UNTO THE DAUGHTERS now in paperback |
|
St. Martin's Griffin imprint will publish the trade paperback edition of Unto the Daughters on July 8, 2008. Academicians and book clubs will especially appreciate the inclusion of Readers' Guide questions at the back of the book.
Aside from its nomination for a 2008 Michigan Notable Book Award, I am most proud that Unto the Daughters will be included in the first history of Michigan's Italians, currently being researched and written by an anthropologist with Italian and Michigan roots.

Congratulations to Our Two Contest Winners! |
|
My co-author, Jill Gregory, and I both loved these two beautiful tributes to the special people our contest winners wrote about. Both capture the essence of a Lamed Vovnik, one of the thirty-six righteous souls born in every generation, whose goodness keeps the world in existence. Both of our contest winners will receive autographed copies of THE BOOK OF NAMES, WOLF RIVER, and UNTO THE DAUGHTERS.

La Sonnambula and a Day of Remembrance for Du'a Khalil |
|
On Sunday, April 6, 2008, I went with friends to the Detroit Opera House to see La Sonnambula -- I was not familiar with the libretto so I’d printed out a synopsis of the opera before we left, then forgot to bring it along. (I also forgot to bring Kleenex, but didn’t think I’d be in need of tissues.)
La Sonnambula is the story of a young woman, Amina, betrothed to be wed the next day. The celebration of her betrothal to Elvino is interrupted by one of the most common plot devices ever -- a stranger comes to town. This stranger (actually the village’s long absent count) showers her with compliments to the dismay of Elvino, a jealous man.
