 | Miss Marjoribanks by Margaret Oliphant
The esteemed English critic Q. D. Leavis declared Margaret Oliphant's heroine Lucilla to be the missing link in nineteenth-century literature between Jane Austen's Emma and George Eliot's Dorothea Brooke, and more entertaining, more impressive, and more likeable than either. Miss Marjoribanks is perhaps the most famous novel in The Chronicles of Carlingford -- Oliphant's popular series of short stories and novels chronicling the middle-class mores of a fictional English provincial town. The novel's heroine, Lucilla Marjoribanks, returns home to tend her widowed father and soon launches herself into Carlingford society, aiming to raise the tone with her select Thursday evening parties. Optimistic, resourceful, and blithely unimpeded by self-doubt, Lucilla is a superior being in every way, not least in relation to men. Margaret Oliphant's acclaimed biographer, Elisabeth Jay, has edited and introduced this Penguin Classics edition. AUTHOR: Margaret Oliphant

 | Chang & Eng by Darin Strauss
This debut novel is the fictional account of two real people: the famous Siamese twins, Chang and Eng Bunker, who were joined at the chest and shared a stomach. Narrated by Eng, their story is a poignant one, particularly for the narrator. Eng dreams of separation as opposed to his more stolid brother, who is a happy hard-drinking extrovert. The two worked for years in a freak show, married, and between them had 21 children. This novel explores not merely the sensational aspects of the twins' lives but also the question of identity and the boundaries of what is normal. AUTHOR: Darin Strauss
