Alisha Valdes-Rodriguez
The Dirty Girls Social Club
Bonded tight since their days at Boston University, six friends
form the Dirty Girls Social Club to dish, dine and compare notes
on the bumpy course of life and love. Laugh and cry along with
Loren, the reluctant columnist for the local paper, who spies
on her cheating boyfriend; Sara, the perfect hobo wife and mother,
who pays a hefty price for what she wants; Amber, the valley girl,
who seeks fame as a singer; Elizabeth, the stunning black Columbian,
whose personal life conflicts with her high-profile job; Rebecca,
who runs the magazine she created for Latinas while her marriage
is falling apart; and Usnavy, larger than life, who seeks a man
of fortune at the risk of passing by love.
Eric Jerome Dickey
The Other Woman
Eric Jerome Dickey's eighth novel begins with a couple
struggling with the difficult circumstances of a modern marriage:
he works days, she works nights; and they each wonder what it
means to be married if they never see each other. But it is not
until the woman receives an unexpected call, telling her that
her husband is having an affair, that their relationship is brought
to the brink. What follows is the explosive, emotional story of
their reckoning and reconciliation.
Joyce Carol Oates
The Tattooed Girl
Joshua Seigi is a celebrated but reclusive author. Young but
in failing health, he reluctantly admits that he can no longer
live alone and launches a search for an assistant. He is dissatisfied
with everyone he meets until he encounters Alma. A young woman
with synthetic-looking blond hair and pale, tattooed skin, she
stirs something inside him. Unaware of her torturous past and
the hatred that seethes within her, he has no idea that he is
bringing an enemy into his home: a virulent anti-Semite who despises
him. With her unique, masterful balance of dark suspense and surprising
tenderness, Joyce Carol Oates probes the tragedy of ethnic hatred
and challenges accepted limits of desire.
