Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - FLORA IN HER KITCHEN contains over 100 recipes as prepared by Flora Chiarello Menges of Albany, NY. Born in 1913 to an Italian immigrant family, and married for over forty years to Theodore Menges, of German-American background, Flora prepared both the old-country Italian dishes of her mother, Lucia Longo Chiarello, and the German-American recipes such as sauerbraten and apfelkuchen, beloved by her husband. This is basic home cooking--no fusion cuisine here--as practiced by a woman who has been an inspiration to her many nieces and cousins. Scheulen, Katherine (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Toronto literary scholar Deborah Heller describes Munro's treatment of mother-daughter relationships in four more recent stories, 'My Mother's Dream,' 'Family Furnishings,' 'Soon,' and 'Silence,' showing how these later works transform the earlier autobiographical material in surprising ways. 'A fascinating exploration of the uneven terrain of mother-daughter relationships . . . This raw territory, including the mutual hatreds and resentments that Munro portrays so painfully, is perhaps best dealt with in fiction. The emotional landscape is mapped carefully in Deborah Heller's thoughtful and provocative essay. Her subject is intense, and intriguing, and has made me want to go back and read Munro again.' -Pamela Hook, Los Gatos, CA 'Reading Deborah Heller's essay, one comes upon entirely new layers of meaning in Munro's stories-insights which illuminate the troubled relationships being described. Lovers of Alice Munro, mothers, daughters, feminists, and anyone interested in the mother-daughter connection-this is a 'must read'! -Susan Sherrell, Oakland, CA 'Ouch! . . . really touches a nerve!' -Beverly Marcus, Seattle, WA 'A gratifying analysis of complex daughter-mother relationships . . .' -Claudia Singer, Malden, MA.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Summer 1972 and twenty-three-year-old UC student Leah DeMartino is working at a race track north of Berkeley. She befriends a slightly older co-worker, beautiful Grace Neville. When Grace's body is found floating in San Francisco Bay, Leah's life takes an unsettling turn. She comes into contact with the fanatical but charismatic James Ferguson, head of Security for Oakland's Black Panther Party, and meets goodlooking and unpredictable Ronnie Xavier Jones, recently back from Vietnam. This story weaves together post-sixties Bay Area themes-the quest for human dignity on the part of African-Americans, the anger and rage of returning Vietnam vets who feel disrespected in their own country, the ambiguous role of the Oakland Police Department, and, above all, exciting new freedoms in love, sex and relationships.…
