It is always night in the city of Ember. But there is no moon, no stars. The only light during the regular twelve hours of "day" comes from floodlamps that cast a yellowish glow over the streets of the city. Beyond are the pitch-black Unknown Regions, which no one has ever explored because an understanding of fire and electricity has been lost, and with it the idea of a Moveable Light...

In 1989 Follett published what was to become one of his most popular novels, The Pillars of the Earth, a historical epic about the construction of an English cathedral. 18 years later Follett presented his eager fans with a sequel to Pillars, World Without End. This an amazingly well-researched, intricately plotted and richly detailed novel, set in the same English cathedral town as Pillars. It has as its primary characters the descendants of the major characters that appeared in the previous book.

Dublin resident Keyes, author of the popular Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married and other novels, treats her audience to another fun read. Years ago, three friends from a small Irish town started new lives in London. Now in their early thirties and feeling as if they are in the "Last Chance Saloon" of relationships, they are finally growing up. Funny and irreverent, Keyes's Last Chance Saloon is a terrific vacation read.
