When Mr. and Mrs. Fred B. Green returned home recently after attending a numismatic
convention in Miami, Fla., this lemon and avocado were among remembrances they brought
back. The giant lemon is at the left. It is ripe but is still a pretty green color. The avocado will
make quite a mess of Guacamole Salad.

that opened all doors. To
Eustacia Rochdale, life was
exciting, if uncertain. Her
mother was determined that
her daughter achieve the
respectable upperclass marriage
that she herself could never
attain. When Eustacia arrives at
Dragonmede, as a new bride,
she is met with hostility and.
suspicion, and she begins to
wonder if the various accidents
occurring since her arrival are
not indeed attempts on her
life.
MARY DOVE by Jane Gilmore
Rushing
Reared in isolation by her
father on the Western prairie,
Mary Dove has been taught to
fear only one thing. On a
sparkling October day the
inevitable stranger rides in off
the plains, and Mary Dove does
what she had always promised
her father she would do — she
shoots.
But in remorse and
sympathy, she nurses the
stranger back to health, and
what follows is their
memorable discovery of each
other and the lasting change it
brings.
A simple and moving love
story that weaves universal and
timeless themes.
THE MOTHERLAND by
Gwen Davis
The Motherland of Gwen
Davis’ rich, brilliant new novel
is that world of money,
position and power that was
the American dream. For
Evelyn, smart, beautiful,
ambitious, born in an age when
women weren’t supposed to be
clever, the only escape from a
too-loving family is marriage to
a man — or a series of men —
who can do what she cannot:
succeed.
In re-creating so vividly the
lives of a generation of
Americans, and of a huge,
loving, fictional family at each
other’s throats, Gwen Davis,
the author of The Pretenders,
has written a major American
saga.
THE GIRLS IN THE OFFICE
by Jack Olsen
This book is the devastating
documentary of fifteen women
who have the best of
everything . . .
Jack Olsen has gotten it all
together in a shocking,
poignant, powerful indictment
of the quality of
life-in-the-big-city that reads
like a novel but is real life as
actually lived by fifteen very
different, talented, single
women who share in varying
extents a common despair at
what their “advantaged status”
has brought.. .and what it
really costs to have the best of
everything.
NUN’S CASTLE by Jennie
Melville
Supposedly recovered from
a concussion, Selina Brewse
returns to the tower of a
ruined castle where she had
grown up with two cousins.
One of them had recently died
and the other disappeared.
Although two local men she
has known for years appear
romantically interested in her,
she feels disturbed by events
she does not understand. After
attempts to disfigure and to
kill her fail, Selina’s
determination to discover who
wants to dispose of her is
rewarded. A well-written,
modern gothic.
