New Books for November
We have lots of exciting new non-fiction this month, including three notable biographies. Keith Richard’s Life has been well received, as the famous rocker exhibits a surprising recall of his wild life.A different reading experience is promised by Bismark, a life of the German statesman by Jonathan Steinberg.
Hemingway continues to fascinate and award winning writer Paul Hendrickson offers Hemingway’s Boat: Everything he loved in Life and Lost, 1934-1961. Lighter fare is on tap with Elizabeth Bard’s Lunch in Paris, subtitled “A Love Story with Recipes” – where else but in France?
Finally in the non-fiction line we have Arguably from the argumentative and controversial Christopher Hitchens and, very appropriate for our part of the world, Ethan Allen, by Willard Sterne Randall.
Boxes of new fiction keep arriving, too. Mystery favorites Donna Leon ( Drawing Conclusions) and Iris Johansen ( Bonnie, the last of her trilogy) are on the shelves.
Stefan Merill Block has a new novel about family secrets out, Storm at the Door, while long time favorite Alice Hoffman has another book about magic in everyday life, The Dovekeepers. Finally, for action fans, we have Trackers, a new thriller by Deon Meyer set in South Africa, a popular fiction venue lately with Hampton readers.
