All Books Pete Hamill Bibliography Book Marks Author Info "Forever" Brick and mortar booksellers are going to have a hard time categorizing the latest work by journalist Pete Hamill. Forever is the story of a young Irishman who immigrates to America in 1741, befriends an African shaman and is granted the gift of eternal life, as long as he stays on the island of Manhattan. The closest category I could devise would be "magically real historical fiction with a little bit of urban biography thrown in for good measure." Try finding that on the shelves of your local Barnes and Noble. Luckily, online, we have no such restrictions and may as just call it a pretty good read. Forever Hamill is a journalist of course, not a historian or a novelist, so we get quite a bit about the sanctity of journalism and its evolution in the streets of New York. He is aware of sensory details and we learn a great deal about the sights, sounds, and especially the smells of New York. Let's face it, for a long time the city stunk. The lack of water and the feral pigs didn't help matters much. In 2001, a slightly less malodorous time, Cormac meets a young Dominican woman, Delfina Citron. We find out about 200 pages from the end that she works in the World Trade Center, and he is careful to tell us her office is on the 84th floor. Hamill had originally finished this book on September 10, 2001 and had to rewrite the ending in order to accommodate the events of September 11. He deals with the tragedy head on, personalizing it for Cormac in a most profound way.

All Books Janet Wallach Bibliography Book Marks Author Info "Seraglio" "She hesitated for a moment, as if there was something else she wanted to say, but then she seemed to change her mind. Instead, her jaw clenched and her voice grew louder. "They cannot make me a slave. I am a du Buc De Rivery." I shook my head as much in sadness as in anger. Had she not understood? It did not matter who she was. The past was gone. Only the present was important. And at present, and for the rest of her life, she was and would be a slave. Janet Wallach's first novel is based on the true story of Aimee du Buc de Rivery, a 13-year-old girl, kidnapped on the high seas by Algerian pirates and presented as a gift to Abdul Hamid, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1788. She was returning to her homeland, Martinique, after being educated in a French convent, when she was abducted and became a slave in the Sultan's harem. The headstrong and precocious girl becomes one of the hundreds of female slaves, who is taught art, music, dancing, and how to "please a man," among other things. She is renamed Nakshidil, which means "embroidered on the heart."
