The Great Alone is about a family that moves to a wild, remote part of Alaska in the mid-1970s. Can our protagonist, the 13-year-old Leni, and her family survive the harsh and dark winters? The story touches upon many topics such as domestic violence, first love, and a community on the brink of change. There are great descriptions of the danger and beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. Perfect for Book Clubs.

A Little Romance is a delightful, but long forgotten comedy about first love set against the backdrop of Paris. It stars Diane Lane in her first role, and Laurence Olivier as a gentlemanly rascal who helps two 13-year-olds in their plans to visit the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. Definitely a feel-good film!

Often critiquing Clinton-era policy and Yeltsin-era conditions, this more than 20-year-old analysis of Russia's post-soviet situation is insightful. It explains many of the actions and policies of the current Russian government. |
