<p>None of us remember our babyhood, but in Madeleine's World author Brian Hall ( The Saskiad ) gives us a glimpse into what it might've felt like. Madeleine's World is an odd, charming biography of a particular child, from birth to age 3. Hall, Madeleine's father, begins at day one of Madeleine's life, observing Madeleine and speculating on her perceptions and experience of infancy. As she grows, Hall gives us a look at her developmental first laugh, first words, first step, first tantrum--from the inside out. As Madeleine grows, we gain insights into the development of language and consciousness, attachments and separation, curiosity and fear. Hall's experience in writing fiction is Madeleine's World has the urgency of a novel. When Madeleine is 3 years old, the book draws to a close, and readers are left with a sense of utter respect for the child--every child--and for all human beings.</p>

Europe

<p>Lewis & Clark s expedition to the Pacific Ocean & back in the early 19th century is the most famous journey in American history. But its public image of discovery & triumphant return has veiled its private stories of longing & loss, of self-discovery & mutual ignorance, of good luck & mischance & fortunate misunderstanding. The author became convinced that these half-hidden personal stories could best be told in the intimate voice of fiction. Hall chose to focus on emblematic moments through the whole range of the lives of its participants. Hall has used the novelist s art to create a compulsively readable book that fills in the gaps & provides a new perspective on this great American story.</p>
