The Ruth Fielding series of books tells the story of Ruth, an orphan. Initially she lives with her uncle who is penny-pinching and miserable. She escapes him and as she grows up she has many adventures. Eventually she is involved in movie making, solving mysteries (before Nancy Drew), and she eventually becomes a wife and has a family. The later part of the series is noted for being written by Mildred Wirt Benton, author of part of the Nancy Drew series. This is a very nostalgic series, written in a formal style.

A novel about the horrors of war and its aftermath from one of Europe's most brilliant authors Award†'winning author António Lobo Antunes returns to the subject of the Portuguese colonial war in Angola with a vigorous account of atrocity and vengeance. Drawing on his own bitter experience as a soldier stationed for twenty†'seven months in Angola, Lobo Antunes tells the story of a young African boy who is brought to Portugal by one of the soldiers who destroyed the child's village, and of the boy's subsequent brutal murder of this adoptive father figure at a ritual pig killing.   Deftly framing the events through an assembly of interwoven narratives and perspectives, this is one of Lobo Antunes's most captivating and experimental books. It is also a timely consideration of the lingering wounds that remain from the conflict between European expansionism and its colonized victims who were forced to accept the norms of a supposedly superior culture.
