Not since Stephen King's Overlook has a hotel hiding a secret been brought to such vivid life." —Lydia Kiesling, author of The Golden State Told by an unforgettable chorus of Sikorsky family members—a matriarch, a hotel maid, a traveling comedian, the hotel detective, and many others—The Hotel Neversink is the gripping portrait of a Jewish family in the Catskills over the course of a century. With an unerring eye and with prose both comic and tragic, Adam O’Fallon-Price details one man’s struggle for greatness, no matter the cost, and a long-held family secret that threatens to undo it all. (Tin House Books) The Shadow King“A brilliant novel, lyrically lifting history towards myth. It’s also compulsively readable.” — Salman Rushdie In this extraordinary, beautifully told epic, Hirut overcomes rape, violence, and imprisonment, finding the strength to fight for her country’s freedom and her own. Maaza Mengiste breathes life into complicated characters on both sides of the battle line, shaping a searing story of ordinary women and the advanced army they courageously opposed. Set against the first real conflict of World War II, The Shadow King is a heartrending, indelible exploration of what it means to be a woman at war.

Key Titles for JuneI'll post the highlights below. Please click through for a complete catalog with more information on each title. And Another Thing...Michael Lewis has started a podcast! If you like his books, you'll also be interested in his storytelling and interviews on the new podcast, Against the Rules. You might hear from me again this month, since I seem to have skipped the month of April (though I'm sure you're too polite to point it out). I'm also planning to send out our first Childrens/Teen librarian focused newsletter later this month, featuring books from Norton Young Readers (with an ARC giveaway), Thames & Hudson and Tilbury House. You can subscribe to that newsletter list here. That newsletter will be quarterly, rather than monthly. Thanks for reading, Golda Rademacher, Library Sales & Marketing Director |
