All Through Winter, debut album from Sydney melodic duo Georgia Fair, comprised of singer/songwriters Jordan Wilson and Ben Riley, owes as much to the alt-rock early days of Whiskeytown or Uncle Tupelo as it does to the golden age of hippiedom. Enlisting the production skills of Band Of Horses bassist Bill Reynolds, the boys went to Asheville, North Carolina to record (the same location that birthed BoH-s Infinite Arms) and emerged with an album part indie pop sing-alongs, part melancholic balladry. Opening single Where You Been? sits in the former camp, a light and breezy chorus and jangly guitars balancing out the slightly naff song title. On Float Away they seem to have already mastered the closing time boozy waltz, and placing it halfway through the album confidently states that there are plenty more hooks left. But through all the stomping drums and plaintive keyboards, Wilson and Riley-s tight vocal harmonies remain the focal point, the occasional Australian inflection creeping in sweetly rather than becoming overbearing (read: Missy Higgins). Expect big things in the future, because All Through Winter certainly shows they can exceed expectations.

A promising premise flatlines in Hattermer-Higgins's overwrought debut. Margaret Taub, a young American woman awakens in a forest outside Berlin in September of 2002 with a several-month-long blank spot in her memory. Two years later, after a letter, addressed to a "Margaret Taubner," arrives at her apartment, confirming an upcoming appointment with a doctor Margaret has never heard of, she meets the doctor, a gynecologist, who treats Margaret with uncomfortable familiarity and insists on serving as her "memory surgeon." The next morning, Berlin has "transformed into flesh," and, as Margaret negotiates the menacingly alive city, she is plagued by a mysterious feeling of guilt, all the while becoming increasingly obsessed with Magda Goebbels, the wife of Hitler's propaganda minister, and the possibly parallel story of Regina Strauss, a Jewish woman who committed suicide along with her husband and children. It doesn't take long for this novel to come undone, its magical realism and overly precious tone mixing uneasily with its ponderous claims about ethics and memory. Also problematic are the final revelations about Margaret's past, which are intended to be shocking and enlightening, but are instead burdened with insistence on meaning.

The Anglo-American alliance in WWII was not inevitable, writes former Baltimore Sun correspondent Olson (Troublesome Young Men). In this ingenious history, he emphasizes the role of three prominent Americans living in London who helped bring it about. Best known was Edward R. Murrow, head of CBS radio's European bureau after 1937. His pioneering live broadcasts during the blitz made him a celebrity, and Olson portrays a man who worked tirelessly to win American support for Britain...
