OUT FOR IN FEBRUARY
Sycamore Row by John Grisham
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before
he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will.
It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict
as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford
County’s most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raise
far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his
fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to
think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known
as Sycamore Row?

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Theo Decker, a thirteen-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident
that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a
wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed
by schoolmates who don’t know how to talk to him, and tormented above all
by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds
him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo
into the underworld of art. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing
rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works.
He is alienated and in love - and at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.
