A GEOGRAPHY OF BLOOD
SAVAGE, CANDACE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
When Candace Savage and her partner buy a house in the romantic little town of Eastend, she has no idea what
awaits her. At first she enjoys exploring the area around their new home, including the boyhood haunts of the
celebrated American writer Wallace Stegner, the backroads of the Cypress Hills, the dinosaur skeletons at the
T.Rex Discovery Centre, the fossils to be found in the dust-dry hills. She also revels in her encounters with the
wild inhabitants of this mysterious land -- two coyotes in a ditch at night, their eyes glinting in the dark; a deer at
the window; a cougar pussy-footing it through a gully a few minutes' walk from town. But as Savage explores
further, she uncovers a darker reality -- a story of cruelty and survival set in the still-recent past -- and finds that
she must reassess the story she grew up with as the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of
prairie homesteaders.

THE GLITTER AND THE GOLD
BALSAN, CONSUELO VANDERBILT
Consuela Vanderbilt was young, beautiful, and heir to a vast fortune. She was also in love with an American
suitor when her mother chose instead for her to marry an English Duke. She sailed to England as the Duchess
of Marlborough in 1895 and took up residence in her new home—Blenheim Palace. She was the real American
heiress who lived long before Downton Abbey’s Lady Grantham arrived. Mme. Balsan is an unsnobbish
and amused observer of the intricate hierarchy both upstairs and downstairs and a revealing witness to the
glittering balls, huge weekend parties, and major state occasions she attended or hosted chronicling her
encounters with every important figure of the day—from Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Queen Alexandra to
Tsar Nicholas and the young Winston Churchill.
