BOOKS
The New Centurions, by Joseph Wambaugh - A novel about policemen by a policeman. Tough, but compassionate, it’ll make you understand-perhaps for the first what it’s really like to be a cop.
A Rose for Virtue, by Norah Lofts - The private life of one of history’s most fascinating women, Hortense de Beauharnais, stepdaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte. ...A vivid portrait of Napoleonic France, and of a. woman who became a reluctant partner in its glory and an innocent victim of its hatreds and intrigues.
The White Dawn, by James Houston - “This exciting, beautiful, and haunting novel . starts with several 4brief esc tracts from a New England whaling ship’s log. They establish that, on a spring day in 1896, several men in a small boat are missing and presumed lost in the fogenchrouded, icy, white-rimmed arctic sea. After that prologue, the narration shifts and the story opens. (Now told from the standpoint of the Eskimos who rescue the white men.) In strong, spare f prose, the Eskimos’ life style is totally and handsomely evoked, its rich detail subtly interwoven with the dramatic story line....Few white men know the Eskimos and their culture as intimately as James Houston.
