News from Sunny Treasures

2017 is Sunnyside’s Year of Change! Just as alterations currently are ongoing in the villas, so too, renovations are slated for Sunny Treasures and its hallway. What won’t change though is the cheerful yellow color of Sunny Treasures’ salesroom; however, there’ll be a fresh coat of

paint. Expect to see a new laminate floor along with a new arrangement of merchandise for sale. Even the checkout counter will be in a different place!

Committee members are purchasing stylish display panels with the intention of creating such an attractive area for all those items for sale that you will want to return again and again to the new shelves, racks and cases. One intention is to make the space customer-friendly so that browsers need not worry about bumping into some thing or some one. We hope you are as excited as we are about the changes. We still do not have a date for reopening.

Books Especially for Summer Reading – All Large Print Format

Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz gives the

reader two mysteries for the price of one! He weaves a

classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into an

original modern-day mystery – giving the reader two

mysteries, two detectives, and possibly two murderers.

Named one of the Must-Reads for Summer 2017.

Beartown by Frederick Backman is the story of a tiny

community that pours all its hopes for the future into a

youth hockey team. It is filled with more of the same

remarkable characters you met in A Man Called Ove

and laced with sentimentality and empathy.

The Switch by Joseph Finder is a great Summer

Thriller about how a simple mistake (picking up the

wrong computer at a security screening) throws an

innocent man into the crosshairs of government secrets

and ruthless political ambitions. The computer belongs

to a US Senator who has illegally downloaded

sensitive classified files. This novel is not only hard to

put down, but an intense and relevant tale about

government secrets falling into the wrong hands.

Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly weaves together the

stories of three women during World War II that reveal

the bravery, cowardice, and cruelty of those days.

Instead of writing “historical fiction” she manages to

examine history from a female point of view. The

result is a smart, thoughtful and old-fashioned good

read.

Not A Sound by Heather Gudenkauf is the story of a

young nurse who has lost everything after a tragic

accident - career, husband, stepdaughter, and even her

hearing. It is a riveting thriller, but it's also a moving

portrait of a woman who is stronger than she ever

believed possible, against all odds. Remember the old

movie, Wait Until Dark?

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins is another

suspense-filled story by the author of The Girl on the

Train. It is a psychological thriller about two women

whose deaths add to the list of women who have

drowned in the same river. The author uses

deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as all

the devastating ways that the past can reach into the

present as events dredge up secrets long submerged.

The Highlands Library August 2017

REGULAR PRINT Camino Island, by John Grisham, is a novel about the theft of some of F. Scot Fitzgerald’s hand-written original work---manuscripts--- and the unofficial recruitment of a young writer to “keep an eye on” a book-seller suspect. Description of the theft itself (with diversionary tactics using fire crackers and smoke bombs) is mild compared to the account of complex dealings among crooks, insurance companies and book dealers, which eventually solve the crime.

Kiss Carlo, by Adriana Trigiani, tells the story of a large Italian family who enjoy the prosperity that comes to America after the end of WWII. Their close ties are weakened when a nephew breaks away from the family business to find his passion in the theater. It takes a large, public show-down to lead to reconciliation between tradition and new life in the New World.

The Identicals, by Elin Hilderbrand, tells about twin girls who are physically identical but very different in personality and behavior. Separated when their parents divorced, Tabitha goes to live with their mother on Nantucket Island, while Harper stays with their father on Martha’s Vineyard. After ten years apart, they are reluctantly reunited, and their differences are highlighted by cruel, sarcastic and critical remarks. At this point scores of friends enter the story with gossip about the varied pasts of these young women, gradually revealing truths which soften their relationship.

LARGE PRINT Sunset in Old Savannah, by Mary Eddis, is about Beth and Mike, private detectives for Price Investigations, who are sent to historical Old Savannah to surveil the activities of a possibly unfaithful husband. Considering it an easy (but sleazy) job, they soon find themselves involved with the man’s murder, and their client’s need for their practical and emotional support. So much for the rule that professional detectives must stay personally uninvolved.

Cilia’s House, by C.E. Stevenson, is Dunnian House, a centuries-old gray-stone mansion located in the valley below the hills of the Scottish Border. Home for many generations to the Dunne family, it now belongs to Miss Celia Dunne, who, at age ninety, is fragile but alert, and has been considering the future of Dunnian House. Her brothers and nephews and nieces, as well as the staff of servants, all assume the heir is her eldest brother’s eldest son, who is childless, and pretty old himself. Imagine what happens when the mansion goes to her youngest son’s grandson---younger, with a sweet wife and three children. A much better choice for the future of Dunnian.
