Publishers have been saving some real winners for next month--new titles by some of our patrons' favorite authors, guaranteed to please!
Heads You Win, by Jeffrey Archer. After his father is assassinated by the KGB in 1968, teenager Alexander Karpenko flips a coin to decide where he and his mother should immigrate: New York or London. What follows is both versions of what might have happened depending on that flip. Sort of a Sliding Doors meets coming-of-age tale, resulting in a fun and fast-paced novel. Also available in Large Print.
Nine Perfect Strangers, by Liane Moriarty. Can ten days at a health resort really change your life? Nine strangers are about to find out. Some have come to the remote Tranquillium House to lose weight, others to reboot their lives after personal and/or professional setbacks. For a former best-selling romance novelist, the character that most intrigues her is the charismatic and eccentric owner and director of the resort. What she and the other guests will be asking before their stay is over is: should they surrender to the process or should they run while they still can? This latest by Moriarty (Big Little Lies, etc.) is perfect for readers seeking a wickedly smart page-turner.
Tony's Wife, by Adriana Trigiani. It's the 1940s and Chi Chi Donatelli and Saverio Armandonada fall in love over the course of one perfect summer at the Jersey Shore. Both dream of singing with greats like Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman, but after they marry, the question arises: which of them will put aside their dreams in order to raise a family? Trigiani is a huge reader sweetheart with past favorites like The Shoemaker's Wife and Lucia, Lucia--I highly recommend placing your request now!
