Paperback. Etat : Good. Ah yes, it's time for another season of tennis. They have been together for years, the girls, on the same team, lolling through the seasons-such a pleasant way to socialize and at the same time get some exercise. The perfect excuse for lunch and a glass of wine afterward. But this season, there seems to be a slight fly in the ointment. There is a new member on the team who, ridiculous as it may seem, wants desperately to win.at any cost. And damn, the team has made the colossal mistake of electing her captain. Halfway through the season, the girls can see that they might have to take matters into their own hands. They might even have to take the law into their own hands. Devoto is the author of four critically acclaimed novels that have nothing whatsoever to do with tennis. But she couldn't resist this one foray into the daunting perils of women in tennis.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Aggie's world is defined by the length and breadth of Tripoli Circle, with its sturdy houses and solid families who have willingly given their sons to one war and then another and then another. Aggie's father, Daniel, is a hero. Five years after coming home from World War I, he is still drowning in its memories. The more fragile he becomes, the more Sara, Aggie's mother, is desperate to create a safe haven for their four children. To distract them from Daniel's bizarre behavior, Sara weaves such comical, outlandish tales that the children are hard-pressed to distinguish the real from the imagined. When the body of a neighbor is discovered in the house across the street, it is like unearthing the end of a string they are powerless to refrain from pulling until little by little it is impossible for any of them-Sara, Daniel, Aggie, the whole of Tripoli Circle-to ignore the shattering truth. A tale of war's aftermath and the toll it takes -as relevant today as it was those many years ago. …
