Sneak Peek: March 2022 Indie Next List

The March 2022 Indie Next list features 3 Macmillan titles!

NEVER SIMPLE by Liz Scheier
ISBN 9781250823137 | on sale 3/1/22

“Scheier, a PW contributor, debuts with a stunning and generous account of living with her mother’s mental illness…strikingly, compassion trumps anger: ‘I loved her smoky cackle and her jokes…her whole-body storytelling,’ she writes. ‘Now that I have my own children, I see how much of her best my mother did.’ Readers will find it hard to part with this one.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

PURE COLOUR by Sheila Heti
ISBN 9780374603946 | on sale 2/15/22

“In this quietly provoking and unusual novel from Heti (MOTHERHOOD, 2018), Mira processes the loss of her father in light of the dissolution of another love…Mixing the spiritual, philosophical, and mundane, Heti’s out-of-the-ordinary approach nonetheless yields familiar feelings about hope and the universality of art.”–Booklist

THE GOLDEN COUPLE by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen
ISBN 9781250273208 | on sale 3/8/22

“Already on edge after making a whistleblower call to the FDA concerning a pharmaceutical company’s malfeasance, the recent widow starts to experience unsettling events, like what looks to be a professional break-in of her home, around the time she begins treating lawyer Matthew Bishop and his wife, boutique owner Marissa. Avery senses there’s much more going on with this power couple than their stated infidelity issue…. [T]he authors keep the pages turning. This one represents a return toward the high standard of their early nail-biters.”–Publishers Weekly
