(Little Brown, hd. 27.00)


Trials of the Earth is the harrowing and heroic memoir of Mississippi Delta pioneer, Mary Mann Hamilton who was one of the first women to homestead in there. Encouraged by a friend toward the end of her life, Hamilton put into words an amazing life story that would remain unpublished for more than fifty years. Her legacy lives on in her children and their descendants, many of whom stayed on in the Mississippi Delta.



Trials of the Earth readings will be given by McGhee Monteith, Kristi Pantin Smith and Sheilah Hamilton Pantin.

COMMONWEALTH by Ann Patchett

(Harper, hd 27.99)

Ann Patchett's tenth book is a charming novel about Franny Keating and her devolving, dysfunctional blended family over half a century. Set in California and Virginia, both of which are beautifully rendered, Patchett nails the vagaries and sadness of children trying to get on at the hands of sometimes loving, self-absorbed adults. Franny grows up to become the lover of a famous writer who appropriates her family's history for a novel, causing her surviving siblings to disengage from one another over truth and perspective, and to whom do a family's stories belong? Funny, poignant, and sharply observant - I think it's Patchett's best book yet. - LH
