August, 1943. Fourteen-year-old Massimo is all alone. Newly orphaned and fleeing from Rome after surviving a bombing raid that killed his parents, Massimo is attacked by thugs and finds himself bloodied at the base of the Montecassino. It is there in the Benedictine abbey\u2019s shadow that a charismatic and cryptic man calling himself Pietro Houdini, the self-proclaimed \u201cMaster Artist and confidante of the Vatican,\u201d rescues Massimo and makes him an assistant in preserving the treasures that lay within the monastery walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

But can Massimo believe what Pietro is saying, particularly when Massimo has secrets too? Who is this extraordinary man? When it becomes evident that Montecassino will soon become the front line in the war, Pietro Houdini and Massimo plan to smuggle three priceless Titian paintings to safety down the mountain. They are joined by a vivid cast of characters and together they will lie, cheat, steal, fight, kill, and sin their way through battlefields to survive, all while smuggling the Renaissance masterpieces and the bag full of ancient Greek gold they have rescued from the \u201csafe keeping\u201d of the Germans.<\/p>\n

Heartfelt, powerfully engaging, and in the tradition of Anthony Doerr\u2019s All the Light We Cannot See<\/span>, this is a work of storytelling bravado: a thrilling action-packed art heist, an imaginative chronicle of forgotten history, and a poignant coming-of-age epic where a child navigates one of the most morally complex fronts of World War II and lives to tell the tale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now comes a new milestone in this boldly imaginative author\u2019s accomplished, resonant body of work.

Encountering lunatic storms and rising corpses from the warming depths, Rainy finds on land an increasingly desperate and illiterate people, a malignant billionaire ruling class, crumbled infrastructure and a lawless society. Amidst the Gulliver-like challenges of life at sea and no safe landings, Rainy is lifted by physical beauty, surprising humor, generous strangers, and an unexpected companion in a young girl who comes aboard. And as his innate guileless nature begins to make an inadvertent rebel of him, Rainy\u2019s private quest for the love of his life grows into something wider and wilder, sweeping up friends and foes alike in his strengthening wake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sylvia Plath is an object of enduring cultural fascination\u2015the troubled patron saint of confessional poetry, a writer whose genius is buried under the weight of her status as the quintessential literary sad girl. Emily Van Duyne\u2015a superfan and scholar\u2015radically reimagines the last years of Plath\u2019s life, confronts her suicide and the construction of her legacy.

Many of us feel trapped in a grind of constant change: rolling news cycles, the chatter of social media, our families split along partisan lines. We feel fearful and tired, on edge in our bodies, not quite knowing what has us perpetually depleted. For Katherine May, this low hum of fatigue and anxiety made her wonder what she was missing. Could there be a different way to relate to the world, one that would allow her to feel more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet? Might there be a way for all of us to move through life with curiosity and tenderness, sensitized to the subtle magic all around?<\/p>\n

In <\/span>Enchantment<\/span><\/em>, May invites the reader to come with her on a journey to reawaken our innate sense of wonder and awe. With humor, candor, and warmth, she shares stories of her own struggles with work, family, and the aftereffects of pandemic, particularly feelings of overwhelm as the world rushes to reopen. Craving a different way to live, May begins to explore the restorative properties of the natural world, moving through the elements of earth, water, fire, and air and identifying the quiet traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. Through deliberate attention and ritual, she unearths the potency and nourishment that come from quiet reconnection with our immediate environment. Blending lyricism and storytelling, sensitivity and empathy, <\/span>Enchantment<\/span> invites each of us to open the door to human experience in all its sensual complexity, and to find the beauty waiting for us there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atticus O\u2019Sullivan is the last of the ancient druids. He has been on the run for more than two thousand years and he\u2019s tired of it. The Irish gods who want to kill him are after an enchanted sword he stole in a first-century battle, and when they find him managing an occult bookshop in Tempe, Arizona, Atticus doesn\u2019t want to uproot his life again. He just wants everything to end one way or another, but preferably the way in which he can continue to enjoy fish and chips.<\/p>\n

He does have some small hope of survival: The Morrigan, the Irish Chooser of the Slain, is on his side, and so is Brighid, First Among the Fae. His lawyer is literally a bloodsucking vampire, and he has a loyal Irish wolfhound with opinions about poodles.<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s facing down some mighty enemies: Aenghus \u00d3g, a vengeful Irish god, plus a coven of witches and even the local police. On top of all that, Aenghus has a direct line to the firepower of hell. Atticus will need all the luck of the Irish and more if he\u2019s going to stay alive.<\/p>\n

“As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.<\/p>\n

But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn\u2019t a primary concern.<\/p>\n

On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied \u2018droid \u2014 a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as \u201cMurderbot.\u201d Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.<\/p>\n

But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it’s up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shivering and bruised, a teen wakes up on the side of a dirt road with no memory of how she got there\u2015or who she is. A passing officer takes her to the police station, and not long after, a frantic man arrives. He’s been searching for her <\/span>for hours<\/span>.

