Publisher's summary
An eccentric painter in a a small New England village rescues a handsome young stranger who insists he has fallen from the stars. The young man inspires both the artist's art and his heart.
James: "I had only ever really loved three things; my sister Ann, my painting, and my privacy. I always thought that was enough; love, sex, and such seemed too confusing and messy - too disruptive.
"After my sister passed away, our large New England house was suddenly a lonely place, until the handsome younger stranger appeared out of the starry night. I had followed his mysterious flute playing into the old cemetery across the lane and discovered him battered and with a broken leg. Deliriously he claimed to have flown and fallen from the stars.
"I took Russell into my home to recover from his broken leg. I began to paint him and fall in love for the first time in my life. As weeks went by, I was frightened by my new emotions. I also found myself frightened and fascinated by the youth's belief he was an angel.
"Was he perhaps a bit mad? Would I have to send him away for help? Would I lose Rus before I had really found him?"

A tour de force, Amulet is a highly charged first-person, semi-hallucinatory novel that embodies in one woman's voice the melancholy and violent recent history of Latin America. Amulet is a monologue, like Bolaño's acclaimed debut in English, By Night in Chile. The speaker is Auxilio Lacouture, a Uruguayan woman who moved to Mexico in the 1960s, becoming the "Mother of Mexican Poetry", hanging out with the young poets in the cafés and bars of the University.

Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge, Eyes Wide Shut), who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Woolf in the film adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel

Story
Long, lonely years have passed for the crumbling Château Clement, nestled well beyond the rolling lavender fields and popular tourist attractions of Provence. Once a bustling and dignified ancestral estate, now all that remains is the château's gruff, elderly owner and the softly whispered secrets of generations buried and forgotten. But time has a way of exposing history's dark stains, and when American photographer Cady Drake finds herself drawn to the château and its antique carousel, she longs to explore the relic's shadowy origins.
