Author: Carson McCullers
Couldn't resist the melancholy author photo on the cover and I've been meaning to read this forever. Pretty sad and without hope, and a bit heavy on race relations and economic theory, but loads of horrid inescapable humanity.

Malice in Miniature

Nosy American, married to a British Chief Inspector (or something) investigates odd happenings around the the 'Dollhouse Museum' and two murders.

Beatrix, youngest child and animal lover, takes pity on a soldier in the Crimean war and writes to him, pretending to be the beautiful girl down the road. Good Crimean detail and believable post-traumatic shock.

Tyranny
Author / Illustrator: Lesley Fairfield
Graphic novel about the author's experience with anorexia / bulemia. Remarkable personification of the 'other self' that ruled her eating decisions. The use of line was so expressive.
Wept over the kindness of a stranger to her.
