 | The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman by Bruce Robinson
Meet 13-year old Thomas Penman, the endearing hero of Bruce Robinson`s highly acclaimed first novel. In a family of eccentrics in which husband and wife wage silent war with each other, Thomas forms a special bond with his beloved grandfather, a bit daft due to a wartime head injury and prone to an outrageous and scandalous nasty habit. With the sly humor and irreverence of A Confederacy of Dunces, this impressive debut novel traces Thomas`s painful and often hilarious rite of passage into adulthood. Thomas smokes his first cigarette, has his first drink, and pursues the object of his affection, the gorgeous Gwendolyn Hackett; and what begins as a routine search for his grandfather`s legendary pornography collection, culminates in Thomas`s discovery of the truth about his family life even as it collapses around him.

 | Solitaire & Brahms by Sarah Dreher
A reflective novel of emerging lesbian identity by the creator of Stoner McTavish, one of the most beloved lesbian detectives . Here is the more serious side of the popular Stoner McTavish author. Dreher goes back in time to the early '60s when consciousness of lesbian identity was much harder to admit to, even on a private, most personal level. Shelby Camden is a young career woman who wonders why her engagement and impending marriage seem to constrict her to the point of depression and drink. Then she meets her new neighbor, the independent Fran Jarvis with whom she finds she can share her innermost thoughts. As they begin to understand what they mean to each other, it is still an uneasy passage towards self-realization. For Shelby the struggle slips into confusion, helplessness and self-destruction, while Fran tries to rally from her own turmoil enough to be there for the woman she loves. This is a gritty, painstaking look at the struggle for lesbian identity before Stonewall. AUTHOR: Sarah Dreher
