THE MIDDLESTEINS
ATTENBERG, JAMIE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
For more than thirty years, Edie and Richard Middlestein shared a solid family life together in the suburbs of
Chicago. But now things are splintering apart, for one reason, it seems: Edie's enormous girth. She's obsessed
with food--thinking about it, eating it--and if she doesn't stop, she won't have much longer to live. When Richard
abandons his wife, it is up to the next generation to take control. Robin, their schoolteacher daughter, is
determined that her father pay for leaving Edie. Benny, an easy-going, pot-smoking family man, just wants to
smooth things over. And Rachelle-- a whippet thin perfectionist-- is intent on saving her mother-in-law's life, but
this task proves even bigger than planning her twin children's spectacular b'nai mitzvah party. Through it all, they
wonder: do Edie's devastating choices rest on her shoulders alone, or are others at fault, too?

MIDST TOIL AND TRIBULATION
WEBER, DAVID
After centuries of stasis, the island kingdom of Charis began to defy the edicts of the Church of God Awaiting—
egged on, some say, by the mysterious warrior-monk Merlin Athawes. Now, in the wars and intrigues that have
cascaded from Charis's declaration of independence, the populous Republic of Siddermark is sliding into chaos.
Vicar Clytahn of the Church of God at harvest time. King Cayleb of Charis, his queen Sharleyan, and Merlin
Arthawes will have their hands full trying to stave off wholesale starvation in Siddermark while at the same time
shipping in enough land combat units to fend off the "volunteers" from the Church's Temple Lands. And while
Vicar Clyntahn is hailed in the Church for his boldness and audacity, there are those who remember how
dependent Church power is on money from Siddermark...and who wonder what will happen if Siddermark
starves.
