<title><![CDATA[Night Train to Lisbon: A Novel]]></title>

<description><![CDATA["This debut novel taps into some of the oldest veins of story, the primal ones of night journeys, of being stuck in place yet adrift and confused about life's purpose. It is full of people who have lived, even as the fullness of that is revealed only in the protagonist's drawing out of their stories. I'm not sure how much this book might teach us how to live, but it has reminded me of what it is to really read." -- Rick Simonson, The Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle, WA]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Monsters of Templeton: A Novel]]></title>

<description><![CDATA["Groff's engrossing first novel is wonderfully difficult to classify. Willie Upton returns to her ancestral home in Templeton (actually Cooperstown, NY) to recover from a personal crisis. She then decides to seek the identity of her father. This mystery unfolds through the tales of long-dead relatives and others from Willie's past, which is also Cooperstown's past. And then there's that dead sea-monster that's brought out of the lake...." -- Carol Dunn, Northwind Book & Fiber, Spooner, WI]]></description>
