“With a beckoning gentleness that belies the deeper philosophies at play, superb Irish author Williams (HISTORY OF THE RAIN, 2014) offers a lilting, magical homage to time and redemption, and a stirring, sentimental journey into the mysteries of love and the possibilities of friendship.”–Booklist, starred review
“The heart-expanding extremes of life—first love and last rites—are experienced by an unsettled young Dubliner spending one exceptional spring in a small Irish village…A story both little and large and one that pulls out all the Irish stops.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review
OVERTHROW: The War with China and North Korea–Fall of an Empire by David Poyer
“Horatio Hornblower fans won’t want to miss the latest chapter in this stirring saga.”–Publishers Weekly
