Praise for One Good Deed

"Engaging, funny, wise, and winning, One Good Deed is a measure of humanity and of McHugh's own striving towards it."

-Susan Orlean, author of Rin Tin Tin and

The Orchid Thief

"One Good Deed is original, sweet-natured and often funny… Erin McHugh makes us ordinary mortals feel like real heels."

-Meg Wolitzer, author of The Uncoupling and The Ten-Year Nap

"I loved this book. It's charming and high-spirited and then it sneaks up from behind and breaks/mends your heart!"

-Susan Cheever, writer, teacher, and author of Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography

"Erin McHugh spent one year performing one good deed a day and recording her experiences. The result, this lovely, heartfelt book, shows humanity at its very best. Sometimes her good deeds are small and go unnoticed; other times, they're quite important, and will bring a sting of tears to the reader's eyes. Perhaps McHugh will start a trend. We could certainly do with more people like her in the world."

-Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me: A Memoir

"In Erin McHugh's inspiring book-so gently, so directly written from her gentle, direct heart-she tells us at one point to make someone feel visible. I felt more visible myself as I read it, for she sees quite clearly what we all need-to be shown that showing kindness to others is showing kindness to ourselves."

-Kevin Sessums, author of Mississippi Sissy

The Sexual Life of Catherine M.
英文图书 Catherine Millet
A national best-seller that was featured on such lists as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Boston Globe, and Publishers Weekly, The Sexual Life of Catherine M. was the controversial sleeper hit of the year. Since her youth, Catherine Millet, the eminent editor of Art Press, has led an extraordinarily active and free sexual life -- from al fresco encounters in Italy to a gang bang on the edge of the Bois du Boulogne to a high-class orgy at a chichi Parisian restaurant. A graphic account of sex stripped of sentiment, of a life of physical gratification and a relentlessly honest look at the consequences -- both liberating and otherwise -- have created this candid, powerful, and deeply intelligent depiction of unfettered sexuality.

The Wheel Spins
英文图书 Rosetta
Best known as the basis for Alfred HItchcock's classic film The Lady Vanishes, Ethel White's book The Wheel Spins is a gripping and accomplished work in its own right. The plot is deceptively simple and the premise is classic: a woman meets a mysterious stranger during a long railway journey. It's easy to see in this novel what Hitchcock found so compelling and so well-suited to his particular brand of filmmaking.
Now You See It
英文图书 Rosetta
