These picks from Book Sense...very different, but both intriguing:
THE GREATEST MAN IN CEDAR HOLE: A Novel, by Stephanie Doyon (Simon & Schuster, $24, 0743271335) "I really enjoyed The Greatest Man in Cedar Hole, a unique depiction of small-town life that is as appealing as it is odd. The characters are fascinating (although not always likable), and the plot keeps you guessing as you travel through this wildly entertaining tale. A charming read!" --Dawn C. Donovan, Armchair Bookstore, Dennis, MA Also a Recorded Books Audio (Unabridged CD, 141934384X)
QUEEN EMMA AND THE VIKINGS: Power, Love, and Greed in 11th Century England, by Harriet O'Brien (Bloomsbury, $24.95, 1582345961) "Queen Emma and the Vikings tells the fascinating story of a young Norman girl who was wife to two English kings, mother of two more, and great-aunt of William the Conqueror. O'Brien has brought to life the chaotic, violent times before 1066 (which is often thought of as the beginning of English history) and one woman who left an indelible mark on that history." --Becky Milner, Vintage Books, Vancouver, WA
