SUMMARY:Sheila Kohler
DESCRIPTION:When Sheila Kohler was thirty-seven\, she received the heart-stopping news that her sister Maxine\, only two years older\, was killed when her husband drove them off a deserted road in Johannesburg. Stunned by the news\, she immediately flew back to the country where she was born\, determined to find answers and forced to reckon with his history of violence and the lingering effects of their most unusual childhood—one marked by death and the misguided love of their mother. \nIn her signature spare and incisive prose\, Shelia Kohler recounts the lives she and her sister led. Flashing back to their storybook childhood at the family estate\, Crossways\, Kohler tells of the death of her father when she and Maxine were girls\, which led to the family abandoning their house and the girls being raised by their mother\, at turns distant and suffocating. We follow them to the cloistered Anglican boarding school where they first learn of separation and later their studies in Rome and Paris where they plan grand lives for themselves—lives that are interrupted when both marry young and discover they have made poor choices. Kohler evokes the bond between sisters and shows how that bond changes but never breaks\, even after death. \nOnce We Were Sisters is a stunningly beautiful\, heartrending literary memoir about the tragic death of the author’s beloved older sister and a tribute to their bond. \nSheila Kohler was born in Johannesburg\, South Africa. She is the author of fourteen works of fiction including the novels Dreaming for Freud\, Becoming Jane Eyre\, and Cracks\, which was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and made into a film starring Eva Green. Her work has been featured in the New York Times and O Magazine and included in the Best American Short Stories. She has twice won an O’Henry Prize\, as well as an Open Fiction Award\, a Willa Cather Prize\, and a Smart Family Foundation Prize. She teaches at Princeton University and lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:Will Schwalbe
DESCRIPTION:From the author of the beloved New York Times bestselling The End of Your Life Book Club comes an inspiring and magical exploration of the power of books to shape our lives in an era of constant connectivity. \nWhy is it that we read? Is it to pass time? To learn something new? To escape from reality? \nFor Will Schwalbe\, reading is a way to entertain himself but also to make sense of the world\, to become a better person\, and to find the answers to the big (and small) questions about how to live his life. In this delightful celebration of reading\, Schwalbe invites us along on his quest for books that speak to the specific challenges of living in our modern world\, with all its noise and distractions. In each chapter\, he discusses a particular book what brought him to it (or vice versa)\, the people in his life he associates with it\, and how it became a part of his understanding of himself in the world. These books span centuries and genres (from classic works of adult and children’s literature to contemporary thrillers and even cookbooks)\, and each one relates to the questions and concerns we all share. Throughout\, Schwalbe focuses on the way certain books can help us honor those we ve loved and lost\, and also figure out how to live each day more fully. Rich with stories and recommendations\, Books for Living is a treasure for everyone who loves books and loves to hear the answer to the question: What are you reading? \nWill Schwalbe has worked in publishing; digital media\, as the founder and CEO of Cookstr.com; and as a journalist\, writing for various publications\, including The New York Times and the South China Morning Post. He is the author of the New York Times best seller The End of Your Life Book Club and co-author\, with David Shipley\, of Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better.
