Synopsis

An “endlessly fascinating novel” of an American student finding his way in 1960s Paris from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Group (San Francisco Chronicle).  It is 1964, and Peter Levi, a young student and bird watcher, has come to Paris to study at the Sorbonne. Shy and innocent at nineteen years old, he arrives fresh from an extended Maine holiday with his vivacious mother, and is determined to live a life free of unwanted complications and unnecessary stress. But this is an era of great change in the world, a time when war is looming in Southeast Asia and social unrest is simmering. There is much to trouble and confuse the young American as he journeys through foreign countries—and feelings—into adulthood. For Peter, the simplicity of childhood is over—and his new life is becoming increasingly complex in a world growing more unrecognizable by the day. Mary McCarthy’s splendid Birds of America is a moving and surprising coming-of-age tale: the unforgettable story of a young man’s awakening, and a stunning evocation of the disorienting change of the 1960s.This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary McCarthy including rare images from the author’s estate.

    Who is The Knock-Knock Man?
    
    A ghost, a killer, or simply a creepy urban legend?

    her life. Now, after the death of her former colleague, Ernie, Ali must uncover the truth about a past that won’t stay buried.

    Jeannie is in trouble. After the loss of her husband, everyone around her is pressuring her to leave her precious farm, including an incredibly persistent realtor who won’t name her client. But when that realtor ends up dead, killed by mistake when she borrows Jeannie’s car, it becomes clear that her client won’t take no for an answer. Who wants Jeannie’s land so badly that they are willing to kill her for it? And why her farm when there are plenty around her for sale? To find the answer, Jeannie joins forces with off-duty cop Derek and finds refuge with the young back-to-the-land tenants who rent a section of her farm. Set in her ways at 60, Jeannie must learn to open her mind — and her heart — in her quest to find the killer, all while grappling with ghosts from her past and wrestling with the question of land transfer and ownership. Will the next generation love her farm as intensely as she does? And will she survive long enough to find out?
