Apropos of nothing, Ricardo-Junior just passed his driving-test with 49 out of 50, and reckons that the examiner was wrong about the 50th-question  ...  were WE ever that young and know-it-all  ...  before we matured to the current point, where we do know it all ?

Middlesex: A Novel by Jeffrey Eugenides

 

"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974. . . My birth certificate lists my name as Calliope Helen Stephanides. My most recent driver's license...records my first name simply as Cal."

So begins the breathtaking story of Calliope Stephanides and three generations of the Greek-American Stephanides family who travel from a tiny village overlooking Mount Olympus in Asia Minor to Prohibition-era Detroit, witnessing its glory days as the Motor City, and the race riots of l967, before they move out to the tree-lined streets of suburban Grosse Pointe, Michigan. To understand why Calliope is not like other girls, she has to uncover a guilty family secret and the astonishing genetic history that turns Callie into Cal, one of the most audacious and wondrous narrators in contemporary fiction. Lyrical and thrilling, Middlesex is an exhilarating reinvention of the American epic.

Middlesex is the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange. Absolute Friends by John le Carre

 

 

An absolutely triumphant bestseller-everywhere hailed as the masterpiece toward which John le Carre has been building since the fall of communism. This thrilling tale of Joyaity, betrayal and international espionage spans the lives of two friends from the not-torn West Berlin of the 1960s to the grimy looking-glass of Cold War Europe to the present day of terrorism and uncertain new alliances-alliances that aren't always what they seem to be.

The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer

 

 

Brad Meltzer, author of the #1 bestseller The Book of Fate, returns with his most thrilling and emotionally powerful novel to date.


In Chapter Four of the Bible, Cain kills Abel.

It is the world's most famous murder, but the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother.

That weapon is still lost to history.

In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest, while mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world's greatest hero: Superman  and like Cain's murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found.

Until now.

Today in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Cal Harper comes face to face with his family's greatest secret, his long lost father, who's been shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel's 1932 murder.

But before Cal can ask a single question, he and his father are attacked by a ruthless killer tattooed with the ancient markings of Cain and so begins the chase for the world's first murder weapon.

What does Cain, history's greatest villain, have to do with Superman, the world's greatest hero?

And what do two murders, committed thousands of years apart, have in common?

This is the mystery at the heart of Brad Meltzer's riveting and utterly intriguing new thriller.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett 

 

In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

 

 

If you liked the Century Trilogy, you’ll love the “extraordinary . . . monumental masterpiece” that changed the course of Ken Follett’s already phenomenal career.

“Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner,” on the release of The Pillars of the Earth. A departure for the bestselling thriller writer, the historical epic stunned readers and critics alike with its ambitious scope and gripping humanity.

Today, it stands as a testament to Follett’s unassailable command of the written word and to his universal appeal. 
 
The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect, a man divided in his soul   of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state and brother against brother.

 
A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett’s historical masterpiece.
