Breakfast with Tiffany: an uncle’s memoir, by Edwin John Wintle at NFPB/BIOGRAPHY, is a year in the life of Uncle Ed, a New York urban gay who takes on the care of his fifteen year old “in trouble” niece Tiffany, an enjoyable biography that at times reads more like a novel. Over the year Ed takes on schools, drugs, curfews, guns, sex, phones with his niece but also manages to learn about himself.

The Bronte Project: a novel of passion, desire and good PR, by Jennifer Vandever at F/VAND is a “romance” with interlinked bits and pieces about the Bronte family. If you have read more than Wuthering Heights by this literary family you will get a lot more out of this book…and in particular the ending.
