Description

I Thought You Were Dead by Peter Nelson (Algonquin Books, $23.95, 9781565125971) "Dante may have had his Beatrice, but Paul Gustavson has Stella, a venerable pooch who is his guiding light for matters of the mind and heart. Their ongoing dialogue is smart, sweet, and poignant, and together they take on their fears of thunderstorms and seedy bars (hers) and normal, loving relationships without the buffer of alcohol (his), each bringing out the best in each other. This book is clever, heartwarming, and engaging." -- Emily Crowe, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano (Viking Adult, $25.95, 9780670021482) "Childhood traumas have shattered Alice and Mattia physically and psychologically. A friendship that begins in high school provides for each an anchor to a world too frightening to navigate alone. In this singular and striking debut, Giordano explores the ability of the human spirit to endure and to heal. Once you pick this up, you won't want to put it down." -- Jennie Turner-Collins, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Cincinnati, OH Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War by Karl Marlantes (Atlantic Monthly Press, $24.95, 9780802119285) "Every war has produced seminal fiction, but in the case of Vietnam there have been few examples. Marlantes now increases that list with a towering, majestic novel of men in combat. Like all great literature, his work transcends a particular war because of the universality of his characters and themes. This is a novel that will endure." -- Bill Cusumano, Nicola's Books, Ann Arbor, MI The Tale of Halcyon Crane by Wendy Webb (Holt, $15, 9780805091403) "Ghosts, seances, and an unsolved murder are brought together on a remote island in the middle of the Great Lakes. Hallie James, who thought her mother died in a fire decades earlier, has discovered she was alive--until recently. Hallie's father's last words in answer to why he staged their deaths were, 'I had to save my little girl.' From what or whom? A gothic thriller with a modern twist." -- Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books and Hobbies, Oscoda, MI Bite Me: A Love Story by Christopher Moore (William Morrow, $23.99, 9780061779725) "While possibly the last of Moore's vampire series, his signature wit is still in full force. Moore perfectly captures the voice of the teenage Goth-girl Abby Normal and pulls off his mix of comedy with a real emotional core with his usual mastery. This is a perfect book for longtime fans and new readers." -- Mike Burns, Howard's Bookstore, Bloomington, IN Secret Daughter: A Novel by Shilpi Somaya Gowda (William Morrow, $23.99, 9780061922312) "Secret Daughter is the story of Asha, a daughter given up by her rural Indian mother in an attempt to give her a better life. Somer, Asha's adoptive mother in California, grapples with her daughter's return to her birth country as a young woman.The two families, intertwined by a twist of fate, will capture your heart." -- Caitlin Doggart, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Chatham, MA A Murderous Procession by Ariana Franklin (Putnam Adult, $25.95, 9780399156281) "Adelia is back in this fourth (and my favorite!) installment of the Mistress of the Art of Death series.
