EVOCACIÓN
March, Aleida
Non-Fiction-Biography / Autobiography
|
|
Evocación is the memoir of Aleida March, the widow of Che Guevara. This book offers a singular perspective on Che Guevara by the woman who knew him best during the years that cemented him as a major historical figure. The book is both an elegant love story and a rich political memoir. It will include previously unpublished love letters and poetry from Che to Aleida as well as photographs of the young family. Aleida grew up in rural Cuba. As a young woman she moved to the city to become a teacher, but was quickly drawn to the ideals and the momentum of the budding revolution. Being both intelligent and fearlessly committed, Aleida worked her way up through the inner circles of the revolutionary movement until she was serving as Che’s personal assistant. It didn’t take long for Aleida and Che to recognize the fierce connection between them. The pair married shortly after the revolution and gave birth to three children. Six years after their wedding, Che was executed in Bolivia. Publication date: May 2007 Spanish manuscript in e-mail is available 2007-03-21

Hendricks, Vicki

Against contrasting backdrops of Miami’s gaudy vacationland, the haunting atmosphere of Everglades, Vicki Hendricks captures the Florida behind postcards.
Renata is young, beautiful, and has sex for money and kicks. Few are immunate to her intoxicating allure, even her pet Burmese python, Pepe, seems captive to her charm. Richard is one of her clients, a poetry professor with a wife and two sons, whose erotic fascination with Rennie is theatening his home and job. Meanwhile, Julie, a shy, wannabe-novelist, spies on Rennie from her room next door in between bouts of frustrated writing. Both would do anything to save Rennie from her dangerous occupation and become her one true love.
Narrated by these three characters, Cruel Poetry is a gripping story of fatal attraction, energized by high-voltage sex and suspense.

THE PIRATE’S DAUGHTER
Cezair-Thompson, Margaret
Fiction-Fiction
|
|
#1 BOOK SENSE PICK, OCTOBER 2007
An unforgettable story of love and adventure, spanning three decades of Jamaican history.
After a long and storied career of swashbuckling on the silver screen, Errol Flynn spent much of the last years of his life on a small island off of Jamaica, throwing parties and sleeping with increasingly younger girls.
THE PIRATE'S DAUGHTER is the story of Ida, a local girl who has an affair with Flynn that produces a daughter, May, who meets her father but once.
As adept with Jamaican vernacular as she is at revealing the internal machinations of a fading and bloated matinee idol, Cezair-Thompson weaves a saga of a mother and daughter finding their way in a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of independence.
