NR/A Moran, Michelle. Cleopatra's Daughter: a Novel. Crown, 2009. 431 p. 978-0307409126. 25.00. Camille Keo Campos, LAPL, Cahuenga
NR/A Rubino, Jane and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway. Lady Vernon and Her Daughter: a novel of Jane Austen. Crown, 2009. 328 p. 978-0307461667 24.99. Camille Keo Campos, LAPL, Cahuenga
F/A Abbott, Ellen Jensen. Watersmeet. Marshall, 2009. 352 p. 978-0761455363. 16.99.
Persecuted as an outcast since the day she was born, Abisina has had to live with the taunts and cruelty of the other villagers. Her mother’s status as the village healer affords her some minor protection. However, with the arrival of Charach, a charismatic new religious leader, she is no longer safe. Charach incites the villagers to hunt down and kill all the outcasts. Abisina barely manages to escape with her own life. She sets out on a quest to find the utopian village of Watersmeet and the father who never knew she existed. While there are important moral lessons to be learned, the overall story and characters are not very compelling. Camille Campos, LAPL, Cahuenga Branch Library
