...you'll like 22 Britannia Road. Different war, different era, different country, but a great and awful story of what war does to people: families, soldiers, wives and children. Whatever role a person plays in the conflict simply leaves scars. How can it not? Author Amanda Hodgkinson allows us a glimpse into the lives of a young Polish couple and their infant son as they head into World War II.

If you liked Bonny Doon's Heart of Darkness...
...you'll love Amphora's Seven Sisters! Yes, wine. Dark, inky, full of body and flavor. A wonderful blend of, you guessed it, seven varietals. Deeply rich and supremely yummy. It's even better when sampled at the Dry Creek winery, and best when shared with Rick Hutchinson, winemaker, owner and all around crazy guy. Does anyone know why it's called Seven Sisters? Now, THAT'S quite a story!

If You Liked Da Vinci Code...
...you'll love The School of Night by Louis Bayard. It's got everything: Murder, treasure, national intrigue, historical romance, new love and coded clues. It's said that Sir Walter Raleigh was among a small number of philosophical intellectuals, in the early part of the 1600s, who gathered under the cloak of darkness to discuss the existence of God, the politics of the day, and many other taboo subjects. They called themselves The School of Night. There just might be some documents laying around, just ready to be discovered. And Henry Cavendish seems to be on the trail of one now.
