Amy Yamada

BEDTIME EYES 5/2006 ISBN: 0312352263 Amy Yamada is one of the most prominent—and controversial—novelists in Japan today. She burst onto the scene in 1985 with her short novel Bedtime Eyes, which for critics embodied the spirit of the shinjinru—i.e. Generation X—in much the same way as the ground-breaking work of such writers as Bret Easton Ellis and Douglas Coupland did in the U.S. Bedtime Eyes is the first English-language publication of three of Yamada's novellas/short novels: Bedtime Eyes, The Piano Player's Fingers, and Jesse. While all are centered around the relationship between a Japanese woman and a black American man, each explores love, sex, and the vast gulf between their different and equally revealing viewpoints. Starkly imagined and sharply observed, Bedtime Eyes introduces to the English language some of Yamada's best known and most influential work. RR@H's Novel Thoughts

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE 12/2007 ISBN: 0373793707 Wanted: Hot holiday fling with an out-of-towner (sort of) Is jet-setting, supermodel-bedding hottie Colin Reeves actually home for the holidays? That's the rumor this Christmas. And now he's desperate for something only wholesome Emily Stanfield can provide: a room at her inn. But Emily's tired of her choir-girl rep. Sex-ravenous and determined, she's facing a tantalizing dilemma: can she entice Colin to some holiday cheer under the sheets—and trust him to secrecy after the deal is done? Because one slip and everybody will be gossiping about Tall Pine's poster girl having the delicious Colin. Unless, of course, one steamy night turns into something even these folks couldn't predict…RR@H's Novel Thoughts

THE SWEET LIFE 3/2007 ISBN: 0452288223 It’s been eight years since Roy Swan successfully won the hand of piano teacher and resident choir director, Miss Wilma and now, their lives have settled into a state of happy predictability. But all that changes with the arrival of Miss Wilma’s teenage granddaughter, whose estranged father, Harper, follows shortly behind. Soon Harper has convinced Roy to let him stage a “small” country and bluegrass concert in his pasture, drawing thousands of screaming fans, not to mention a small forest of Porta Potties. Roy and Wilma weather each new tempest with grace and grit, until a crippling stroke leaves Roy debilitated—and life in Swan’s Knob becomes a lot less simple. RR@H's Novel Thoughts
