NOTES<br />

BY SUSAN FARRELL<br />

“A good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit,<br />

embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life”. John Milton<br />

Featured Books for January<br />

Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver<br />

A charming, beautifully crafted story, rife with similes and metaphors, by the author of the Bean Trees.<br />

Kingsolver addresses climate change, faith, ecology, and other social issues in a colorful section of<br />

Appalachia.<br />

Thomas Jefferson: The Act of Power by Jon Meacham<br />

A biography of our third President, highlighting our<br />

need to understand Jefferson to be able to understand<br />

America. A celebration of Jefferson’s skills as a practical<br />

politician. One of the twenty best page turners during<br />

this past holiday season, according to the Stuart News<br />

Book review.<br />

Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan<br />

A literary novel that’s a scintillating spy story with a<br />

female protagonist written from the male view point by<br />

the award winning author of Atonement. It's worth<br />

reading through the political philosophies of the early<br />

70’s in Great Britain to reach a spectacular conclusion.<br />
