THE WOMEN BY KRISTIN HANNAH
9781250178633 | 2/6/24

“Hannah continues her winning streak of compelling historical novels, capturing the tumultuous atmosphere of the 1960s and ’70s in a moving, gripping tale that pays tribute to the under-appreciated skill and courage of combat nurses… The unusual historical context for and focus of this one will stir up additional curiosity.”–Booklist, starred review

THE FOX WIFE BY YANGSZE CHOO
9781250266019 | 2/13/24

“In early 1900s Manchuria, aging detective Bao is enlisted to uncover the identity of a courtesan found frozen in a doorway… Elsewhere, a mysterious woman named Snow joins the household of a family whose eldest sons seem fated to die before age 24… These two seemingly disparate stories soon converge… Equal parts detective story, folktale, and family saga, the highly anticipated latest novel by Choo will appeal to fans of diverse, imaginative literary fiction.”–Booklist, starred review

FAMILY FAMILY BY LAURIE FRANKEL
9781250236807 | 1/23/24

“Frankel has written a funny, heart-wrenching, deeply personal story about the meaning of family and holding fast to one’s beliefs… India is the star of Frankel’s novel, but the supporting characters are warm and vibrant, each getting their own opportunity to shine. Highly recommended for fans of Frankel and those who enjoy literary fiction featuring witty dialogue and thought-provoking topics.”–Library Journal, starred review

WHAT FEASTS AT NIGHT BY T. KINGFISHER
9781250830852 | 2/13/24

“Moving away from the Edgar Allan Poe story that inspired the first entry in the series, this sequel offers more surprises and just as many moments that will haunt readers’ dreams. Kingfisher’s winning formula of creepy folklore, affable protagonists, familiar Gothic tropes, and truly unsettling horror imagery makes this sing.”–Publishers Weekly
