People of the
Book
Geraldine Brooks
In this, Brooks's first novel since winning the Pulizer for March, she artfully
reimagines the history of the Sarajevo Haggadah--traces this beautiful illustrated text across the centuries, as it touches the lives of people
throughout some of the worst times in our history. Romantic in the best sense of the word, with more than a trace of Dan Brown thrown
in.
Publisher price: $25.95
Gibson's price: $20.76
The Reserve
Russell Banks
A novel of romance and intrigue on an international canvas from one of our greatest stylists and the only
nationally known author to have lived above Concord's Apple Tree Bookstore-- Russell Banks. Set in a world as far from Affliction as
can be, The Reserve demonstrates Banks's versatility and mastery of character.

House Lust
Daniel McGinn
So much of our personal identity is tied up in our homes (and our cars, but that's a
different book) that it's hard to tell where our personalities end and our marble countertops begin. But this new national pastime--House
Lust--has taken its toll on our wallets, our relationships, our national wealth, and our sanity. How did we get to this point, and what's
next?

Christine
Falls
Benjamin Black (aka John Banville)
Booker Prize winner John Banville takes a holiday to write this stylish noir under a
pseudonym. (How many other great writers have used pseudonyms to take a walk on the dark side? Julian Barnes and Joyce Carol Oates come to mind
... I wonder why Graham Greene never did?) Anyway, here's a thriller with panache. Our anti-hero, Quirke, is a 1950s Dublin
pathologist with a bad attitude and a murder mystery on his hands...
