One is for ‘Much Ado About Nada’ a romance novel by Uzma Jalaluddin, of Toronto. It is the story of Nada, a young woman looking to make something of her gifts of intelligence and ambition while at the same time, keeping her friends and her match-making mother happy. And, oh, by the way, finding a place in her life for a complicating romance she sometimes wishes would just disappear!
The second one, ‘Some Bright Nowhere‘, a novel by Ann Packer of Stanford California, is a tale of a marriage in which one of the partners has been slowly dying for almost a decade and is approaching the end with some things apparently unresolved. These are characters many of us can certainly empathize with.
