We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver.

 

Traded in recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange - Guesthouse * Cafe - #Pattaya....

 

Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who tried to befriend him. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband, Franklyn.

Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistic-ally off the rails.

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver..

 

Traded in recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange - Guesthouse * Cafe - #Pattaya....

 

The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959.

They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it, from garden seeds to Scripture is calamitously transformed on African soil.

What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

The Grand Slam: Bobby Jones, America, and the Story of Golf

by Mark Frost .

 

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - #Pattaya #Thailand

 

From the author of the critically acclaimed The Greatest Game Ever Played comes The Grand Slam, a riveting, in depth look at the life and times of golf icon Bobby Jones. In the wake of the stock market crash and the dawn of the Great Depression, a ray of light emerged from the world of sports in the summer of 1930.

Bobby Jones, an amateur golfer who had already won nine of the seventeen major championships he had entered during the last seven years, mounted his final campaign against the record books.

In four months, he conquered the British Amateur Championship, the British Open, the United States Open, and finally the United States Amateur Championship, an achievement so extraordinary that writers dubbed it the Grand Slam.

I have read this. If you like sporting books it is a ripper.

Killers of the Flower Moon: Oil, Money, Murder and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann.

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange - Guesthouse * Cafe - #Pattaya....

 

From the author of The Lost City of Z, now a major film starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattison, comes a true life murder story which became one of the FBI’s first major homicide investigations.

 

In the 1920's, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma.

After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions and sent their children to study in Europe.

 

Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off.

As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case.

But the bureau badly bungled the investigation, in desperation, its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery.

Together with the Osage he and his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.

Gunfighter Nation: The Myth of the Frontier in Twentieth-Century America by Richard Slotkin

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange - Guesthouse * Cafe - #Pattaya....

 

Gunfighter Nation completes Richard Slotkin’s trilogy, begun in Regeneration Through Violence and continued in Fatal Environment, on the myth of the American frontier.

Slotkin examines an impressive array of sources, fiction, Hollywood westerns, and the writings of Hollywood figures and Washington leaders, to show how the racialist theory of Anglo-Saxon ascendance and superiority (embodied in Theodore Roosevelt’s The Winning of the West), rather than Frederick Jackson Turner’s thesis of the closing of the frontier, exerted the most influence in popular culture and government policy making in the twentieth century.
