Natalie Landau, a museum curator with an expertise in Mesopotamian protective amulets and magical beliefs, has received a puzzling gift from her sister Dana--a necklace with a blue evil eye pendant on it.

St. Martin's Griffin imprint will publish the trade paperback edition of Unto the Daughters on July 8, 2008. Academicians and book clubs will especially appreciate the inclusion of Readers' Guide questions at the back of the book.
Aside from its nomination for a 2008 Michigan Notable Book Award, I am most proud that Unto the Daughters will be included in the first history of Michigan's Italians, currently being researched and written by an anthropologist with Italian and Michigan roots.
We are thrilled to announce that Romania has become the nineteeth country to acquire translation rights to The Book of Names, and Greece brings the total to twenty.
