July arrivals

Today we have to offer to you: city dogs, an injured elephant and a cloned grandmother. Fortunately, or unfortunately, as the case may be, not all in the same book.

A frustrated genetic researcher manages to clone her grandmother, Mary, bringing her to life as a twenty-two year-old whose last memories are of 1929. Both entertaining and thought provoking, this engrossing debut novel by Camille DeAngelis has been compared to a modern day Frankenstein with intriguing plot twists and romance added to the mix.

When her veterinarian husband tells her he is getting a colleague, Neelie Sterling thought he was getting a collie, until she meets the pretty blond assistant. A trip to Zimbabwe to rescue an injured elephant also proves healing to Neelie, as she learns about herself as a wife and mother. Her trip to self-discovery is filled with many laugh-out-loud moments along the way.

In Cathleen Schine’s new novel, The New Yorkers, we are given an insight to the thoughts and aspirations, successes and failures of an ensemble cast living on the same non-descript street in Manhattan as their lives cross through the dogs they each own and love. Cathleen Schine once again crafts a delightful novel involving the sometimes complicated, sometimes comic workings of the human heart.
