About the book
In the peatlands of northwest England, a body surfaces from the bog. Preserved for more than two thousand years, she should be dust, yet her face still stares back.
Forensic anthropologist Agnes is brought in to investigate, but science alone cannot explain what she finds. The Iron Age woman buried in the bog feels unsettlingly close, as if her story reaches across centuries.
The discovery sparks conflict in the present. Developers want profit, activists demand preservation, and the bog itself seems to guard its own secrets. As Agnes digs deeper, the past bleeds into her life, forcing her to question her gift, her independence, and her identity.
Can she bring justice to the woman in the bog, or will the land consume them both?

About the book
Shelby Richmond was an ordinary Long Island teenager until one tragic night rewrote her life. Her best friend’s future was destroyed in a single accident, while Shelby survived—left with guilt, grief, and a heart she no longer recognizes.
As she stumbles through the aftermath, Shelby pulls away from love, from her family, from any sense of hope. Chinese takeout, stray dogs, and the wrong men become her companions in place of a future she can’t yet imagine. But New York City brings unexpected connections: a circle of lost souls, a chance at healing, and the presence of an angel who’s been with her since that icy night.
In Faithful, Alice Hoffman spins beauty from sorrow in a moving story of survival, love, and the long road back to yourself.

Before Salem, there was Margaret Jones.
The First Witch of Boston
Historical Fiction · Romance · Women's Fiction
Our take
Before Salem, there was Margaret Jones. In The First Witch of Boston, Andrea Catalano reimagines the life of the first woman convicted of witchcraft in seventeenth-century Massachusetts, turning court records and diary entries into a deeply human story of love, suspicion, and survival. As Margaret’s skill as a healer and her outspoken nature make her a target in a rigid Puritan community, the novel builds into a tense, heartbreaking portrait of how quickly fear can turn cruel.

About the book
2025 Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Readers’ Favorite Historical Fiction
A gripping and intimate novel based on the true story of Margaret Jones, the first woman to be found guilty of witchcraft in seventeenth-century Massachusetts.
Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1646. Thomas and Margaret Jones arrive from England to build a life in the New World. Though of differing temperaments, cautious Thomas and fiery Margaret, a healer, are bound by a love that has lasted decades. With a child on the way, their new beginning promises only blessings.
But in this austere Puritan community, comely faces hide malicious intent. Wrong moves or words are met with suspicion, and Margaret’s bold and unguarded nature draws scorn. Soon, Margaret is mistrusted as more cunning woman than kind caregiver. And when personal tragedies, religious hysteria, and wariness of the unknown turn most against her, even the devotion Margaret and her husband share is at risk.
Inspired by actual diary entries and court records, The First Witch of Boston is at once the riveting story of a woman unjustly accused and a love story set amid the political and social turmoil of both Old and New England. Harrowing, and with a deep understanding of the human heart, history is brilliantly imagined.

"A beautifully written novel that puts language at the heart of remembering the past and understanding the present."—Kate Morton
"A groundbreaking novel for black and white Australia."—Richard Flanagan, Man Booker Prize winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North
A young Australian woman searches for her grandfather's dictionary, the key to halting a mining company from destroying her family's home and ancestral land in this exquisitely written, heartbreaking, yet hopeful novel of culture, language, tradition, suffering, and empowerment in the tradition of Louise Erdrich, Sandra Cisneros, and Amy Harmon.
Knowing that he will soon die, Albert "Poppy" Gondiwindi has one final task he must fulfill. A member of the indigenous Wiradjuri tribe, he has spent his adult life in Prosperous House and the town of Massacre Plains, a small enclave on the banks of the Murrumby River. Before he takes his last breath, Poppy is determined to pass on the language of his people, the traditions of his ancestors, and everything that was ever remembered by those who came before him. The land itself aids him; he finds the words on the wind.
After his passing, Poppy's granddaughter, August, returns home from Europe, where she has lived the past ten years, to attend his burial. Her overwhelming grief is compounded by the pain, anger, and sadness of memory—of growing up in poverty before her mother's incarceration, of the racism she and her people endured, of the mysterious disappearance of her sister when they were children; an event that has haunted her and changed her life. Her homecoming is bittersweet as she confronts the love of her kin and news that Prosperous is to be repossessed by a mining company. Determined to make amends and honor Poppy and her family, she vows to save their land—a quest guided by the voice of her grandfather that leads into the past, the stories of her people, the secrets of the river.
Told in three masterfully woven narratives, The Yield is a celebration of language and an exploration of what makes a place "home." A story of a people and a culture dispossessed, it is also a joyful reminder of what once was and what endures—a powerful reclaiming of Indigenous language, storytelling, and identity, that offers hope for the future.
