Publishers Weekly Follett's new thriller (after Eye of the Needle, The Key to Rebecca) involves cut-throat treachery and mixed-up romances. Jane and Ellis, Americans in Paris, are lovers, but she breaks with him when she learns he's a CIA agent, informing on terrorists. Ellis goes back to the U.S.; Jane marries Jean-Pierre Debout, a French physician, and goes with him to Afghanistan to care for rebel families holding out against the Russian army. Here is where the novel's real action, and its knife-edge tension, begin. After the birth of her baby, Jane discovers that Jean-Pierre is himself spying for the Russians and has caused a massacre of guerrilla fighters who were trapped at the foot of the mountains. Then Ellis reappears, bearing offers of American aid for Afghan leader Masud if the latter can unite his country's quarreling tribes. While Jean-Pierre is conspiring with the S oviet intruders to kill Masud, Ellis, Jane and even the infant girl, the story races to an explosive climax. | Penguin Books |

| 9780940669390 | Monologues For Teenage Girls | Pomerance, Susan | Because a monologue comes from a great play, it doesn't necessarily follow that it's a great monologue for you. The writing may be fine and literary, but, from an actor's standpoint, there are other considerations. A great monologue for you is one that showcases you, lends itself best to your interpretation, makes auditors, instructors and casting directors sit up and say, "Wow!" Often, monologues lifted from plays are -- because they are lifted from plays -- totally out of context. They don't make a lot of sense unless delivered in relation to the total piece. Unless you devote a great portion of your valuable, allotted time to exposition, a monologue pulled randomly from a play is an abstract thing and is usually, therefore, of an unspecified duration with no point of reference, no point of view, and no beginning, middle and end. Dramaline's original monologues are of ideal duration, embrace contemporary subjects, have definite points of view, are written in today's speech, and have beginnings middles and ends. And they are not over-worked warhorses. They are fresh slices of modern life that focus maximum attention on you. And they are formatted with readable spacing and printed on eye-easy paper. Every consideration has been taken to make Dramaline books easy on the actor, to make them readily usable, effective tools. The accent is on you! A collection of monologues for teenage girls, exploring such topics as drugs, blind dates, and having a gay parent. | Dramaline Pubns |
| 9780380761876 | Monologues For Young Actors | Cohen, Lorraine | In professional and student theater alike, a good monlogue can often mean the difference between a "Thank you . . .

Monologues For Young Actors is a unique and invaluable collection of dramatic speeches from some of the world's greatest plays — chosen specifically for actors in their teens and early twenties. Whether you're looking for something comedic or tragic, contemporary or classic, unorthodox or naturalistic, this superb compilation has the monologue you need — an indispensible tool to help you hone you craft . . . and land that role. Noted drama teacher Lorraine Cohen follows up her successful Scenes for Young Actors with a collection of monologues, perfect for drama students and their instructors. Ms. Cohen selects 60 wide ranging monologues that actors will enjoy performing. Original. Poetry/Plays | Avon |
