Paperback. Zustand: Good. Songs in Ordinary Time is set in the summer of 1960 - the last of quiet times and America's innocence. It centers on Marie Fermoyle, a strong but vulnerable woman whose loneliness and ambition for her children make her easy prey for the dangerous con man Omar Duvall. Marie's children are Alice, seventeen - involved with a troubled young priest; Norm, sixteen - hotheaded and idealistic; and Benjy, twelve - isolated and misunderstood, and so desperate for his mother's happiness that he hides the deadly truth only he knows about Duvall. Among a fascinating cast of characters we meet the children's alcoholic father, Sam Fermoyle, now living with his senile mother and embittered sister; Sam's meek brother-in-law, who makes anonymous love calls from the bathroom of his ailing appliance store; and the Klubock family, who - in complete contrast to the Fermoyles - live an orderly life in the perfect house next door. An Oprah Winfrey Book Club pick. …

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. This is a collection of women's travel writings, including work by Joan Didion, Edith Wharton, Mildred Cable, Willa Cather, Isak Dinesen, and others. In wry, lyrical, and sometimes wistful voices, they write of disguising themselves as men for safety, of longing for family left behind or falling in love with people met along the way, and of places as diverse as icy Himalayan passes and dusty American pioneer towns, the darkly wooded Siberian landscape and the lavender-covered hills of Provence. Yet even as their voices, experiences, and paths vary, they share with one another-and with us as readers-reflections upon their gender as it is illuminated by unfamiliar surroundings. Edited and with an Introduction by Mary Morris, in collaboration with Larry O'Connor. Contributors and writings include: Mary Wollstonecraft, "Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark" Flora Tristan, "Peregrinations of a Pariah" Frances Trollope, from "Domestic Manners of the Americans" Eliza Farnham, from "Life in Prairie Land" Isabella Bird, from "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains" Margaret Fountaine, from "Love Among the Butterflies" Gertrude Bell, from "The Desert and the Sown" Edith Wharton, from "In Morocco" Willa Cather, from "Willa Cather in Europe" Isak Dinesen, from "Out of Africa" Kate O'Brien, from "Farewell Spain" Rebecca West, from "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon" Ella Maillart, from "The Cruel Way" Emily Hahn, from "Times and Places" M.F.K. Fisher, from "Long Ago in France" Joan Didion, from "The White Album" Christina Dodwell, from "Travels with Fortune: An African Adventure" Annie Dillard, from "Teaching a Stone to Talk" Gwendolyn MacEwen, from "Noman's Land".…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. One of NPR's Best Books of 2020From the author of Nothing to Declare, a new travel narrative examining healing, redemption, and what it means to be a solo woman on the road. Mary Morris has long been a master memoirist.and has even more to teach us about the lengths to which we must go to reach our deepest selves. I loved this book.-Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance In the tradition of Wild by Cheryl Strayed and Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, Mary Morris turns a personal catastrophe into a rich, multilayered memoir full of personal growth, family history, and thrilling travel. In February 2008 a casual afternoon of ice skating derailed the trip of a lifetime. Mary Morris was on the verge of a well-earned sabbatical, but instead she endured three months in a wheelchair, two surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation. On Easter Sunday, when she was supposed to be in Morocco, Morris was instead lying on the sofa reading Death in Venice, casting her eyes over these words again and again: He would go on a journey. Not far. Not all the way to the tigers. Disaster shifted to possibility and Morris made a decision. When she was well enough to walk again (and her doctor wasn't sure she ever would), she would go all the way to the tigers. So begins a three-year odyssey that takes Morris to India in search of the world's most elusive apex predator. Her first lesson: don't look for a tiger because you won't find it--you look for signs of a tiger. And all unseen tigers, hiding in the bush, are referred to as she. Morris connects deeply with these magnificent and highly endangered animals, and her weeks on tiger safari also afford a new understanding of herself. Written in over a hundred short chapters, All the Way to the Tigers offers an elegiac, wry, and wise look at a woman on the road and the glorious, elusive creature she seeks.…
