It has also been the subject of controversy, as the actual bookseller in question--a man named Shah Mohammed Rais, took offence at his portrayal, calling it libel and invasion of privacy, and sought legal reparations from the author, who lived with the Rais family for four months in Kabul in 2002 ONLY FOR SALE HERE, TimeWarner 2006, Bantam, large-format paperback, 2006, 285 pages, illustrated. In 1859 the Rev Henry James Prince, onetime English Anglican clergyman, opened a quasi-religious establishment, known as the Agapemone (Greek for Abode of Love), near Bridgewater in Somerset. An elderly lady lodger, who had inherited some funds, paid the young man to read passages of the Bible to her. Her favourite passage was that Biblical piece of gentle erotica, the Song of Solomon, and one day, while reading from this stimulating and uplifting text, the lady burst into tears, flung herself passionately upon the startled man and expressed her love for him. This event, not surprisingly, came as a revelation to him. Out of it emerged a strange institution with the Reverend Prince at the centre of a band of adoring women. Following the end of World War 2 6-year-old Kate Barlow went to live with her fierce grandmother in a rambling gothic mansion in the countryside. She was to discover that her own grandmother presided over what remained of the notorious Abode of Love. Here she tells the story and intertwines the history of the Reverend Prince's activities. Slightly browned paper, light cover creases, book exchange stamp inside front, but fairly good. ISBN 1863255699., Bantam Books, 2006. Book. As New. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7 in to 9 in Tall.

Painter Honor Sullivan has made a life for herself and her three daughters --- Regis, Agnes, and Cecilia --- at Star of the Sea Academy on the magical Connecticut shore. Here she teaches art at the convent school's beautiful seaside campus, over which Honor's sister-in-law, Mother Superior Bernadette Ignatius, keeps a benevolent and watchful eye. No one could have foreseen the day that a single letter --- mysteriously delivered by an unseen messenger --- would change all their lives forever. Six years ago, Honor thought she had the perfect home, the perfect love, the perfect life. Then her husband, the brilliant, fiery photographer and sculptor John Sullivan, broke her heart --- and tore their little family apart. Now, John is returning to the family he's always loved more than anything on earth. What he finds is one daughter unable to come to terms with the past, another who barely remembers him, and a third who may be in more trouble than anyone knows. And then there is Honor herself --- and a passion that may have been interrupted but that has never waned.., Bantam Books, 2006<
