THE COMPLETE DISCWORLD COMPANION<br />

BRIGGS, STEPHEN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The Discworld is a flat world balanced on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the back of a giant<br />

turtle. And like any world, the Discworld is not always predictable - in fact, it's distinctly UNpredictable, what with<br />

rivers you could skateboard across and points of raw magic that'd turn a body inside out soon as look at it ..<br />

THE CONFIDANT<br />

GREMILLON, HELENE<br />

Paris, 1975. Camille sifts through letters of condolence after her mother's death when a strange, handwritten<br />

missive stops her short. At first she believes she received it by mistake. But then, a new letter arrives each week<br />

from a mysterious stranger, Louis, who seems intent on recounting the story of his first love, Annie. They were<br />

separated in the years before World War II when Annie befriended a wealthy, barren couple and fell victim to a<br />

merciless plot just as German troops arrive in Paris. But also awaiting Camille's discovery is the other side of the<br />

story, which will call into question Annie's innocence and reveal the devastating consequences of jealousy and<br />

revenge. As Camille reads on, she begins to realize that her own life may be the next chapter in this tragic story.<br />

CROSS ROADS<br />

YOUNG, WILLIAM PAUL<br />

Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made business success at the peak of his game, even<br />

though the cost of winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony comatose in a hospital ICU.<br />

He ''awakens'' to find himself in a surreal world, a ''living'' landscape that mirrors dimensions of his earthly life,<br />

from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections<br />

of his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless with the possibility that they might lead to<br />

authenticity and perhaps, redemption. Will this unexpected coalescing of events cause Tony to examine his life<br />

and realize he built a house of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also have the courage<br />

to make a critical choice that can undo a major injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?<br />
