The answers are mixed, between expectations and surprises, and thereby designed to reflect what is seen every day in reality. J.A.P. Chronicles (Doubleday; $23.95), in undercurrent, examines the influence of money and culture and brings dia- logue reflective of the author's screen- writing techniques. Three new moms share friendship and confidences in Little Earthquakes (Atria Books; $26) by Jennifer Weiner. After illness, ill will and betrayal vari- ously confound their lives, the three find ways to help yet another woman overcome a huge challenge. The char- acters exemplify the strength infused in the mainstays of the author's earlier books, Good in Bed and In Her Shoes, both being adapted for the screen. Breaking away from traditional values occupies the char- acters in Merrill Joan Gerber's askin—July, '04 THE ORIGINAL for Guys and the Women Who Rescue Them (Ballantine Books; $12.95).

Allon, the main character in Daniel Silva's Prince of Fire (G.P. Putnam's Sons; $25.95), returns to undercover work to find the terrorists responsible for an immense attack in Rome. The ultimate goal is to prevent future devastation, mixing heroes and villains in distant cities and various cultures as they confront one another. Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Elizabeth Frank leaves real people behind as she invents people of fiction through Cheat and Charmer (Random House; $25.95). Hollywood careers hang in the balance as history confronts two sisters — first in Europe as the Nazis gain power and second in Washington as communism becomes a Congressional issue. The two women test loyalty and ethics and a choice that will define family. The Angel of Forgetfulness (Viking; $24.95) by Steve Stern follows the development of a manuscript started by a shy proofreader for a Yiddish paper. Taking decades and other peo- ple to complete, the manuscript revolves around a fallen angel and his half-human son. Getting the project completed lets ordinary people escape into new worlds.
