In 1996,
The Oprah Winfrey Show introduced Oprah’s Book Club – and the publishing world has never been the same.
Since Oprah selected her first work,
The Deep End of the Ocean by Jacquelyn Mitchard, books – fiction, non-fiction, troubled memoirs – have skyrocketed to popularity. And the episodes in which Oprah discussed the book, typically with the author present, are some of the most popular interviews the talk show host has conducted.
Below, you will find titles chosen in 2007:
This historical novel focuses on the construction of a cathedral in Kingsbridge, England, in the middle of the 12th century.
A romance set in the early 20th century in an unnamed port town somewhere in the Caribbean, where Fermina Daza is caught in love triangle between the faithful, if subdued Juvenal Urbino, and the more romantic and aloof Florentino Ariza.
Calliope Stephanides narrates the novel, which explores his (fictional) life growing up in Detroit in the late 20th century. The twist: Calliope has 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.
A post-apocalyptic tale about a father and son who journey toward the sea in search of food, shelter and some sign of life. A bleak and desolate tale that rewards the reader with a blossom of hope.
