Night Falls on Damascus holds up a mirror to the continuing puzzle of the Middle East as it weaves a rich and engrossing tale of murder, revenge, and the corruption of power. With the introduction of Inspector Nikolai Faroun, a new type of hero enters the mystery scene, a man with a hidden past, a Levantine working for a hated Western regime, a man caught between two worlds who can trust no one and call no one friend.

Red River (Fiction)

Lalita Tademy weaves together history and the story of her own family to bring us an epic work of fiction, the dramatic, intertwining story of two families struggling to make a place for themselves in an America deeply divided after the Civil War.
For the newly freed black residents of Colfax, Louisiana, the beginning of Reconstruction promised them the right to vote, own property, and at last, control their own lives. But in the space of a day, angry whites would take back Colfax in one of the deadliest incidents of racial violence in Southern history, In the bitter aftermath, the Tademys and the Smiths will have to deal with the wreckage, push on, and build a better life for their sons and daughters over the next seventy years.
The Olive Route (Non-fiction)
 Books by Carol Drinkwater

Carol Drinkwater travelled along this beautiful and sometimes dangerous route, uncovering ancient stories, meeting striking and courageous people and tracing its venerable olive culture.
Tracking the Cretans, Phoenicians, Greeks and the Romans, amongst others, she eventually finds her way back to her olive farm in the sun-baked hills of southern France. The Olive Route recounts a thrilling, heroic, sensual and entertaining journey by the bestselling author of the much loved Olive series.

Sutton Gallery in Sutton
On March 31st Arts Sutton presented its first member's show of the year. Recent works of about thirty artists will be featured, all created with the theme of "Awakening" in mind. Arts Sutton is proud to offer its members the opportunity to take part in two annual exhibitions. Drawing, painting, sculpting, photography, ceramic, and mixed media are all represented. Brigite Normandin, the curator of the exhibition, mentions that the theme was chosen to celebrate the arrival of spring. She invites visitors to witness how the artists interpret the theme of awakening as a double entendre, and in turn awaken our senses with their own brilliant renditions. This exhibition is on display until May 6th. Make way for imagination...
