Book
The Book of Ruth
by Jane Hamilton
Winner of the 1989 PEN/Hemingway Foundation Award for best first novel, this exquisite book confronts real-life issues of alienation and violence from which the author creates a stunning testament to the human capacity for mercy, compassion and love.
Book
The Women's Room
by Marilyn French
The classic feminist novel that awakened both women AND men speaks to everyone about the deepest feelings at the heart of love and relationships. A biting social commentary of an emotional world gone silently haywire. The Women's ROom is a modern allegory that offers piercing insight into the social norms accepted so blindly and revered so completely. The Women's Room questions those accepted truths and poignantly examines the world of hopeful believers looking for new truths.
