"A sprawling saga illuminating the interregnum between World Wars I and II. Quentin's French lover, Nadine, emerges as an expansive and fearless character. She becomes an important player in the quiet, secret, initial resistance to Hitler's ethnic cleansing." -Cheryl Fields, writer and managing editor, Change Magazine "A fascinating read. Haro's sequel to Twist of Fate follows Nadine and Quentin during the tumultuous years 1919 to 1939. Their love affair continues during the 'Roaring Twenties, ' the Great Depression and emerging European Fascism. Before getting together, World War II begins, promising them a collision course with destiny." -I. M. Heyman, former Chancellor, University of California, Berkeley and former Secretary, Smithsonian Institution "Haro's sequel to Twist of Fate continues Nadine and Quentin's love story. They find temporary happiness but face great challenges in this literate, fascinating novel of pre-World War II. International intrigue and behind-the-scenes politics make this an important historical novel." -Colleen Rae, author of Nearly Naked, and Correspondent, Local Observer, Saugatuck, MI "The adventure continues, and so does the entrancing reading. Fans of Twist of Fate will be delighted to explore Nadine and Quentin's world. Those who didn't read it should finish Intermezzo and read the first book as a 'prequel.'" -Juan Mestas, Chancellor, University of Michigan, Flint

The Secret Emissary tells the story of a young Mexican from a wealthy family in Sonora, Mexico. Educated in Spain, Luis Esquerre Calella de Valderano is a skilled researcher and writer, and with a penchant for international relations and diplomacy, he becomes an unofficial Vatican liaison with an American diplomat during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. A talented academic, accomplished musician, and agile sportsman—a friend to popes and aristocrats alike—Luis becomes a collaborator in underground activities against Fascists in Italy, Germany, and Spain. As a covert agent for the Jesuit Superior General and Popes Pius XI and XII and a secret liaison between the Vatican and Jesuit Curia and American military intelligence, Luis cuts a swath through history as he becomes a Monsignor, a Bishop, and after World War II, a Cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church.

Poetry. Jewish Studies. Philip Terman's latest poetry collection, THIS CRAZY DEVOTION, begins appropriately enough with "Tormented Meshuggenehs," "the crazy sages... / who dervished across the hayfields / and paused to yawp a parable to the cows about the seven beggars..." This passage announces much about the poetry that follows: that its craziness indeed is of the order of devotion in the spiritual sense, rooted in Judaism; and also that it often takes place in bucolic surroundings, rooted in the land. And why is this a little surprising, this conjunction of Jewish life and rural setting? For Terman they are seamless and sacred, and by portraying his Jewishness as woven through a life and landscape familiar to many (non-Jewish) readers, he dispels stereotypes and creates a community of mutual recognition and understanding. That would be virtue enough to applaud this collection, but it offers many other pleasures. "I am talking about this world, there is no other," he declares in the long and lovely meditative "Garden Chronicle" that forms the final section of the book. Such a world it is, full of all of the things to which he is crazily devoted, all of the things he writes about with such acuity and tenderness in these poems: heritage and faith, social justice, poetry, and even (in the title poem) almost meeting Bob Dylan--but foremost, his family and nature, both of which sustain him. He communes with ancestors, a grandfather he was too young to remember, who must have sung to him in Yiddish (and who, he supposes, just might have posed for Chagall). He imagines the radio interview his father might have given, replete with Borscht Belt humor, and recalls going for bagels with "the schlemiel... / who dated your sister-in-law / after your brother died." He devotes the second section, "Of Longing and Chutzpah," to memories of his mother, and in one of the most humorous and poignant moments recalls how in childhood his mother cut his hair to save money, an act Terman likens to "sculpting" him into all the things she might have wished him to be, "the boy she wants to be a mensch." (Based on the accounting he gives here, she succeeded. She also carved out a considerable poet.) Most of all, he writes of "The love of the long married," of children "at the kitchen table / doing homework," waiting on a school bus which arrives bearing all the hopes and happiness in the world. He gives the last word to the daughter whose question "After Later?" signifies "no set time, farther than the horizon, / on top of the sky, around the bend, outside this moment we're in" when, perhaps "all those things they said would happen / must surely have occurred." Such a lovely description of faith, so worthy of devotion.
