Sisterland

Curtis Sittenfeld, author of American Wife and Prep, returns with a mesmerizing novel of family and identity, loyalty and deception, and the delicate line between truth and belief.

From an early age, Kate and her identical twin sister, Violet, knew that they were unlike everyone else. Kate and Vi were born with peculiar “senses”—innate psychic abilities concerning future events and other people’s secrets. Though Vi embraced her visions, Kate did her best to hide them. Now, years later, their different paths have led them both back to their hometown of St. Louis.

Vi has pursued an eccentric career as a psychic medium, while Kate, a devoted wife and mother, has settled down in the suburbs to raise her two young children. But when a minor earthquake hits in the middle of the night, the normal life Kate has always wished for begins to shift.

After Vi goes on television to share a premonition that another, more devastating earthquake will soon hit the St. Louis area, Kate is mortified. Equally troubling, however, is her fear that Vi may be right. As the date of the predicted earthquake quickly approaches, Kate is forced to reconcile her fraught relationship with her sister and to face truths about herself she’s long tried to deny.

Funny, haunting, and thought-provoking, Sisterland is a beautifully written novel of the obligation we have toward others, and the responsibility we take for ourselves.

Intervention

1987

by Julian May

Intervention sets the scene for Julian May's new trilogy of the Galactic Milieu. This has been split into two books: The Surveillance (containing Prologue, The Surveillance, and The Disclosure) and The Metaconcert, containing The Intervention and Epilogue.

For 60,000 years, the five races of the Galactic Milieu have watched and waited for the time when human mental development on Earth is ready for the Intervention. As the twentieth century draws to its end, phenomenal mental powers are displayed by 'operants' all across our planet. They can 'farspeak' one another telepathically. They can build mental shields, and they are capable of coercion by power of mind.

One of them is Rogatien Remillard, a dealer in secondhand books, whose memories—written a century on—form the core of this chronicle. They tell of a world where the mind has become a weapon, and of two brothers, each possessed of extraordinary powers—one a peace-bringer, the other an advocate of evil.