On the outside they were the golden family with the perfect life. On the inside they built the perfect lie.<\/p>\n

A young nanny who plunged to her death, or was she pushed? A nine-year-old girl who collects sharp objects and refuses to speak. A lawyer whose job it is to uncover who in the family is a victim and who is a murderer. But how can you find out the truth when everyone here is lying?<\/p>\n

Rose Barclay is a nine-year-old girl who witnessed the possible murder of her nanny – in the midst of her parent’s bitter divorce – and immediately stopped speaking. Stella Hudson is a best interest attorney, appointed to serve as counsel for children in custody cases. She never accepts clients under thirteen due to her own traumatic childhood, but Stella’s mentor, a revered judge, believes Stella is the only one who can help.<\/p>\n

From the moment Stella passes through the iron security gate and steps into the gilded, historic DC home of the Barclays, she realizes the case is even more twisted, and the Barclay family far more troubled, than she feared. And there’s something eerie about the house itself: It’s a plastic house, with not a single bit of glass to be found.<\/p>\n

As Stella comes closer to uncovering the secrets the Barclays are desperate to hide, danger wraps around her like a shroud, and her past and present are set on a collision course in ways she never expected. Everyone is a suspect in the nanny’s murder. The mother, the father, the grandmother, the nanny’s boyfriend. Even Rose. Is the person Stella’s supposed to protect the one she may need protection from?<\/p>\n

When she stumbles across the ad, she\u2019s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss\u2014a live-in nannying post, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten\u2014by the luxurious \u201csmart\u201d home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family.<\/p>\n

What she doesn\u2019t know is that she\u2019s stepping into a nightmare\u2014one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.<\/p>\n

Writing to her lawyer from prison, she struggles to explain the events that led to her incarceration. It wasn\u2019t just the constant surveillance from the home\u2019s cameras, or the malfunctioning technology that woke the household with booming music, or turned the lights off at the worst possible time. It wasn\u2019t just the girls, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasn\u2019t even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time, with no adults around apart from the enigmatic handyman.<\/p>\n

It was everything.<\/p>\n

She knows she\u2019s made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post, and that her behavior toward the children wasn\u2019t always ideal. She\u2019s not innocent, by any means. But, she maintains, she\u2019s not guilty\u2014at least not of murder\u2014but somebody is.<\/p>\n

Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware\u2019s signature suspenseful style, <\/span>The Turn of the Key <\/span>is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Home.<\/p>\n

Penny\u2019s prepared for the usual Thanksgiving lineup: her perfect sister, meddling nana, matchmaking mother, and workaholic father. The guest she didn\u2019t anticipate? Her ex-husband, Smith. After an awkward rideshare with Smith leaves Penny questioning why the romance in her life exists only in her novels, Penny adds some fiction to reality and turns her father\u2019s colleague into the perfect fake boyfriend.<\/p>\n

With only four days to mend damaged relationships, and her bookstore\u2019s future at stake, all the stars must align for Penny to finally write a happily ever after for herself and her family.<\/p>\n

It’s been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend.<\/p>\n

One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of “what do people need?” is answered. <\/p>\n

But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.<\/p>\n

Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelago’s most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance.<\/p>\n

I carry each book I\u2019ve ever read with me, just as I carry my dead\u2015those things that aren\u2019t really there, those things that shape everything I am. <\/span><\/p>\n

A genre-bending work of nonfiction, Samantha Hunt\u2019s <\/span>The Unwritten Book <\/span>explores ghosts, ghost stories, and haunting, in the broadest sense of each. What is it to be haunted, to be a ghost, to die, to live, to read? Books are ghosts; reading is communion with the dead. Alcohol is a way of communing, too, as well as a way of dying. <\/p>\n

Each chapter gathers subjects that haunt: dead people, the forest, the towering library of all those books we\u2019ll never have time to read or write. Hunt, like a mad crossword puzzler, looks for patterns and clues. Through literary criticism, history, family history, and memoir, inspired by W. G. Sebald, James Joyce, Ali Smith, Toni Morrison, William Faulkner, and many others, Hunt explores motherhood, hoarding, legacies of addiction, grief, how we insulate ourselves from the past, how we misinterpret the world. Nestled within her inquiry is a very special ghost book, an incomplete manuscript about people who can fly without wings, written by her father and found in his desk just days after he died. What secret messages might his work reveal? What wisdom might she distill from its unfinished pages? <\/p>\n

Hunt conveys a vivid and grateful life, one that comes from living closer to the dead and shedding fear for wonder. <\/span>The Unwritten Book<\/span> revels in the randomness, connectivity, and magic of everyday existence. And at its heart is the immense weight of love.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel\u2019s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.<\/p>\n

Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count\u2019s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.<\/p>\n

In Margaret Atwood\u2019s dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead\u2019s commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, <\/span>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale <\/span>is a modern classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this vivid and captivating journey through the colors of an artist\u2019s palette, Victoria Finlay takes us on an enthralling adventure around the world and through the ages, illuminating how the colors we choose to value have determined the history of culture itself.<\/p>\n

How did the most precious color blue travel all the way from remote lapis mines in Afghanistan to Michelangelo\u2019s brush? What is the connection between brown paint and ancient Egyptian mummies? Why did Robin Hood wear Lincoln green? In <\/span>Color<\/span>, Finlay explores the physical materials that color our world, such as precious minerals and insect blood, as well as the social and political meanings that color has carried through time.<\/p>\n

Roman emperors used to wear togas dyed with a purple color that was made from an odorous Lebanese shellfish\u2013which probably meant their scent preceded them. In the eighteenth century, black dye was called logwood and grew along the Spanish Main. Some of the first indigo plantations were started in America, amazingly enough, by a seventeen-year-old girl named Eliza. And the popular van Gogh painting <\/span>White Roses<\/span> at Washington\u2019s National Gallery had to be renamed after a researcher discovered that the flowers were originally done in a pink paint that had faded nearly a century ago. <\/span>Color<\/span> is full of extraordinary people, events, and anecdotes\u2013painted all the more dazzling by Finlay\u2019s engaging style.<\/p>\n

Embark upon a thrilling adventure with this intrepid journalist as she travels on a donkey along ancient silk trade routes; with the Phoenicians sailing the Mediterranean in search of a special purple shell that garners wealth, sustenance, and prestige; with modern Chilean farmers breeding and bleeding insects for their viscous red blood. The colors that craft our world have never looked so bright.<\/span><\/div>\n
