Welcome!
|
November is the perfect month to reflect on how lucky our lives have been. Here in Central Oregon we live surrounded by natural beauty. We are thankful for living amid such opulent splendor. Life has not been so kind to many. Greg Nokes will be here on November 28th at 5:00 PM to give a presentation on Massacred for Gold, his book about an evil chapter in Northwest history. 34 Chinese miners were brutally murdered in the remote Hells Canyon area, their killers never paid for the crime. Greg will have slides and a fascinating presentation. Send us an e-mail or give us a call to sign up to attend this free event and be entered in the drawings for door prizes. December will also have fascinating author appearances, Karen Karbo will be with us on December 5th. Check out the events section of our website for more details on the upcoming appearances. Rich has a bunch of recommendations for our readers of all ages in the store picks section of the website. We wish you a happy Thanksgiving and hope we see you soon at Sunriver Books & Music.

A Grave in Gaza
by
Rees, Matt
This international mystery beautifully depicts the sights, smells, and sounds of both the historical and modern-day Gaza Strip. The conflicts of the UN, Israelis, and Palestinians are descriptive, bold, and humane -- a truly wonderful read by a literary storyteller from the Mideast!--Kathleen Dixon, Islandtime Books &More (Washington Island, WI) |

The Most They Ever Had
by
Bragg, Rick
In spring of 2001, across the South, padlocks and logging chains bind the doors of silent mills, and it seems a miracle to blue-collar people in Jacksonville, Alabama, that their mill survived. In these real-life stories, Pulitzer Prize winner Bragg brilliantly evokes the hardscrabble lives of those who lived and died by an American cotton mill. |

Description: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café by Fannie Flagg is a wonderful choice for the Fiction Book Club’s meeting Monday November 16th at 6:30. Evelyn Couch is a beleaguered, woefully overwhelmed, powerless woman. Visiting her mother in law at a nursing home out of a sense of duty, the woman hates her, she meets Ninny Threadgoode. Ninny tells her stories from the 1930’s and listens to her woes. Eveyln begins to feel more empowered more in charge of her life. Ninny’s stores center on Ruth and Idgie. Ruth marries Frank, a handsome man who gives her a son, then beats her. Idgie rescues Ruth and her son from her abusive husband. Idgie and Ruth open the Whistle Stop Café. There are dark secrets, lifelong friendship, and strange justice in the story. The characters are beyond lively; they are drawn with humor, a zesty spirit, and compassion. This is one of those books you will not want to put down.
