In her first book since THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING, Joan Didion has now written with stunning frankness BLUE NIGHTS, a book about her daughter, Quintana Roo, as well as thoughts and fears about having children and about growing old.
In HEARTWOOD by Belva Plain, Iris Stern is an old-fashioned woman living in a modern time. Stress on her daughter, granddaughter, husband, and herself will cause an age-old secret about the family to come out, and it seems as though it may tear the family itself apart. But like the inmost rings of a tree that abide through the generations, Iris will be as strong as heartwood.
