Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. A sudden death, a never-mailed postcard, and a longburied secret set the stage for a luminous and heartbreakingly real novel about lost souls finding one another The Darby-Jones boardinghouse in Ruby Falls, New York, is home to Mona Jones and her daughter, Oneida, two loners and self-declared outcasts who have formed a perfectly insular family unit: the two of them and the three eclectic boarders living in their house. But their small, quiet life is upended when Arthur Rook shows up in the middle of a nervous breakdown, devastated by the death of his wife, carrying a pink shoe box containing all his wife's mementos and keepsakes, and holding a postcard from sixteen years ago, addressed to Mona but never sent. Slowly the contents of the box begin to fit together to tell a story--one of a powerful friendship, a lost love, and a secret that, if revealed, could change everything that Mona, Oneida, and Arthur know to be true. Or maybe the stories the box tells and the truths it brings to life will teach everyone about love--how deeply it runs, how strong it makes us, and how even when all seems lost, how tightly it brings us together. With emotional accuracy and great energy, Kate Racculia's This Must Be the Place introduces memorable, charming characters that refuse to be forgotten.…

In this, Bonnie's sixth story collection, you'll quickly see why Erskine Caldwell called Bonnie's third collection, Too Hot & Other Maine Stories, "a masterful achievement." The praise for Bonnie's work continued, for Publishers Weekly called him "a master raconteur." Why? Simple enough: Bonnie was a writer unafraid to write a story that's a story. With loving strokes he depicted character, plot, conflict, and resolution -- a combination all too hard to find in contemporary short fiction. Frederic Joseph Bonnie (born October 11, 1945 in Bridgton, Maine; died May 13, 2000 near Spartanburg, South Carolina) was a novelist and former gardening editor for Southern Living magazine. Bonnie earned a bachelor of arts from the University of Vermont in 1971 and attended several universities over the next few years, working in college libraries from 1966 to 1969 and editing the literary journal Isinglass Review from 1968 to 1974. He worked for Garden Way Publishing in Burlington, Vermont in 1973 before coming to Birmingham in 1974 to work at Southern Living. He left the magazine in 1979 to write fiction while freelancing for Vulcan Materials and for the Dyatron Corporation. Bonnie completed a master of fine arts in creative writing at UAB, and taught fiction writing for UAB Special Studies from 1978 to 1982. From Booklist: Each of these dozen stories is dedicated to an acknowledged master of American fiction, usually one best known for his or her short stories. Indeed, a particular story often seems to echo its dedicatee. The title story, dedicated to O. Henry, has a surprise at its ending. "On the Postcard Road" tells of a cross-country drive, as might be expected of a story "for Jack Kerouac," though the macabre circumstances of this trip seem like something perhaps out of Flannery O'Connor, the dedicatee of "Those Are the Terms," which, appropriately enough, is about sex and religion. "The Friends of the Trees" is "for Robert Penn Warren" and echoes his famous novel All the King's Men by being a political story, albeit one wackier and far smaller time than Willie Stark's career. What distinguishes those stories and the other six, too, is their magnetic readability, a result of Bonnie's skill at quickly limning utterly lifelike characterizations, incidents, and dialogue. These are fundamentally comic and optimistic stories, handled so surely that they can lunge toward sentimentality, as "Detecting Metal" does most daringly, and yet achieve emotional truth because everything in them rings so true. Bonnie is a peer of his dedicatees: read him. Ray Olson. Sylvia Martin (Author photograph) (illustrator).…
