1962 and integrates historical events like the loss of the USS Thresher on April 10, 1963, the Profumo affair, and the Kennedy assassination in November 1963) concerns the efforts of its characters to balance the pressures of Protestant sexual mores against increasingly flexible American attitudes toward sex in the 1960s. The book suggests that this relaxation may have been driven by the development of birth control and the opportunity to enjoy what one character refers to as "the post-pill paradise."

Description:
Scribner (1986), First Edition ,Fourth Printing July,1986.Book and DJ Near Fine.A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Hemingway worked on the manuscript for the next 15 years, during which time he also wrote The Old Man and the Sea, The Dangerous Summer, A Moveable Feast, and Islands in the Stream.
The novel is fundamentally the story of five months in the lives of David Bourne, an American writer, and his wife, Catherine. It is set mainly in the French Riviera, specifically in the Côte d'Azur, and in Spain. The story begins with their honeymoon in the Camargue. The Bournes soon meet a young woman named Marita, with whom they both fall in love, but only one can ultimately have her. David starts an affair with Marita, while his relationship with his wife deteriorates. The story continues until the apparent separation of David and Catherine.

Description:
Joan Dash was born in Brooklyn, New York, on July 18, 1925, graduated from Barnard College, and currently resides in Seattle, Washington, with her physicist husband, Jay Gregory Dash. They have three children. Three biographical studies with a single feminist motif. How does a successful woman, achieving career eminence in her own right, handle the demands of marriage and children? What sort of man does she marry and how does his male ego assimilate the reflected glory of a more gifted and illustrious mate? Dash pursues this theme in the lives of her three heroines -- Margaret Sanger, the founder-evangelist of the American birth control movement; Edna St. Vincent Millay, the gamine poetess who sang ""a woman's right to love as willfully and capriciously as a man,"" and Maria Goeppert-Mayer, he first woman ever to receive a Nobel Prize in theoretical physics. Dash avoids any semblance of doctrinaire feminism; with great sensitivity her subjects are refracted through the women's lib prism. It is ,by…

Description:
Universally acclaimed when first published in 1955, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit captured the mood of a generation. It was a national bestseller that was made into an award-winning film, it was translated into twenty-six languages, and its title has become a permanent part of our cultural vocabulary. Today, it is more relevant than ever.Here is the story of Tom and Betsy Rath, a young couple with everything going for them: three healthy children, a nice home, a steady income. They have every reason to be happy, but for some reason they are not. Largely autobiographical based on the author's time spent as the assistant director of the U.S. National Citizen Commission for Public Schools, the novel was adapted into a film starring Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones just one year after its original publication.
