Personal Stakes

Fierce Protection

A man is murdered in the midst of a contentious divorce, and his estranged wife’s family is thrown into turmoil. Who is responsible? And why? Those are the questions Tova Mirvis asks in her fourth novel, We Would Never.

Just the Facts

Alternative Facts, the debut story collection by Emily Greenberg, is equal parts brilliant and bonkers as it interrogates the slippery thing we call truth. Greenberg will appear at Novel in Memphis on February 6.

Hot Collaboration

The debut romance novel from Tennessee writer Katie Holt, Not in My Book, is a steamy slow burn in which the two main characters write a romance novel together.

Infinite Little Island

In Playworld, novelist Adam Ross depicts a Manhattan teenager who ricochets between acting for television and bumbling in reality. Ross will discuss Playworld with Mayor Freddie O’Connell at Parnassus Books in Nashville on January 6.

Punching Hitler in the Mouth

“I am Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ Novis. … I am the candidate most likely to violate the Official Secrets Act. And I will be convicted of treason when I do.” Lizzie is half of the talented brother/sister team at the center of The Bletchley Riddle, a World War II novel for middle-grade readers by an equally talented team: award-winning writers Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin.
