Brimming with the author's trademark wit, vivid prose, and captivating characterizations, Falling Together brilliantly explores our deepest human connections and confirms Marisa de los Santos as one of America's most exciting contemporary novelists." -- Publisher description.

20 .Next to love / by Ellen Feldman.
Feldman, Ellen, 1941-
London : Picador, 2011.
Summary: Babe, Grace and Millie have been best friends since their first day at their small town's only kindergarten. Despite their differences, they've played together, grown up together, shared each other's secrets. And when World War Two becomes a reality for America too, the girls begin a new phase of their lives together - each quickly marries her first true love. With the men away, life is difficult for these newly married women, but when no fewer than sixteen telegrams arrive on a single morning in 1944, bearing news of the worst kind from the War Department, the girls know that nothing will ever be the same again. As each woman struggles to rebuild a life, they face not only the challenges closest to home - the brutal effects of war, the question of remarriage, of how to tell a child about their absent father - but also the wider issues of a country in flux - sexism, racism, anti-Semitism. Tinged with tragedy, yet filled with hope, Next to Love is the story of three women at the heart of the century - a celebration of their friendship across decades of the most unthinkable adversity.

Murray, Moss
Brighton, England : Book Guild, 2011.
Summary: ROMANCE. It is the 1960s and women are wanting - and winning - more, far far more, than the cards Fate dealt them at birth. For some like Penny Welling, it is the honour of being a Dame, having the ear of the prime minister and being spokesman for the entire British tourist industry. For others like the feline beauty, Marianne Wilkinson, an ancient European title together with a fabulous fairy-tale castle, an ancestral necklace of triple-looped black pearls and yards of mink. While others such as Christiana Stephanopolous - wife of a Greek shipping tycoon - prefer to dress in sable while dreaming of heading the Board Room. Yet even the haughty, scheming and mega-successful Christiana risks being eclipsed by her ambitious daughter, Stephanie, a feisty eighteen-year-old with all her mother's beauty and business brains yet with markedly different ideas on the route to becoming an empress of an international industrial giant.
