"A gloriously strange book, both whimsical and brooding."—Jeremy Jackson, People The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has decided to replace Salt Cove's signature wooden bridge with a concrete monstrosity. The authorities are unreasoning and unyielding. The town decides on secession. Jessica Stoddard is a quirky seventy-two-year-old who is determined to keep a record of the event for posterity. She has a passion for the truth, but her account is not entirely reliable, because she also has a passion for the rebellion's ringleader who is...well, a much younger man. Toby Auberon is a lawyer and a drop-out. He has returned after years in Rio to perfect his mysterious invention in the solitude of the lighthouse. He is drawn, unwillingly, into the dispute when the bureaucracy switches tactics from bullying to armed occupation. Powerful, poignant, deeply funny, and enriched by the villagers' diverse voices, this is a contemporary farce about a town that dares to rebel against its own government, and to fight back when attacked.

The Polish Lover is an erotic novel of music, obsession, and exile - a first-person memoir of an affair, equal parts lust and love, gone wrong. Danny, a young jazz clarinetist from New York, meets a powerful expatriate Polish beauty named Maja while on tour in the South Pacific. Their tumultuous relationship leads back to her homeland in Eastern Europe during an icy Christmas, and a stormy end to the entanglement. The Polish Lover explores the difficulties and ecstasies of both improvising jazz and of falling hard for someone who turns out to be dangerous, strong-willed, and deceptive - the heady risks of playing music and of falling in love. Most of all, The Polish Lover is a cadenza of remembered desire, told with candor and humor and heat. And it is one of the few authentic jazz novels by a writer who is also a professional musician.
