Frederic Raphael’s The Glittering Prizes is free at Amazon US. Originally published by Penguin, and there was a BBC serial with Tom Conti in the late 70s.

There are some fantastic books available as Kindle Daily Deals today; I won’t link to them, but here’s a sampling of them, books I loved (there will be a couple more in non-fiction):
What’s Bred in the Bone by my favorite Canadian author is the second book of a trilogy and the best, although the others are also excellent. It can be read as a stand-alone. The Bradbury collection, a curated selection from a host of his books, is over a thousand pages in the hardcover. Who wouldn’t want this for dipping into?

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Perennial Classics)
by Betty Smith $1.99 price good until 7/19 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Perennial Classics) - Kindle edition by Smith, Betty. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/a-t...ws-in-brooklyn A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick The beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century. From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, for the often harsh life of Williamsburg demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior—such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce—no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are tenderly threaded with family connectedness and raw with honesty. Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg life-from “junk day” on Saturdays, when the children of Francie’s neighborhood traded their weekly take for pennies, to the special excitement of holidays, bringing cause for celebration and revelry. Betty Smith has artfully caught this sense of exciting life in a novel of childhood, replete with incredibly rich moments of universal experiences—a truly remarkable achievement for any writer. |

I haven't read The Leopard, by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa, but it looks really interesting, and its Wikipedia entry indicates that it won Italy's Strega prize in 1959 and that the Observer named it one of their 10 best historical novels back in 2012. Now an English translation is on sale at Kindle UK today for £0.99 as part of the Daily Deal. (And, in Kindle's often amusing but rarely appropriate genre-switching, it's ranked as the "#1 Best Seller in Cat, Dog & Animal Humour"...sigh!)

An Outlander Collection: Books 1-3 contains exactly what it sounds like - the first three titles in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon: Outlander, Voyager, and Dragonfly in Amber. The collection has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK right now. If you need even one of these, this is probably a good buy, since the individual titles don't go on sale all that often.

Sharpe's Siege is the 18th or 19th (depending on whether you count a couple of novellas) in Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series. My son, who is really into military history (and fiction), loved this series. Siege has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Island of the Sequined Love Nun, by Christopher Moore, is on sale for $1.99 at Amazon US.
Moore is one of the few authors that can literally get me laughing out loud. I highly recommend just about anything by him. |

Now £0.99 at Kindle UK as part of today's Daily Deal. I still haven't managed to read it yet, but it still looks interesting! I wish I had (even) more time to read...
