 stock image, actual book may vary TOO LATE THE PHALAROPE is set in South Africa, as well as its predecessor, CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY. And like that earlier novel, TOO LATE THE PHALAROPE uses the lives of ordinary people to illustrate the inhuman quality of South African apartheid. Racial segregation is odious in concept, impossible in application. To prove it, Paton tells us the story of Pieter, a white policeman, who has an affair with a native girl. He is betrayed and reported, and thus brings shame on himself and his family.

 stock image, actual book may vary The 1990s Newport Beach, California. Money is God. A man s worth is judged by the size of his boat, the make of his car. A woman s value is assessed by the blank perfection of her quantifiable desirability: dress size, cup size, the whiteness of her teeth. And oh yes: her youth. Though Esther Wilson, the heroine of Victoria Patterson s debut novel, has the looks to marry well, things aren t going as planned. She s nearing her mid-30s and possibly aging out of the only role she s equipped to play: wife to a powerful member of the elite. In the tradition of Edith Wharton and Henry James, This Vacant Paradise recasts the important questions about our very American obsessions: class, caste, race, age, and the roles of men and women in our drive toward an ever more lofty sense of our upward mobility. Victoria Patterson, author of the story collection Drift , a Story Prize and California Book Award finalist, gives us a novel of such rigor and complexity that it feels too masterful to be her first. Like ZZ Packer or Robert Stone, Patterson s prose is at once wickedly entertaining and searingly intelligent.

 stock image, actual book may vary I present to you . . . the truth about this man s death and my life. Baltimore, 1849. The body of Edgar Allan Poe has been buried in an unmarked grave. The public, the press, and even Poe s own family and friends accept the conclusion that Poe was a second-rate writer who met a disgraceful end as a drunkard. Everyone, in fact, seems to believe this except a young Baltimore lawyer named Quentin Clark, an ardent admirer who puts his own career and reputation at risk in a passionate crusade to salvage Poe s. As Quentin explores the puzzling circumstances of Poe s demise, he discovers that the writer s last days are riddled with unanswered questions the police are possibly willfully ignoring. Just when Poe s death seems destined to remain a mystery, and forever sealing his ignominy, inspiration strikes Quentin in the form of Poe s own stories. The young attorney realizes that he must find the one person who can solve the strange case of Poe s death: the real-life model for Poe s brilliant fictional detective character, C. Auguste Dupin, the hero of ingenious tales of crime and detection. In short order, Quentin finds himself enmeshed in sinister machinations involving political agents, a female assassin, the corrupt Baltimore slave trade, and the lost secrets of Poe s final hours. With his own future hanging in the balance, Quentin Clark must turn master investigator himself to unchain his now imperiled fate from that of Poe s. Following his phenomenal debut novel, The Dante Club, Matthew Pearl has once again crossed pitch-perfect literary history with innovative mystery to create a beautifully detailed, ingeniously plotted tale of suspense. Pearl s groundbreaking research featuring documented material never published before opens a new window on the truth behind Poe s demise, literary history s most persistent enigma. The resulting novel is a publishing event that, through sublime craftsmanship, subtle wit, and devious twists, does honor to Poe himself

Everyone has to bring a dessert and a bottle of wine, but this year, it s their stories that are especially important. Marnie s oldest daughter has a risky pregnancy. Jeannie s father is having an affair with her best friend. Taylor s life is in financial freefall. Rosie s husband doesn t want children, and she has to decide, very soon, the fate of her marriage. On this evening, at least, they can feel as a group the impulses of sisterly love and conflict, the passion and hopefulness of a new romance, the betrayal and disillusionment some relationships bring, the joys and fears of motherhood, the agony of losing a child, and above all, the love they have for one another. As Marnie says, the Christmas Cookie Club, if it s anything, is a remind
