Description:
MARY GUTERSON
GONE TO THE DOGS
The bookstore staff's verdict is in: our own Mary Guterson's new novel is THE beach read for the summer season. We proudly serve as the official launch for Mary's follow-up to We Are All Fine Here, her acclaimed first novel. Gone to the Dogs—whose plot is triggered when the main character steals her former boyfriend's dog—is garnering praise from all quarters, to wit the following: "Hilarious, touching, and downright inspiring, Gone to the Dogs is unrestrained good fun and an irresistible read!" ~ Garth Stein, author The Art of Racing in the Rain.
"Fans of Jennifer Weiner will eat this up like good dark chocolate." ~ Debra Dean, author of The Madonnas of Leningrad.
"With a spot-on ear for funny dialogue and illustrating the messy pratfalls in life and relationships, Gone to the Dogs is America's answer to Hornby's High Fidelity." ~ Paul at Eagle Harbor Book Co.

Known for her beloved Ya-Ya books ("Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," "Little Altars Everywhere," and "Ya-Yas in Bloom"), Rebecca Wells has helped women name, claim, and celebrate their shared sisterhood for over a decade. "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" held the top of the "New York Times" bestseller list for sixty-eight weeks, became a knockout feature film, sold more than 5 million copies, and inspired the creation of Ya-Ya clubs worldwide.
Now Wells debuts an entirely new cast of characters in this shining stand-alone novel about the pull of first love, the power of life, and the human heart's vast capacity for healing.
"The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder" is the sweet, sexy, funny journey of Calla Lily's life set in Wells's expanding fictional Louisiana landscape. In the small river town of La Luna, Calla bursts into being, a force of nature as luminous as the flower she is named for. Under the loving light of the Moon Lady, the feminine force that will guide and protect her throughout her life, Calla enjoys a blissful childhood--until it is cut short. Her mother, M'Dear, a woman of rapture and love, teaches Calla compassion, and passes on to her the art of healing through the humble womanly art of "fixing hair." At her mother's side, Calla further learns that this same touch of hands on the human body can quiet her own soul. It is also on the banks of the La Luna River that Calla encounters sweet, succulent first love, with a boy named Tuck.
A tale of family and friendship, tragedy and triumph, loss and love, "The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder" features the warmth, humor, soul, and wonder that have made Wells one of today's most cherished writers, and gives us an unforgettable new heroine to treasure. |

My Family and Other Animals
by
Durrell, Gerald Malcolm,
Durrell, Gerald Malcolm
Quite likely the most delightful book I’ve ever read and destined to be an all-time favorite, Durrell's memoir of his youth as a budding naturalist on the Greek isle of Corfu is a joy and a balm to one's cares. As lyrically insightful describing flora and fauna as he is detailing the comedic foibles of his family and the local population, he infuses his tale with warmth and a sense of wonder. Save this enormously satisfying book for your next vacation.
