THE NIX: A Novel

A hilarious and deeply touching debut novel about a son, the mother who left him as a child, and

how his search to uncover the secrets of her life leads him to reclaim his own. The writing is

amazing, it reminded me of when I first read The World According to Garp. And the book has a

six-page sentence . . . how could you not check it out?

Elena Ferrante

FRANTUMAGLIA: An Author’s Journey

Through Letters, Interviews,

and Occasional Writings

If you are one of the people

completely obsessed with

the Neapolitan series like I

am, then you know how

significant it is to find out

more about the reclusive writer of these

amazing stories of life, politics, heartbreak,

and female friendship. In this collection, Elena Ferrante addresses

many subjects, such as; her choice to remain anonymous, her literary

inspirations, Italian politics and culture, and the role of the writer (and

the publisher) in modern society. Ferrante’s voice is ever the same;direct, penetrating, acute, inspiring and intimate.

Then there was The Girl

on the Train. Now, there’s

The Girl Before. Jane

Cavendish is looking for a

new beginning. One Fol-

gate Street seems to be the answer to her

prayers. The home is sleek and minimalist,

and is wired to anticipate the occupant’s needs. And, she finds herself

drawn to the sexy, confident architect and owner. Until she learns

about the previous tenant: Emma Matthews. This is a smart, psycho-

logical thriller that spins one woman’s seemingly good fortune, and

another woman’s mysterious fate. Enjoy the ride!

DARK MATTER:

A Novel

Technically the top staff

pick for our ENTIRE

department, this is a

brilliantly mind-bending

science-fiction thriller in

which an ordinary man

is kidnapped, knocked unconscious—and

awakens in a world inexplicably different from

the reality he thought he knew. Perfect for book clubs with its thought-

provoking theme of what happens when we make one choice overanother. And my favorite part was the heart wrenching struggle of our

everyman hero, Jason, to return to his beloved wife and son. From the

author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, this will be one of the

most buzzed about books of the season!
