Binchy, Maeve Tara Road
July 18, 2000 0-440-23559-6 Paperback used; very good
Oprah Book ClubŪ Selection, September 1999: Against all odds, two newlywedsmanage to buy the house of their dreams. In 1982, property speculation isbeginning to be a big, big thing in Dublin--and their street is very much in an up-and-coming part of town. "They laughed and hugged each other. DannyLynch from the broken-down cottage in the back of beyond and Ria Johnson from the corner house in the big, shabby estate were not only living like gentry in a big Tara Road mansion, they were actually debating what style ofdining table to buy." But for its various inhabitants, the street is to become a boulevard of dreams--some broken, others created anew. Maeve Binchy has long proved herself a secure hand at multiple story lines, and over thecourse of 500 satisfying pages she focuses on Ria; her best friend, Rosemary Ryan, a beautiful, endlessly selfish career woman; Gertie, the battered wife of a drunkard; and several other intriguing women, each of whom has secrets not to be shared. There is even an all-knowing fortune teller who early on hints that Ria will travel and start a successful business--two thingsshe knows are definitely not in the offing.

Binchy, Maeve The Return Journey
June 8, 1999 0-440-22459-4 Paperback used; excellent
The Return Journey is a collection of 14 short stories of life, love, and learning that enables the most harried reader to enjoy a well-told tale in its entirety before checking on the kids or folding the clothes. In the tradition of Binchy's classic tales Circle of Friends and Tara Road, this consummate summer beach book introduces readers not to models of literary and romantic indefectibility, but to folks just like us, who have bad hair days,runs in their hose, and freckles both physical and metaphorical. The titlestory paints a portrait of the embattled relationship between a mother wholeft her home in Dunglass, Ireland, and her daughter, who has traveled to Ireland to find her history and finds love, as well. Through weekly correspondence, mother and daughter repair the damage to their relationship, layingto rest ghosts of an earlier mother-daughter relationship gone irrevocablywrong. And Binchy's "Victor and St. Valentine" renews faith that truly romantic men do exist and are often overlooked, their motives suspect in an increasingly self-reliant world.

As she nurses him through his lengthy convalescence, they acknowledge the strength of their affection.

Bird, Sarah The Yokota Officers Club : A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
October 29, 200 0-345-45277-1 Trade Size Pap used: excellent condition
Stories nestle inside stories like a set of Russian dolls in Bird's (Virginof the Rodeo) wonderful fifth novel. Set in the late 1960s, it is narratedby 18-year-old Bernie, the eldest of six children in the peripatetic Rootfamily. After her freshman year in college, Bernie joins her nomadic kin attheir current home, an Okinawan air force base. They have changed: her younger sister, Kit, is out of control and "now being played by Lolita"; her once glamorous mother, Moe, is overweight and depressed; her father, who wasa heroic and swaggering fighter pilot, has become a distant, self-loathing"ground pounder." And Bernie can't stop thinking of Fumiko, the family's former maidservant, whom no one is allowed to mention. Before being sucked into the family's torpor, Bernie escapes by winning a dance contest that lands her in Tokyo as the stage partner of Bobby Moses, a third-rate borscht belt comedian. There she delves into the past to solve the mystery surrounding Fumiko's disappearance and her family's deterioration. Bernie sharp andsnarky, yet severely introverted is a delightful heroine, and the large cast that swirls around her is equally endearing. Particularly fine are the wisecracking yet nurturing Moe and the oddly touching Bobby Moses, who's vulgar and mediocre, but insistent on professionalism. The dialogue is first-rate, and all the '60s brand-name dropping is amusing; the decade becomes fresh again when seen from the unusual perspective of a military family (especially this one) removed from mainland society.
