The Love Song of Jonny Valentine: A Novel, by Teddy Wayne (Free Press, $24.99) “A bittersweet, frank, and funny take on modern celebrity, The Love Song of Jonny Valentine introduces a young pop phenomenon whose career and every move is managed by his mother, who has her own set of problems with drugs and men. Jonny, who is haunted by the memory of his missing father, is both wise and appallingly naïve as he deals with his newfound fame, the business of pop music, and the users and hangers-on of the celebrity world. A touching, funny, and moving view of stardom and how talented young people deal with sudden fame and success.” —Ellen Burns, Books on the Common, Ridgefield, CT

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteAll This Talk of Love: A Novel, by Christopher Castellani (Algonquin, $13.95) “The final installment in Castellani’s Maddalena trilogy is his best yet. This is an instantly engaging and authentic story about a multigenerational Italian-American family planning a trip to their ancestral village. Love, resentment, deception, and tenderness—all the complexities of a family in love and in conflict—are handled with beauty and precision. There is not a single false note in this moving novel by a very gifted and assured writer.” —Stan Hynds, Northshire Bookstore, Manchester Center, VT
