A Son of the Circus [Secure eReader (recommended)/Adobe EPUB]
by John Irving
|
|
A Hindi film star ... an American missionary ... twins separated at birth ... a dwarf chauffeur ... a serial killer ... all are on a collision course. In the tradition of A Prayer for Owen Meany, Irving's characters transcend nationality. They are misfits--coming from everywhere, belonging nowhere. Set almost entirely in India, this is John Irving's most ambitious novel and a major publishing event.

A Widow For One Year [Secure eReader (recommended)/Microsoft Reader/Adobe PDF]
by John Irving
|
|
Ruth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory character--a "difficult" woman. By no means is she conventionally "nice," but she will never be forgotten. Ruth's story is told in three parts, each focusing on a crucial time in her life. When we first meet her--on Long Island, in the summer of 1958--Ruth is only four.

She distrusts ... more info>> 2000
