Kristin Ohlson
You don't often hear the description, "a surprisingly humorous testament of faith," but that's how Booklist describes Ohlson's new book, Stalking the Divine, an account of her experiences with the Poor Clares, an intensely rigorous and disciplined sect of cloistered nuns.

Morteza Baharloo
There aren't a lot of novels from the point of view of an indentured servant who's actually content, but Baharloo's novel The Quince Seed Potion is, and from the perspective of an Iranian servant no less, which may very well be unprecedented. Powell's City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St., 228-4651, 7:30 pm
