The Cambridge Companion To The Twentieth Century English Novel

New Arabian Cuisine
The book New Arabian Cuisine was sure to be a ground-breaking project: launched at the end of 2006, the book represents an attempt to offer a completely new 'bridge' across cultures - a culinary one. The book hopes to inspire a whole generation of chefs to come up with innovative new ways of preparing and presenting traditional Arabian dishes, and of combining local flavors and textures in new ways, using a subtle European touch.

In Rules of Engagement, Sir John and Jeremy are confronted with a series of bizarre deaths on the streets of Georgian London in a mystery that tests even Sir John's legendary skills of deduction. When Lord Lammermoor, a close personal friend of the Lord Chief Justice's, plunges to his death from the heights of Westminster Bridge in front of a dozen witnesses, suicide is ruled as the most likely cause of death. But Lammermoor's fatal leap coincides with the arrival of Dr. Goldsworthy, a student of the famous Dr. Anton Mesmer and his studies in animal magnetism.

The Invisible Bridge
Even if this weren't her first novel, Julie Orringer's Invisible Bridge would be a marvelous achievement. Orringer possesses a rare talent that makes a 600-page story--which, we know, must descend into war and genocide--feel rivetingly readable, even at its grimmest. Building vivid worlds in effortless phrases, she immerses us in 1930s Budapest just as a young Hungarian Jew, Andras Lévi, departs for the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris.
