Book excerpt: A high-spirited humorous look at a special land, and the challenges of living in a remote region with more trees than people, long winters and two-track roads.

Book excerpt: From the Golden PEN Award–winning author: A “well-written, entertaining” dark comedy of a marriage on the rocks in 1960s London (Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times). Emma and David Evans seem to have a perfect life. He’s a handsome and successful Welsh actor; she’s a sometimes model, soon-to-be television news anchor, and full-time mother. But all is not well under the surface. She’s impatient and choked by domesticity; he’s narcissistic and unfaithful. Between the two of them is a privately combative marriage that has fed their want of drama. Then David relocates the family from their London home to provincial Hereford, where he’s to star in two plays during the city’s festival season. It’s here, far removed from the highbrow stimulation of the city, that Emma’s resentment of David—his long hours, his expectations, his ego—finally boils over. Bored and lonely, she falls into the arms of the theater’s director, an indiscretion that triggers a series of surprises neither Emma nor David could have foreseen. Narrated by a complicated, fascinating, and fiercely intelligent woman at the end of her rope, The Garrick Year is “a witty, beautiful novel . . . written with extraordinary art” (The New York Times). “[A] romantic novel about actors and the theatre and marriage and sex and babies . . . deliciously bitter . . . so alive.” —The New Yorker “Unsparing . . . a very knowing, diverting entertainment.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: This noir classic by an Edgar Award winner delves into the mind of a criminal: “Close to the perfect psycho thriller . . . a relentless dance of death tempo.” —The New York Times With innovative style far ahead of its time, this novel follows Joe Bailey, perched precariously on the fence between two lives. He’s seeing a good-hearted girl who holds the promise of a comfortably content, if uneventful, future.

Haunted by a childhood rhyme and accompanying trauma, Bailey wrestles with his demons, in this psychologically complex tale with a shocking twist by an award-winning author praised as “a natural storyteller” (The New York Times Book Review).
