<p>A taut and electrifying novel from celebrated bestselling author Lauren Groff, about one spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive </p><p>"Lauren Groff just reinvented the adventure novel."-- Los Angeles Times </p><p>"Glorioussurroundings come alive in prose that lives and breathes upon the page." -- Boston Globe </p><p>"I know of few other writers whose sentences are so beautiful and so propulsive." -- New York Times Book Review </p><p>A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief in everything that her own civilization has taught her.</p><p>Lauren Groff's new novel is at once a thrilling adventure story and a penetrating fable about trying to find a new way of living in a world succumbing to the churn of colonialism. The Vaster Wilds is a work of raw and prophetic power that tells the story of America in miniature, through one girl at a hinge point in history, to ask how-and if-we can adapt quickly enough to save ourselves. </p>

<p>Demon Copperhead is a once-in-a-generation novel that breaks and mends your heart in the way only the best fiction can. Demon&apos;s story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking &apos;like a little blue prizefighter.&apos; For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn&apos;t an idea, it&apos;s as natural as the grass grows. For a generation growing up in this world, at the heart of the modern opioid crisis, addiction isn&apos;t an abstraction, it&apos;s neighbours, parents, and friends. &apos;Family&apos; could mean love, or reluctant foster care. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he&apos;s willing to travel to try and get there. Suffused with truth, anger and compassion, Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between.</p>

<p>John Irving, one of the world&apos;s greatest novelists, returns with his first novel in seven years - a ghost story, a love story, and a lifetime of sexual politics. In Aspen, Colorado, in 1941, Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray, as she is called, finishes nowhere near the podium, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home, in New England, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son, Adam, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later, looking for answers, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome, where he was conceived, Adam will meet some ghosts; in The Last Chairlift, they aren&apos;t the first or the last ghosts he sees. John Irving has written some of the most acclaimed books of our time - among them, The World According to Garp and The Cider House Rules. A visionary voice on the subject of sexual tolerance, Irving is a bard of alternative families. In The Last Chairlift, readers will once more be in his thrall.</p>

<p><b>AN INSTANT #1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER! </b></p><p><b>Named a Most Anticipated book of 2024 by TIME  <i>The New York Times</i>  Goodreads  Entertainment Weekly  Today  Paste  SheReads BookPage  Woman's World  The Nerd Daily and more! </b></p><p><b>A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Emily Henry.</b></p><p>Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling itright up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. </p><p>  Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children's librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.</p><p>  Scruffy and chaotic-with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads-Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she's either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?</p><p>  But it's all just for show, of course, because there's no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé's new fiancée's exright?</p>
