Beyond the propulsion of Rash’s thrilling whodunit plot is his characteristically excellent prose. Rash ( Serena) invites readers into the lush Carolina hinterland where blissful innocence and larger cultural currents clash with deep consequences for malleable Eugene. New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash demonstrates his superb narrative skills in this suspenseful and evocative tale of two brothers whose lives are altered irrevocably by the events of one long-ago summer, one bewitching young womanand the secrets that could destroy their lives. With her sudden resurrection, the most disturbing questions around what actually happened all those years before sets Eugene out to get the truth from his estranged brother, Bill, now a successful surgeon in the small North Carolina town where they grew up. The latest from prolific poet and fiction writer Rash, a 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award finalist for Serena. Contrary to what the brothers have always believed, Ligeia didn’t just leave town that summer. After Eugene succumbs to her enchantments and a brief romance ensues, a rift develops between the two brothers, who view the cultural changes sweeping America in drastically different ways. Taken by her seemingly otherworldly presence, Eugene and his older brother, Bill, fell under her spell and were pulled into that adventurous summer of free love and experimentation. Now a struggling alcoholic, Eugene was 16 when he first saw Ligeia, swimming nude, during the summer of 1969. Ligeia’s disappearance, and the events around it, were never resolved for Eugene, and he is stunned to find her ageless face suddenly appear on the cover of his local newspaper.

The Sundarbans are an archipelago of islands in the Bay of Bengal. She already owns his heart and soul, and can call for him any time. But Fokir doesn’t even try eluding the beautiful forest. He may be unlearned in books and the world, but he is nearly her match in allure and primal power. Kanai Dutt, a Delhi businessman who fancies himself above being charmed, also nearly succumbs. Piya Roy, a Calcutta-born American cetologist in India to study the orcaella, or fresh water dolphin, is so drawn in by Sundarbans that she almost forfeits her life to her. She is “the trailing threads of India’s fabric, the ragged fringe of her sari, the achol that follows her, half wetted by the sea.” Sundarbans translates as “the beautiful forest,” and though she is not physically arresting, other characters can’t help falling into her shadow. Her presence dominates Amitav Ghosh’s enthralling new novel. Of the half-dozen central characters in The Hungry Tide, the most compelling goes by the name of Sundarbans.

Brief Summary of Book: Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food by Paul Greenberg Can he get the right answers before the Cold War turns into a Red Winter? Ryan is a former Marine and a brilliant CIA analyst who’s been the architect of some of the CIA’s biggest coups but this time he’s in enemy territory with a professional assassin on his tail. It’s a job Deputy Director James Greer can only trust to one man-Jack Ryan. With the East German secret police closing in, someone will have to go to behind the Berlin Wall to investigate the potential defector. It’s an offer they can’t pass up…if it’s genuine, but the risks are too great to blindly stumble into a deal. In East Berlin, a mysterious figure contacts the CIA with an incredible offer-invaluable details of his government’s espionage plans in return for asylum. The Nighthawk is the most advanced fighting machine in the world and the Soviets will do anything to get their hands on its secrets.

She also tells a dying patient that she loves her, which the author defends in the context of treatment, but still – personally, made me uncomfortable. In both the book and in subsequent media interviews, Gottlieb repeatedly compares psychotherapy to “pornography,” in that “everyone does it, but nobody talks about it.” She also reveals that one of her more challenging patients refers to her as his “hooker,” (jokingly, of course) but in her attempt to characterize him as a narcissist this detail is simply unnecessary. Take, for instance, several notable cringe-worthy “ick” moments. While Gottlieb does a fine job of “pulling back the curtain” and letting readers see the inner workings of psychotherapy and the psychotherapist’s mind, her book does little to dispel the unhelpful myths and misconceptions surrounding the therapy process. Not only does the book portray therapists as good-natured, but slightly self-righteous, know-it-alls, it does nothing to minimize the “ick factor” associated with psychotherapy in general. I was excited to read Lori Gottlieb’s book, “Maybe you Should Talk to Someone.” As a psychologist and therapist in therapy (off and on), a memoir-style book about a therapist (in therapy) is right up my proverbial alley. A winner for young readers and adults alike.
