FIC Bailey's Café
Naylor, Gloria
LP-0166
Welcome to Bailey's Café, a magnet
for a variety of society's drifters, each
with a story to tell.
FIC Tea & Tiramisu
Nelson, Karen
LP-2481
Miranda is house-sitting for her
daughter and her Italian son-in-law in
Venice on the edge of the Grand
Canal. The Palazzo Bobolino seems to
have attracted a selection of British
waifs and strays, all determined to
experience the "real" Italy. Miranda
has fallen once before for Venice's
false charms, and she's not about to
make the same mistake twice. Venice
may have passion and a flair for
melodrama, but Miranda would much
rather settle for tea and toast than a
cappuccino any day of the week.
FIC Mutiny on the Bounty
Nordhoff, Charles
LP-2030
The story of H. M. S. Bounty, which
set sail from England in 1787, bound
for Tahiti. In charge was Lieutenant
Bligh, a harsh taskmaster. Interminable
storms lengthened the voyage, rations
ran low, and as his temper increased,
Bligh raged at his underfed and
embittered crew. The halcyon days
that followed their eventual arrival in
Tahiti, the soothing influence of the
women, and the fresh food, quieted the
44
men. But shortly after the return
voyage had begun, Bligh's tyranny
once more brought rebellion to the
breaking point, and with the island still
fresh in their memory, the men
suddenly rose in mutiny.
FIC Beasts
Oates, Joyce C.
LP-2710
Set in an apparently idyllic New
England college town, "Beasts" is the
story of Gillian Brauer, a student who
falls in love with her professor, his
Bohemian lifestyle, and
antiestablishment attitudes, and what
happens when she falls under his spell.
FIC Back Roads
O'Dell, Tawni
LP-2414
(Also available in regular print
(BB-2938)). Oprah's Book Club. With
his abusive father dead (at the hands of
his mother), and his mother in jail (for
a crime most people seem to regard as
a good deed), 19-year-old Harley
Altmyer's family is somewhere beyond
dysfunctional. College is out, he's got
three needy younger sisters on his
hands. Can he rise to the occasion?
More important, will the sexy mom of
his baby sister's best friend provide a
much-needed tumble in the hay?
