With the same wicked humor and delicious charm that have won her millions of devoted fans, Sophie Kinsella, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Shopaholic & Baby, returns with an irresistible new novel and a fresh new heroine who finds herself in a life-changing and utterly hilarious predicament… How on earth did all this happen? Will she ever remember? And what will happen when she does? Her new life, it turns out, comes complete with secrets, schemes, and intrigue. Suddenly Lexi is scrambling to catch her balance. That is, until an adorably disheveled architect drops the biggest bombshell of all. And who is this gorgeous husband-who also happens to be a multimillionaire? With her mind still stuck three years in reverse, Lexi greets this brave new world determined to be the person she…well, seems to be. Somehow Lexi went from a twenty-five-year-old working girl to a corporate big shot with a sleek new loft, a personal assistant, a carb-free diet, and a set of glamorous new friends. Having survived a car accident-in a Mercedes no less-Lexi has lost a big chunk of her memory, three years to be exact, and she’s about to find out just how much things have changed. When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise.

Rockefeller, and the latest author to attempt a resurrection of our immortal but unlively Founder. Now comes Ron Chernow, the deservedly acclaimed biographer of Alexander Hamilton and John D. Perhaps the nearest thing to a revival at the popular level occurred in 1996 when Richard Brookhiser wrote “Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington,” a short, forceful appreciation of Washington that shunned superfluous details and rendered the man in spare but vivid brush strokes. More recently, Thomas Flexner and Joseph Ellis have contributed solid, insightful lives of the man who is - quite justly - remembered as the father of our country without renewing much interest in their subject. Lee remains a popular classic, wrote a seven-volume life of Washington between 19 that was already gathering dust before the last book saw its way into print. Thus Douglas Southall Freeman, whose biography of Robert E. Though Mai’s three adult daughters, Priscilla, Thuy, and Thao, are successful in their careers ( one of them is John Cho’s dermatologist!), the same can’t be said for their love lives. She’s divorced, and after an explosive disagreement a decade ago, she’s estranged from her younger sisters, Minh Pham (the middle and the mediator) and Khuyen Lam (the youngest who swears she just runs humble coffee shops and nail salons, not Little Saigon’s underground).

The title refers to the name the group of creative friends dub themselves at an artsy summer camp in the Berkshires. The Interestings time frame starts out in the 1970s and spans four decades. Though the book started out a little less than interesting, I soon got lost in the story and couldn’t put it down. Friendships and other relationships are explored as The Interestings navigate the adult world. Plus, I find the subject matter of watching creative kids grow up and the challenges and opportunities they face fascinating. I lived in New York for a short time, so I’m always happy to read books that are set there. I went into the book with high expectations, after seeing all the book buzz and the “A” grade review in EW.

(I tell a much more lengthy story of my life in my 2004 publication, Custer and Me: A Historian’s Memoir, University of Oklahoma Press. Melody Webb has been a wonderful wife, a wonderful care-giver to one who lost almost all his hearing, a wonderful friend, and a wonderful professional colleague. My second marriage, from 1980 to my demise, was highly successful from beginning to end. Don is a lawyer and corporate executive, Phil an astrophysicist. Personally, my first marriage went on the rocks in 1977 after twenty years, leaving two sons, Donald Warner and Philip Lee. Within a fairly narrow context, I think I have lived a pretty successful professional life. When and how I died will have to be filled in after I die. By the time you read this, I will have checked out and perhaps had my ashes scattered over the big rock in Logan Canyon, Utah, where Melody and I first connected in 1973. Melody insists that I write my own obituary, which makes sense. His wife, Melody, informed Paul Andrew Hutton who included us in this special obit, written by the Old Bison himself: A respected historian and wonderful friend passed yesterday. LHR: Are you a life-long fan? Do you have a favorite character from the movies?ĭK: I actually saw the original Star Wars in the theater when I was six, and I went as a jawa for Halloween many times. She liked my work, and they were interested in publishing an Old Republic era novel, so I guess I seemed like the logical choice. With that experience, plus the Dungeons & Dragons based novels I had written for Wizards of the Coast, I was able to approach Shelly Shapiro – the Star Wars editor over at Random House – when I went to GenCon in Milwaukee one year. LHR: How did you start writing Star Wars novels?ĭK: Working on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game for BioWare allowed me to get my foot into the door. |
