1. Chimes of a Lost Cathedral (Revolution of Marina M.)
Description
The story of The Revolution of Marina M. continues in bestselling author Janet Fitch's sweeping epic about a young woman's coming into her own against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution.
When she finally returns to Petrograd, the city almost unrecognizable after two years of revolution, the haunted, half-emptied, starving Capital of Once Had Been, she finds the streets teeming with homeless children, victims of war. Now fully a woman, she takes on the challenge of caring for these civil war orphans, until they become the tool of tragedy from an unexpected direction.
But despite the ordeal of war and revolution, betrayal and privation and unimaginable loss, Marina at last emerges as the poet she was always meant to be.
Chimes of a Lost Cathedral finishes the epic story of Marina's journey through some of the most dramatic events of the last century---as a woman and an artist, entering her full power, passion, and creativity just as her revolution reveals its true direction for the future.

It was supposed to be their perfect summer-beach, boys, the Boulevard. Friends since childhood, Laurie Greenspan and Carla Moore, fifteen years old, couldn't be more different. Wealthy, reckless Carla is always looking for the next thrill: everything she does has to be wilder, faster, more on the edge. Studious, more conventional Laurie vows that this summer, she'll finally be able to keep up-to be as daring and cool as Carla. It's not until Laurie rescues her best friend from a bikers' party, and an overdose, that she understands how Carla has always used her to make herself feel better.

No Stopping Train
Description
No Stopping Train is the magnum opus and final novel of the late writer Les Plesko, a powerful, swirling novel of memory and violence set during the Hungarian Revolution.
The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a spontaneous nationwide revolt following World War II that spread quickly across the destabilizing country. A new government pledged to re-establish free elections until a large Soviet force invaded, killing more than 2500 Hungarians and forcing 200,000 Hungarians to flee the country. Mass arrests and denunciations continued for months until a new Soviet-installed government suppressed all opposition. Public discussion of this revolution was suppressed in Hungary for more than thirty years.
Although the revolution failed, it served as a source of great inspiration to many Hungarians, and here Les Plesko taps into his countrys history as the dramatic backdrop to his most accomplished and powerful novel. Sandor and Margit are young lovers suffering with their nation through the degradations of war, hunger, and political oppression in Budapest. Into their lives comes the mercurial Erzsebet ravaged, war-torn, alluring. Their eventual love triangle upends an already tenuous existence and threatens what little safety they have found in a nation on the brink of revolution. When Sandors activities as an underground publisher are exposed in a vicious act of betrayal, the lives of each of our characters will never be the same.
No Stopping Train is a stylistic tour de force and the final work of Les Plesko.
