Galy - Worldcat has 348 for the page count. Are there blank pages or advertisements, etc. that you are counting in your total?

Worldcat has 303 for the page count. Do you have the book in hand?

290 pages, and not 304
there's also an author problem. Robert Hillman is listed as primary on the page, but on the cover it's Najaf Mazari first, and rightfully so, since it's a book about growing up in Hazara culture. (listing Robert Hillman first is terrible whitewashing)
Thanks for drawing attention to this, Elie - found a few other books with Robert Hillman that had the same problem. :/Fixed them all, and edited the page count on the edition you mentioned. :)

386 pages
(Current displayed page count of 416 is counting the preview of her next book.)
#214: WorldCat says 385, which is close enough—set to 386 based on book-in-hand confirmation.

Which is fine, so 386 is still correct.

#224: WorldCat does not list a page count; Book Depository says 332 pages. Can you confirm 333 pages from a copy of that edition you have in hand?
Codex wrote: "#224: WorldCat does not list a page count; Book Depository says 332 pages. Can you confirm 333 pages from a copy of that edition you have in hand?"Confirming 333. I have the book in hand. The story is 332 pages but page 333 is a note from the author about researching the book and GR policy says to count that so I did.

Summary from back of box below.
Criminal profiler Frank Black believed the face of evil was a human face -- until the investigation of grisly murders in San Francisco introduces him to a world where evil may be an entity of greater power than he ever imagined.
The discovery of several pounds of human ashes -- the remains of murder victims burned alive -- leads Frank and the Millennium Group to uncover a cult awaiting Armageddon. Frank's search for the cult leader brings him face to face with a man whose power is so baffling, whose influence is so pervasive, that he tests Frank's understanding of the nature of evil.

Her Own Place traces the life and times of Mae Lee Barnes, an African American woman from rural South Carolina. The novel begins with Mae Lee's life as a teenager in the 1940s and follows her eventual marriage to her boyfriend, Jeff Barnes, who proposes before going off to fight in World War II. While Jeff is in the army, Mae Lee works rotating shifts at a local munitions plant and saves every penny she can to purchase a small farm. When Jeff returns from the war, he alternates between spending time on the farm and going to find work in the city, and eventually the family decides to start a new life in the city together. The day their new life is to begin, Jeff abandons Mae Lee and their five children, and the story traces Mae Lee's struggles and triumphs after Jeff leaves, including her challenges as a single parent on a working farm, her life after her children are grown, the realities of racial integration in the South, and the realization that her memory is slipping away.
