Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. New Jersey's Bon Secours Continuous Care Facility is located on the Hudson River, just two miles south of the George Washington Bridge and across from gleaming Manhattan. This unlikely setting for Weehawken High School student Thomas Moore's summer travails couldn't be more different from the open road adventures of his 22-year-old sibling, Alex. From the air-conditioned halls of Bon Secours to the remote wilderness of Starvation Lake, Utah, these contrasts are all part of the mix in Joseph Colicchio's fourth novel, ALL STRINGS ATTACHED. It was July 2008 and Tommy, an impressionable teenager, was beginning his Life Skills internship at the local Roman Catholic elder care facility with Cathy Degnan, his conscientious but complicated supervisor. At the same time, his big brother Alex had just jumped into a friend's car, heading west to discover the future. While on the road, Alex's exploits contribute exciting and often page-turning elements to the narrative: part thriller, part road-trip saga. For Tommy, it is the nursing home's residents and staff which open his eyes to the world in all its aching beauty. The novel celebrates the inevitable interweaving of life and loss. Colicchio's writing stirs. As one of the senior residents explains it, life is "a regular roil of emotions.anger, surprise, shame, pride, embarrassment. All the biggies." From Sandy, a resident who shut out the world since his son Joe was murdered decades prior, to Sara, the elder home's "new girl" who still embraces happiness, the novel reminds us that people can choose to seek growth and joy despite life's struggles. The brothers' two stories overlap in surprising, life-affirming ways. Alternating with Tommy's summer of awakening at Bon Secours, Colicchio deftly presents Alex's own dramatically different season of growth and discovery, as his summer road trip takes engaging and ultimately harrowing turns across America. Often profound, Colicchio's work is consistently engrossing as he skillfully balances the relationship between destiny and choice, between will and circumstance, and between choices made or stubbornly avoided. Frequently a page-turner, the author also mixes in healthy doses of rich characterization and storytelling which demand a more savoring speed, as he explores the inner complexities of human experience. Humorous, tender, and wise, ALL STRINGS ATTACHED is a brutally honest examination of the circle of life, and as one of the book's elders declares: "What beauty, what beauty life is.".…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In search of a new life, Reuben and Ardith Rosenfeld and their two children move from Chicago to the small town of Welton, Colorado, looking for all the hope that the burgeoning West has to offer--its abundance of jobs, space, sunshine, prosperity, and the promise of reinvention. Reuben, a former copyeditor at the Chicago Tribune, purchases the local town paper, the Welton Sentinel. Ardith stays home and copes with the task of fixing up an older house, which suffers such disrepair that on Halloween it's mistaken for part of a haunted house tour. Teenaged Harry continues his life as a troubled loner, skipping school and losing his tooth in a mysterious encounter. Meanwhile, Reuben, unaware that Ardith is having an affair, worries about his wife's growing unhappiness and distance from the family. One night, after a cookout at some friends' dairy farm, a fatal hit-and-run occurs that shocks the community, exposes a secret, and begins to rip apart the Rosenfeld family. The Tenderest of Strings is a riveting, full-hearted story of what it takes to survive as a family in a small Western town that beckons from afar but will put its newcomers to the test of their lives.…

Zustand: Good. By 1853 Brahms had emerged as a force in music and would afterward be acknowledged as the greatest master of the symphonic form of the last half of the century. In that generation of composers, only Dvořak (for whom he had a special regard and to whom he gave invaluable aid) produced as much chamber music as the prolific Brahms. This prodigious outpouring, perhaps more than any other aspect of Brahms's oeuvre, provides a clear and uninterrupted view of his artistic development.Here reproduced in this handsome, inexpensive volume is a superb selection of chamber works -- masterful compositions by Brahms, written for violin, viola, cello, and piano. Reprinted from the reliable Breitkopf & Hartel edition, they include Quintet in F Minor, Op. 34; the Quartet in C Minor, Op. 25; and Quartet in A Major, Op. 26, distinguished by their variety of moods, gypsy coloring, and richness of ideas; and the Quartet in C Minor, Op. 60, with its somber and foreboding atmosphere.Standards of the repertoire, these four compositions are strongly dramatic, richly inventive, and filled with ingenious thematic transformations. Musicians, music lovers, and any admirer of Brahms will welcome their appearance in this convenient, affordable edition. Large, readable noteheads and ample margins for notations make this excellent volume an important addition to the library of every serious student of chamber music. …
