A medical school dropout, she’s come back to small-town Everton, New Hampshire, to care for her father, who is dying from a mysterious brain disease. Natural-born healer Emma Starling once had big plans for her life, but she’s lost her way. Both funny and sad, the kind of story we like best. It was a source of entertainment at Maple Street Cemetery. Longlisted for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize.ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Book Riot You’ll fall in love with the offbeat cast of characters (both living and dead) and find yourself rooting for them right through the last page.”- Good Housekeeping (Book Club pick)Ī lost young woman returns to small-town New Hampshire under the strangest of circumstances in this one-of-a-kind novel of life, death, and whatever comes after from the acclaimed author of Rabbit Cake. “This tragicomic novel is heartfelt, touching, and delightfully quirky. He was carjacking, unaware that Wren was hidden in the back of the car, frightened out of her mind. Years and years ago Darra’s father accidentally kidnapped a young girl by the name of Wren Abbot. Her problem is that she does know someone and, worse, that person knows her too. When you go to a new summer camp you usually have to deal with not knowing anyone. The result is that “Hidden” manages to be both a book of poetry and a wholly original story of two girls bound together by a singular, accidental crime.

Earlier this year I reviewed Bob Raczka’s Lemonade: and Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word which required the reader’s eyes to leap around the page, piecing together the words. A poem is a kind of puzzle, isn’t it? Depending on the kind of poem you have to make the syllables and words conform to a preexisting format.

And it was during these trips to Maine, the site of much of his research, where he first noticed this "unusual" behavior of ravens. Why do ravens, generally understood to be solitary creatures, share food between each other during winter? This was the question Bernd Heinrich asked himself as he was observing another one of his prime research subjects, the highly social bumblebee. Wilson to call it "one of the most interesting discoveries I've seen in animal sociobiology in years," Ravens In Winter is a scientist's impassioned study to understand the mysterious social habits of one of nature's most formidable birds, the raven.
