Recently at the Central Library we did a large display of staff picks with plastic-encased “Shelf Talker” sleeves. We thought we would share some of these with you:
The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan
Finished with boarding school, Bess Heath returns home to find her family’s prospects drastically changed. She also discovers love – one her family disapproves – with daredevil Tom Cole, who’s rough around the edges and reads the river like magic. Niagra Falls in 1915 is a lush setting for a story of a world and a life on the cusp of change. – Jen
Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
This historical novel is one of the best book group books ever. It has it all—complex, compelling characters (Frank Llo
yd Wright and his mistress Mamah Cheney), a whopper of an ending and just loads to discuss. – Misha
Montana 1948 by Larry Watson
This little book has it all: a wistful coming-of-age story, a haunting mystery, gripping suspense and a vivid sense of time and place. To Kill a Mockingbird’s unknown cousin. – David
