Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Chloe Dale's life is in good order. Her only child, Toby, has started his junior year at New York University; her academic husband Brendan is on sabbatical, working at home on his book about the Crusades; and Chloe has been commissioned to illustrate Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights for the limited editions book market. The Dales' old house in rural New York is book-crammed, comfortable and finally paid up. Her complacency is shattered by the introduction of Toby's new girlfriend, Salome Drago. Salome, raised in the Croatian expatriate community in Louisiana, is a toxic mix of the old world and the new: intelligent, superstitious, sly and confident. She provokes in the mild-mannered Toby tumultuous emotions hitherto unknown to him. Chloe distrusts Salome on sight. Increasingly alienated from her tolerant husband and besotted son, she turns to her work. As Toby's obsession for her grows, Salome decides to penetrate the thicket of lies surrounding the death of her mother during the Serbian occupation of her family's home town. Salome's subsequent disappearance into the still seething hatreds of the former Yugoslavia and Toby's decision to leave school and follow her, bring the Dales to a confrontation with dark and chaotic forces that threaten to terminate their tenuous occupancy of the realms of light. Valerie Martin's long-awaited novel is a brilliant study of jealousy, both sexual and territorial, and of the wreck of reason by the locomotive of passionate love. ine,firsst edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} MLBS1.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Author's debut, a story collection that was nominated for both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction National Book Award. Haslett gives us nine richly varied stories, each suffused with intense emotion and written in a lyric prose alternatively lush and spare. YOU ARE NOT A STRANGER HERE carries its readers into the hearts and minds of people facing life's most profound dilemmas. We meet an aging inventor still burning with ideas as he makes a final visit to his gay son. A psychiatrist's encounter with a reluctant patient reveals a young doctor's own needs and fears. An orphaned boy finds solace in a classmate's violence. The return of an old lover disturbs the peace between a brother and sister who have lived together for decades. In settings that range from New England to Great Britain, from Los Angeles to the American West, the stories in this book treat what Faulkner called the old verities and truths of the heart: love and honor, pity and pride, compassion and sacrifice. They do so with heartbreaking precision and an often generous humor, drawing us past the surface of characters' lives into the moments of decision and recognition that shape them irrevocably. Together these stories constitute a significant achievement by a powerful new writer.
