View from a bookseller
“Jackson is a phenomenal novelist, whose feisty, unforgettable characters wrestle their way through complicated lives with grit and good humor, while she takes readers on a wild, nail-biting, and thoroughly enjoyable ride. With rich dialogue, vivid scene-setting, edge-of-your-seat plotting, and one-of-a-kind characters, Jackson’s novels entertain thoroughly and stay on your mind long after you have turned the last page. In Someone Else’s Love Story, a chance encounter during a convenience store robbery shakes up a number of lives. Assumptions about relationships — with family, friends, lovers, and perceived enemies — are shattered, and something new and surprising emerges. I loved this book!”
—Carol Schneck Varner, Schuler Books & Music, Okemos, MI

Suzanne McMinn speaks about her new book, CHICKENS IN THE ROAD: An Adventure in Ordinary Splendor, about which Susan Thurin from Bookends on Main in Menomonie, WI says: “All those interested in sustainable agriculture, living off-the-grid, dwelling in yurts, organic farming, backyard foraging, beekeeping, cheesemaking, etc., will love this inspiring memoir. It’s also a great gift for rural-wannabes, as it’s filled with the details and dialogues of McMinn’s challenging pursuit of a natural lifestyle.”

 “In this epic tale, two brothers close in age but of very different temperaments are inseparable in their younger years in Calcutta. They become more distant as they mature, however, due to the political passions and ideology of the older, more outgoing brother. An ensuing tragedy forces the younger brother to evaluate his strong bond to his brother and to take on responsibilities he never expected. This is a story of decisions and consequences, family ties and separation, deceit and honesty, as well as cultural differences and similarities. Lahiri’s exquisite prose is like quicksilver, sometimes shocking and sometimes warm and comforting.”
