In Driftless, his \u201cmost accomplished work yet\u201d (Joseph Kanon), Rhodes brought Words, WI, to life in a way that resonated with readers across the country. Now with Jewelweed, this beloved author returns to the same out-of-the-way hamlet and introduces a cast of characters who all find themselves charged with overcoming the burdens left by the past, sometimes with the help of peach preserves or pie.<\/p>\n<p>After serving time for a dubious conviction, Blake Bookchester is paroled and returns home. The story of Blake\u2019s hometown is one of challenge, change, and redemption, of outsiders and of limitations, and simultaneously one of supernatural happenings and of great love. Each of Rhodes\u2019s characters\u2014flawed, deeply human, and ultimately universal\u2014approach the future with a combination of hope and trepidation, increasingly mindful of the importance of community to their individual lives. Rich with a sense of empathy and wonder, Jewelweed offers a vision in which the ordinary becomes mythical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"appip-block-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"appip-block-wrapper block-there\">\n<div class=\"amazon-element-wrapper amazon-template--elements-default\">\n<div class=\"amazon-element-title\">\n<h4 class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0897CN1VP?tag=bookcycling-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"amazonwin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Old Filth Trilogy: Old Fifth, The Man in the Wooden Hat, and Last Friends<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"amazon-element-lg-image\">\n<div class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0897CN1VP?tag=bookcycling-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"amazonwin\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/5140dc9w0dL._SL500_.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Buy Now\" width=\"147\" height=\"229\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"amazon-element-Author\"><strong>Author: Gardam, Jane<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Regularly $48.99, Today $4.99<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>British &amp; Irish Literary Fiction<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The complete \u201cwonderfully entertaining trilogy\u201d about three British friends approaching their twilight years with bittersweet humor (The Washington Post).<\/p>\n<p>Jane Gardam\u2019s beloved Old Filth Trilogy\u2014including her masterpiece, Old Filth, voted one of the 100 greatest British novels in a BBC survey; The Man in the Wooden Hat; and Last Friends\u2014are here presented in one volume.<\/p>\n<p>Emotionally distant but highly successful Edward Feathers, aka Old Filth, a man who \u201cbelongs in the Dickensian pantheon of memorable characters\u201d (TheNew York Times Book Review), his beautiful wife Betty, and his devilishly handsome professional rival (and Betty\u2019s onetime lover) Edward Veneering are the anchors of this series, with each novel focusing on a different character.

But in 600 BCE, the clay tablets that bore the story were lost\u2014buried beneath ashes and ruins when the library of the wild king Ashurbanipal was sacked in a raid.<\/p>\n<p>The Buried Book begins with the rediscovery of the forgotten epic and its deciphering in 1872 by George Smith, a brilliant self-taught linguist who created a sensation\u2014and controversy\u2014when he discovered Gilgamesh among the thousands of tablets in the British Museum\u2019s collection. From there the story goes backward in time, all the way to Gilgamesh himself. Damrosch reveals the story as a literary bridge between East and West: a document lost in Babylonia, discovered by an Iraqi, decoded by an Englishman, and appropriated in novels by both Philip Roth and Saddam Hussein. This is an illuminating, fast-paced tale of history as it was written, stolen, lost, and\u2014after 2,000 years, countless battles, fevered digs, conspiracies, and revelations\u2014finally found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"appip-block-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"appip-block-wrapper block-there\">\n<div class=\"amazon-element-wrapper amazon-template--elements-default\">\n<div class=\"amazon-element-title\">\n<h4 class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0C6NFG5R7?tag=bookcycling-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"amazonwin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">They Came Only to Die: The Battle of Nashville, December 15\u201316, 1864<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"amazon-element-lg-image\">\n<div class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0C6NFG5R7?tag=bookcycling-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"amazonwin\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51CUswyAqBL._SL500_.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Buy Now\" width=\"147\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"amazon-element-Author\"><strong>Author: Chick, Sean Michael<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Regularly $17.99, Today $2.99<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Civil War History of the U.S.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed\">\n<p>The November 1864 battle of Franklin left the Army of Tennessee stunned. In only a few hours, the army lost 6,000 men and a score of generals. Rather than pause, John Bell Hood marched his army north to Nashville. He had risked everything on a successful campaign and saw his offensive as the Confederacy\u2019s last hope. There was no time to mourn. There was no question of attacking Nashville. Too many Federals occupied too many strong positions. But Hood knew he could force them to attack him and, in doing so, he could win a defensive victory that might rescue the Confederacy from the chasm of collapse. Unfortunately for Hood, he faced George Thomas. He was one of the Union\u2019s best commanders, and he had planned and prepared his forces.
