******AN EQUAL STILLNESS is a novel posing as a biography of a painter, 
Jennet Mallow. Born in 1924, Jennet grows up in Yorkshire. In the drab post-war 
years she forges an early career as a painter, both inspired and constrained by 
her marriage to another artist, David Feaver. The competing claims of marriage 
and family on the one hand, and art on the other, provide one of the principal 
themes of this novel. After a vivid period in southern Spain, Jennet and David 
return to England. In the 1960s Jennet's career blossoms, and she becomes a 
sought-after painter, despite personal complications and indeed tragedies. 
With her children grown up, and David Feaver dead of alcoholism, she retires to 
her beloved Yorkshire for her final, yet brilliantly productive, years.

man whose character and exploits rival that of his famous creation. 
In particular, Conan Doyle's correspondence with his mother exposes his 
endless search for fulfillment and success outside the Holmes stories.



Auto-Da-Fay 1.5by Fay Weldon

Auto-Da-Fay 5.5  
******From the 1930s to the 1990s, Fay Weldon has seen and lived our times. 
As a child in New Zealand, as young and poor in London, as unmarried 
mother, as wife, lover, playwright, novelist, feminist, anti-feminist, 
spag-bol-cook, winer-and-diner, there are few waterfronts that she hasn't 
covered, few battles she hasn't fought. An icon to many, a thorn-in-the-flesh 
to others, she has never failed to excite, madden, or interest. Her life and times 
cover love, sex, babies, blokes, poverty, work, politics, and Very Famous Names. 
Moving from New Zealand to London to Scotland, from the UK to points east and 
west, Weldon has sipped, gulped, and sometimes spat out the things that make us what we are today. 
                                    This is her autobiography.

Nothing to Be Frightened Of 1.5 by Julian Barnes

Nothing to Be Frightened Of 5.5 
******'I don't believe in God, but I miss Him'. Julian Barnes' new book is, 
among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his brother 
(a philosopher), a meditation on mortality and the fear of death, a celebration 
of art, an argument with and about God, and a homage to the French writer 
Jules Renard. Though he warns us that 'this is not my autobiography', the result 
is like a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers. When Angela Carter 
reviewed Barnes' first novel, Metroland, she praised the mature way he wrote 
about death. Now, nearly thirty years later, he returns to the subject in a wise , 
funny and constantly surprising book, which defies category and classification
                               - except as Barnesian.




Peeling the Onion 1.5 by Günter Grass

Peeling the Onion 5.5  
******In this extraordinary memoir, Nobel Prize - winning author Gunter Grass 
remembers his early life, from his boyhood in a cramped two-room apartment 
in Danzig through the late 1950s, when The Tin Drum was published.
During the Second World War, Grass volunteered for the submarine corps at 
the age of fifteen but was rejected; two years later, in 1944, he was instead 
drafted into the Waffen-SS. Taken prisoner by American forces as he was 
recovering from shrapnel wounds, he spent the final weeks of the war in an 
American POW camp. After the war, Grass resolved to become an artist and 
moved with his first wife to Paris, where he began to write the novel that would 
make him famous.
Full of the bravado of youth, the rubble of postwar Germany, the thrill of wild love affairs, 
and the exhilaration of Paris in the early fifties, Peeling the Onion—which caused great controversy 
when it was published in Germany—reveals Grass at his most intimate.

******This is the captivating story behind Schindler’s List, the Booker Prize–winning 
book and the Academy Award–winning Spielberg film. Keneally tells the tale of the 
unlikely encounter that propelled him to write about Oskar Schindler and of the 
impact of his extraordinary account on people around the world.
 
Thomas Keneally met Leopold “Poldek” Pfefferberg, the owner of a Beverly Hills 
luggage shop, in 1981. Poldek, a Polish Jew and a Holocaust survivor, had a tale 
he wanted the world to know. Charming, charismatic, and persistent, he convinced 
Keneally to relate the incredible story of “the all-drinking, all-screwing, 
all-black-marketeering Nazi, Oskar Schindler. But to me he was Jesus Christ.”

******Anyone who has ever gamely tried and failed to absorb, enjoy, and--especially
--understand the complex works of Schoenberg, Mahler, Strauss, or even Philip Glass 
will allow themselves a wry smile reading New Yorker music critic Alex Ross's outstanding 
The Rest Is Noise. Not only does Ross manage to give historical, biographical, and social 
context to 20th-century pieces both major and minor, he brings the scores alive in language 
that's accessible and dramatic.

******Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. 
His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he 
has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram 
gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him 
to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping 
malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense 
wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be 
able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, 
he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous 
new India - by murdering his master."The White Tiger" presents a raw and 
unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost 
lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and 
its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, 
"The White Tiger" is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator
 - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.
