Green Mile was an unprecedented publishing triumph: all six volumes

Welcome to Cold Mountain Penitentiary, home to the Depression-worn men
of E Block. Convicted killers all, each awaits his turn to walk the Green
Mile, keeping a date with "Old Sparky," Cold Mountain's electric
chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities in his
years working the Mile. But he's never seen anyone like John Coffey, a man
with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime
terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity. In this place of
ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible,
wondrous truth about Coffey, a truth that will challenge his most
cherished beliefs...and yours.

When his daughter, Amy, died suddenly of a heart condition, Roger Rosenblatt and his wife moved in with their son-in-law and their three young grandchildren. His story tells how a family makes the possible out of the impossible.
You are about to travel to Edgecombe St. Mary, a small village in the English countryside filled with rolling hills, thatched cottages, and a cast of characters both hilariously original and as familiar as the members of your own family.
The Postmistress is an unforgettable tale of the secrets we must bear, or bury. It is about what happens to love during wartime, when those we cherish leave. And how every story-of love or war-is about looking left when we should have been looking right.
