Joyous get-togethers down through the centuries.

Ed Pettit is impressed by John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things: A boy's dark story of magic.

Desmond Ryan finds Eva Mekler's The Polish Woman understated and moving: Long-lost cousin, or impostor capitalizing on family's grief?

Elizabeth Fox has mixed feelings about Lucy Jackson's Posh: That rich N.Y. angst, with compassion.

Katie Haegele also notes how very real Celeste Conway's The Melting Season is: Young Adult Reader 'Melting Season' a teen-girl story that is captivatingly real.

During the past week ...

Karen Heller was disappointed in Patricia Marx's latest: A wit whose novel went awry, beginning with a dreadful title.

But Martha Woodall found Alice Hoffman's new one magical: Hoffman's latest is more enchantment.

Finally, Paula Marantz Cohen found the Japanese crown princess's story sad indeed: No fairy-tale endings for Japan's princess .


Plenty to read there, folks.
