Graeme Simsion

Get ready to set aside your weekend to bury your nose, and your heart, in this one.   
Jesmyn Ward

A brutal world rendered beautifully from National Book Award Winner (Salvage the Bones) Jesmyn Ward.  This memoir is a loving tribute to the 5 young men in her life, lost to to drugs, accidents, suicide, and the bad luck that can follow people who live in poverty, particularly black men.  Ward gives voice to love in a difficult life, and offers reflections on our American reality.  

"One of Washington's most in-the-know private eyes spills the beans in this canny memoir.... The truth Lenzner unveils, in part through shrewd thumbnails of everyone from John Dean to Kenneth Starr, is more about character and motive-the arrogant delusions that spawn and sustain malfeasance, and the resentments and idealism that spur informants and whistleblowers. The result is a low-key but absorbing study of the hidden impulses behind corruption and scandal." -Publishers Weekly
"Patrick Leigh Fermor walked from Holland to Constantinople in the 1930s, swam the Hellespont, captured a German general, wandered the Caribbean, befriended everyone of consequence and wit, and wrote about it all in some of the most elegant, sinuous prose of the century. His friend Artemis Cooper has written the biography his singular life richly deserves." - The Daily Beast

Jo Baker

In this irresistibly imagined belowstairs answer to
Pride and Prejudice, the servants take center stage.  Achingly romantic historical novel about the gritty daily life of the lower classes in Regency England.  Will tide us over til the next season of Dowton Abbey.
Jayne Anne Phillips        

One of America's acclaimed fiction writers, Glen Ridger Jayne Phillips has written a chilling and utterly compelling novel based on a story that has haunted her for forty years. A con man who preyed on young widows.this is also the story of no-nonsense female reporter who uncovers the story.  Most importantly, Phillips writing is poetic and imaginative.    
Hardcover and eBook.  
Sean B. Carroll
 
A fascinating look at how war, resistance, and friendship can catalyze genius.  Writer Albert Camus and Scientist Jacques Monod were transformed by extraordinary events which led to the flowering of creative genius.


In a lively and pointed variation on James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, conceptually adventurous Naslund portrays two women artists in a novel-within-a-novel. She explores the transformative power of art, history, and love in the lives of creative women. Hardcover and eBook 
Emma Chapman

Tis the season - for scary tales!  And Chapman's haunting literary debut will keep you on the edge of your seat.  A tale of submerged horror about an empty-nest housewife coming unhinged.  A chilling rumination about the nature of feminine experience.
