Even though spring break is over, you can still take a break with one of our Relax & Read books.
Fiction
Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier
Following up his bestseller Cold Mountain, Frazier again dips into a tale from the Smoky Mountains. Will, now in his nineties, sits on his front porch taking pot shots at passing trains and thinking back on all of his accomplishments and failures, which includes being an indentured child, a white Indian chief, and throughout, a man in love.
Lisey's Story by Stephen King
A love story from King? Who would believe it? Lisey's dead husband is in her thoughts to the extent that her catatonic sister begins speaking to her in his voice and leads her in a dark journey to solve his mysteries.
Non-Fiction
Thunderstruck by Erik Larson
After his wildly popular Devil In The White City, Larson follows with another historical look at two men achieving notoriety. The young Marconi was trying to establish the credibility of his wireless and Dr. Crippen, aka the North London Cellar Murderer was neatly disposing of his wife's body.
