Red Queen, White Queen
by Maureen PetersHistory remembers King Henry I as the monarch who never smiled after the loss of the White Ship, but his two wives have faded into an undeserved obscurity. This is their story--the story of Editha, the red queen, and Adelicia, the white, and of the curious links that bind them together. Editha, the headstrong daughter of a warrior and a saint, is forced into a convent during her girlhood but her love for Henry of England triumphs over all attempts to make her take the veil. Her marriage, however, marks not the end but the beginning of a long and varied career as wife, mother and queen of a conquered land. In her efforts to make her husband and children happy Editha is haunted by the missing piece of an old chess-set, and the launching of the Nef Blanche marks the emergence of that white queen into a Court filled with the echoes of the red one. In the relationship between the two queens is reflected the struggle between the old barbaric ways and the more civilising influences coming to bear upon the mingled races of Saxon and Norman who strive for mastery of a small, green island.

Red Sky at Morning: A Novel (Perennial Classics Ser.)
by Richard Bradford“Red Sky at Morning is a minor marvel: it is a novel of paradox, of identity, of an overwhelming YES to life that embraces with wonder what we are pleased to call the human condition. In short, a work of art.” — Harper LeeHailed by the Washington Post Book World as “a sort of Catcher in the Rye out West,” Richard Bradford’s Red Sky at Morning is the classic coming-of-age story set during World War II about the enduring spirit of youth and the values in life that count.In the summer of 1944, Frank Arnold, a wealthy shipbuilder in Mobile, Alabama, receives his volunteer commission in the U.S. Navy and moves his wife, Ann, and seventeen-year-old son, Josh, to the family’s summer home in the village of Corazon Sagrado, high in the New Mexico mountains. A true daughter of the Confederacy, Ann finds it impossible to cope with the quality of life in the largely Hispanic village and, in the company of Jimbob Buel—an insufferable, South-proud, professional houseguest—takes to bridge and sherry. Josh, on the other hand, becomes an integral member of the Sagrado community, forging friendships with his new classmates, with the town’s disreputable resident artist, and with Amadeo and Excilda Montoya, the couple hired by his father to care for their house. Josh narrates the story of his fateful year in Sagrado and, with irresistibly deadpan, irreverent humor, describes the events and people who influence his progress to maturity. Unhindered by his mother's disdain for these "tacky, dusty little Westerners," Josh comes into his own and into a young man's finely formed understanding of duty, responsibility, and love.
