|  | Wild Iris by Louise Gluck
This haunting collection takes place in a garden, in which the voices of the flowers, the gardener, and the gods of both speak to one another in the taut emotional tenor Gluck is famous for. Pained spiritual longing and a mythic quality heighten the conversation. Based on traditional prayer, many of the poems bear the titles Matins and Vespers. AUTHOR: Louise Gluck

 | Madame Bovary by Anita Brookner, Claire Bloom, Francis Steegmuller, Gerard Hopkins, Gustave Flaubert
Flaubert's portrait of an adulteress who seeks freedom from a prosaic, disappointing life and ultimately is destroyed by her selfishness was considered scandalous when it was published. Flaubert chose his subject to illustrate his belief that any aspect of life, however trivial or vulgar, could be a subject for literature, and could be raised to the status of art by the quality of the writing.

 | So Big by Edna Ferber, Flo Gibson
A best-selling writer from Chicago, Edna Ferber had great popular appeal throughout the world. She published nine plays, two autobiographies, eleven short story collections, and thirteen novels, including Showboat, Giant, and So Big - winner of the Pulitzer Prize - the unforgettable story of Selina Peake Dejong, her marriage, widowhood, eventual success as a truck farmer, and of her son, Dirk. In So Big, Ferber simultaneously created a vivid picture of turn-of-the-century Chicago and dealt with the (still) contemporary issues of poverty, Americanization, family tensions, sexism, and success.
