<title><![CDATA[Lark and Termite: A Novel]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780375701931</link>
<description><![CDATA["I highly recommend Lark & Termite, Jayne Anne Phillips's imaginative, powerfully moving, and beautifully written new novel.  A young girl takes care of her half-brother, abandoned by their mother and living with a loving aunt in West Virginia. The boy can't walk or talk, but is 'full of radiance.'  In alternate chapters, the boy's father fights in Korea to keep a Korean family safe from 'friendly fire.'  This is Phillips' first novel in nine years, and it is well worth the wait." -- Nancy Olson, Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, NC]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[That Old Cape Magic: A Novel]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781400030910</link>
<description><![CDATA["This was such a surprise coming from this wonderful author! At first glance That Old Cape Magic appears to be simply a story about a 55-year-old man in a mid-life crisis. However, it is so much more than that. It is a study of love, marriage, the importance of family, and the inescapable influence of parents on their children.  A remarkable tale with the trademark humor that is vintage Russo." -- Carol Katsoulis, Anderson's Bookshop, Naperville, IL]]></description>
