THIS IS A LOVE STORY By JESSICA THOMPSON Bt.325 9781444740066 This is a love story. Boy meets girl and girl falls for boy - that much is true. But when Sienna meets Nick it’s not the way it happens in love stories. It’s because of a squirrel on water skis...She sees Nick’s dangerous brown eyes and thinks, Don’t. Fall. Into. Them. Who will be there to catch Siena when she falls? She is so fragile. She has so many secrets, and he is not that serious. Funny and sad, this is the story of two people destined never to come together in the great love affair they crave more than anything else.

THE FLOWERS OF WAR By GELING YAN Bt.550 9781846555893
Deep in the heart of Paris, its oldest cemetery is, by 1785, overflowing, tainting the very breath of those who live nearby. Into their midst comes Jean-Baptiste Baratte, a young, provincial engineer charged by the king with demolishing it. At first Baratte sees this as a chance to clear the burden of history, a fitting task for a modern man of reason. But before long, he begins to suspect that the destruction of the cemetery might be a prelude to his own. The Winner of Costa Novel Award 2011!
This moving novel is based on true events that took place during the Nanjing Massacre in 1937 when the Japanese invaded the Chinese city, slaughtering not only soldiers but raping and murdering the civilian population as well. It tells the story of an American missionary who, for a few terrifying days, finds himself sheltering a group of schoolgirls, prostitutes and wounded Chinese soldiers in the compound of his church. The novel shows how war challenges our prejudices and that love can flourish amidst death and destruction. It is now a major film by Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

Author of The Month Kathryn Stockett Kathryn Stockett was born in Jackon, Missisippi in 1969. She graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in English and Creative Writing. After that she moved to New York City and worked in magazine publishing and marketing for 9 years. The Help is her first novel.
Synopsis: Set in the 1960s, this is an empowering and impressive story about very different and courageous women in the South who build their friendship around a secret writing project. Skeeter: Newly graduated from Ole Miss with a degree in English, she returns to her parent’s cotton farm in Jackson. She’s actually not a racist. However, when her best friends make a political issue of not permitting their “helps” to use the toilets in their houses, she makes a decision to write a book about the helps’ experiences in community. Abileen: A black maid who lost her own son. She devotes herself to the little girl in her care. She is the first maid who discovers her voice and the courage to criticize the conventions of the 1960s. Minny: Abileen’s best friend. She’s very good at cooking but her sass always makes her lose a job. Finally, she can find one but her new boss has secrets of her own. The film was released in 2011 and also nominated as Best Motion Picture and Best Actress in drama in the Golden Globes 2012.
