One of the world's outstanding bankers reminisces about boyhood in a Methodist parsonage in a small town of upstate New York. One has a feel of the way of life in such small communities as his father was assigned to -- and poor as they were, every penny saved was put towards his education. He went to Exeter, then to Harvard, always working his way as he went. A story abounding in delightful human experiences:- church, family prayers, donation parties (that cost his father more than they contributed), parents and a brother that were inspirations to him, family reunions that brought relatives together from the country over. He tells of the family library, his omnivorous reading and his school days. There's a Grayson quality to the telling.

Irish-American Danny O'Flaherty hears the call of his ancestor's homeland and the unanswered questions about his roots. Leaving New York for the picturesque Irish village of Ballycara, he arrives in search of his long-lost cousin Rose, who has promised to reveal something "interesting" about his grandfather. Unfortunately, Danny finds Rose bludgeoned to death in her vegetable garden. Worse, Danny is also the chief suspect. To clear his name and unlock the mystery of the inexorable link between Rose's murder and his own murky past, Danny uncovers a generations-old scandal...and a secret that someone will murder to protect.

Dr. Alex Delaware doesn't see many private patients anymore, but the young woman called Lucy is an exception. So is her dream. Lucy Lowell is referred to Alex by Los Angeles police detective Milo Sturgis. A juror at the agonizing trial of a serial killer, Lucy survived the trauma only to be tormented by a recurring nightmare: a young child in the forest at night, watching a strange and furtive act. Now Lucy's dream is starting to disrupt her waking life, and Alex is concerned. The power of the dream, its grip on Lucy's emotions, suggests to him that it may be more than a nightmare. It may be the repressed childhood memory of something very real. Something like murder. Condition: A near fine copy in like jacket., Bantam Books, 1995, 4, Museum of Northern Arizona Press. , 1980.

Remainder mark at heal end pages. Make it new, said Pound, and Dobyns always does: this account of four extraordinary weeks in the life of a large Chilean family, sheltering from a series of earthquakes, is his best novel yet. The Big One rocked southern Chile on May 22, 1960, to be followed by months of smaller quakes and tremors, mudslides and tsunamis. Four thousand people were killed; the moon turned blood-red; many believed the end of the world was at hand. The solidly bourgeois Droppelman family of Puerto Varas experiences convulsions of its own, culminating in scandal. The story is told by eight-year-old Lucy, whose father, a cattle merchant, is killed by a falling chimney brick; she and her two brothers take refuge in their grandparents' farmhouse. Lucy's grandmother is overjoyed by the quake, since she has all her brood under one roof: very much the controlling matriarch, she envisions them all dying and entering Heaven together. Ironically, the opposite will happen: they will survive, but fragmented--because the earthquake frees the adults from conventional restraints. Great-aunt Clotilde dresses up for Death in her sister's wedding gown; gluttonous Uncle Walterio steals his nephew's candy; Aunt Miriam is permanently tipsy. Uncle Hellmuth and Alcibiades, formerly best friends, fall out when Alcibiades becomes infatuated with Hellmuth's wife, a self-absorbed coquette; there is a bloody fistfight, and Alcibiades leaves town. Lucy herself, devastated by her father's death, almost dies from a fever; her perspective is enriched by flash-forwards in which, 30 years later, the mature Lucy ponders the nature of memory and experience. Our often hapless attempts to control our lives are a common thread in Dobyns's work. But while Cold Dog Soup (1985) and The Two Deaths of Senora Puccini (1988) rested on outlandish premises, here Dobyns hits pay dirt with a credible situation that fits his preoccupations like a glove.
