![]() (Oct.) Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information. Anderson (Speak Fever 1793) packs so much detail into her evocation of wartime New York City that readers will see the turmoil and confusion of the times, and her solidly researched exploration of British and Patriot treatment of slaves during a war for freedom is nuanced and evenhanded, presented in service of a fast-moving, emotionally involving plot. But not only does the Patriot colonel fail to honor his promise, he personally hands her over to her Loyalist mistress when she runs away, to face disastrous consequences. Before long Isabel and Ruth are in New York City, the property of a Loyalist couple, whose abusiveness inspires Isabel to a dangerous course: she steals into the Patriot army camp to trade a crucial Loyalist secret in exchange for passage to Rhode Island for herself and Ruth. Isabel Finch, the narrator, and her five-year-old sister, Ruth, are to be freed from slavery upon the death of their mistress in Rhode Island, but the mistress's unscrupulous heir easily persuades the local pastor to dispense with reading the will. ![]() Although Mary Finch is dead before the novel begins, she plays a large role in the protagonist Isabel’s life by teaching Isabel to read and by treating her and Ruth with some respect. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anderson's Octavian Nothing, this gripping novel offers readers a startlingly provocative view of the Revolutionary War. The first five chapters of Chains set the stage for the action to follow, introduce the five main characters, and establish the novel’s major conflicts and themes. ![]()

While Parker was in critical condition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, a nation of runners sent up prayers and dispatched e-mail with a fury ordinarily reserved for the bell lap. And so the happy news that the book had finally arrived was tempered by the shock of its author's illness. Then, in the space of one week, he gave a reading of his new novel and ran a 5-K in Charleston, West Virginia, felt fluish, dispatched some final changes to his publisher, began coughing up, in his words, "raspberry jelly," and ended up in the hospital with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart. ![]() ![]() He continued to tinker with the manuscript until early September.
