Significant books arouse us frôm our Ilethargy, and leave us' with convictions, they change. our atti- tudes, enflarge Our e xperiences, and give us beauty and pleasure. With' these. thoughts in mmid w~e consider the books at our disposai. The -one- that hias been called the sea- son's finest novel is "Men of Good .Wili" by jules Romains., It' k a cross-section of Parisian if e writt.en with great insight and. ski!]. .Two prize novels of the year 'are Janet. Beith's "No ýSecond Spring" and Paul Horgan's1 "Fauit of, the Angels." The, flrst is a quiet story of a minister's wife in a smalIl village in northern Scotland, the second' is a witty, satiric romasu -à' clef of..a highly sophisticated musical grQup. Asiricere study of an every-da.,' marriage in. England is Elizabeth ICambridge's "Hlostages tQ Fortune." Thle values are best appreciated hi niothers. Brc'ifield's "The, Farm" is more or less autobiographical.. He has an e x- traordinarily rich understanding of the qualities of men and women. In a sense this explains his first twc- novels "The Green Bay Tree" and "Possession." Tomlinson's "Snows of Helicon" is difficult to read, well repays the tinie spent on the therne of heauty and materialism. era approaches this romantic pio- neer community. A' cumulative storv of famiy life in Georgia from 1800-1870 is "Lamnb in Ris Bosom" by Caroline Lamb. it bas been likened toeKisi Lavrans- datter" in quality. Richard Aidington's: "Ail Men Are Enemies" is a 'beautifully written book.
