Today I’d like to give away a copy of Jane Stevenson’s Good Women, a collection of three novellas. Publishers’ Weekly praised the author’s voices as “distinct,” adding that “her eye for detail [is] keen, making these short forays into ordinary lives anything but.”

The first person to email me the title of the three novellas wins the book. Please include your mailing address, so we can both save time. Previous winners excluded, of course.

Update: The winner is Shanna G. from Portland, Oregon.

This week I’m giving away a copy of Alice Greenway’s White Ghost Girls, which was long-listed for the Orange Prize on Monday. You can read more about the American, Edinburgh-based author in this Scotsman article. A review of the book appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle in February.

The first person to email me gets the book. Please use the subject line “White Ghost Girls,” and please also include your mailing address. Previous winners excluded.

This week, I’m giving away a copy of Rereadings: Seventeen Writers Revisit Books They Love, edited by Anne Fadiman, and with contributions from Luc Sante, Patricia Hampl, Vivian Gopnick, and many others. The first person to email me wins the book. Please use the subject line “Rereadings” in your email, and please also include your mailing address. Previous winners excluded.

Update: The winner is Ally R. from Austin, Texas.

This week, I’d like to give away a copy of Elias Khoury’s Gate of the Sun. You can read all about this remarkable new novel in this earlier post here at Moorishgirl.

The second person (sometimes, it pays to be second) to correctly answer this question gets the book: When and where was Elias Khoury born? Please use the subject line “Gate of the Sun” in your email, and please also include your mailing address. Previous winners excluded.

Update: The winner is Mohammed S. from Mississauga, Ontario.
