Gretchen Yealy, serials catalog librarian, Rockefeller Library

"Easy Silence" by Angela Huth. "Huth's story of an aging British violinist's obsession with the new young female member of his string quartet is a moving portrait of midlife crisis."

Sally Zierler, professor of medical science and gender studies, Community Health

"Prodigal Summer" by Barbara Kingsolver. "Magnificent immersion into wildness and love, with a curriculum in evolutionary biology and ecology. This beautifully-told story of nature's eroticism, of cycles and of luna moths, is among the most seductive of Kingsolver's writings."
