  2. Five books to read now

    The books in this week's roundup are united less by theme than by the fact that they're all new and noteworthy. But before we get to that, since Monday is Holocaust Remembrance Day, I'm going to throw in a sixth book — “Vera Gran: The Accused” by Agata Tuszynska (Knopf, 303 pages, $28.95). Vera Gran, a torch singer in the Warsaw Ghetto who survived the war, was implicated as a Nazi collaborator. Tuszynska's book deftly explores the allegations and the nuances of complicity and guilt. It is a story about wartime morality that raises more questions than it answers — which is precisely what Holocaust Remembrance Day is about.

  12. Why do my orange trees have no fruit? Blame pruning, watering

    <strong>I have two orange trees that were planted 12 years ago. They bore beautiful fruit until four years ago, when my gardener pruned them rather severely. Since that pruning, no more fruit at all. But the trees appear healthy -- very green, with few yellowing leaves. Please advise as to how we can get them to bear fruit again.</strong>
