Happy Belated #BookBday (2/17/16 Edition)

We’re a day late to wish these new releases a happy #BookBday, but it’s only to keep the party going:

HIDE by Matthew Griffin
A March 2016 Indie Next pick and an ABA Indies Introduce Winter/Spring 2016 selection! Griffin’s forceful debut novel examines the lives of two men who meet and fall in love in North Carolina shortly after the end of World War II. “A bittersweet portrait of love in the shadows.” — Booklist, starred review

WE’VE ALREADY GONE THIS FAR by Patrick Dacey
An ABA Indies Introduce Winter/Spring 2016 selection! “In this debut collection, Dacey offers 13 interlocking stories documenting the lives, loves, and trials of the citizens of Wequaquet, Massachusetts. Readers will find this set of mournful, biting, and resonant tales united not only by geography but also by Dacey’s deep humanity towards his flawed characters.” — Booklist

WHAT LIES BETWEEN US by Nayomi Munaweera
A BuzzFeed Books 2016 Pick! From the award-winning author of ISLAND OF A THOUSAND MIRRORS comes the confession of a woman, driven by the demons of her past to commit a single and possibly unforgivable crime. “Writing with the same tantalizing prose that captured readers in her debut novel, Munaweera explores the relationship of mothers and daughters, tradition, honor, and sacrifice, with beautiful and devastating results.” — Booklist, starred review
