About the book
“Setterfield’s prose feels lifted from another era, a gothic lyricism resembling old classics like Jane Eyre.” —Entertainment Weekly
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Tale comes a “swift and entrancing, profound and beautiful” (Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe) novel about how we explain the world to ourselves, ourselves to others, and the meaning of our lives in a universe that remains impenetrably mysterious.
On a dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the river Thames, an extraordinary event takes place. The regulars are telling stories to while away the dark hours, when the door bursts open on a grievously wounded stranger. In his arms is the lifeless body of a small child. Hours later, the girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? Or can science provide an explanation? These questions have many answers, some of them quite dark indeed.
Those who dwell on the river bank apply all their ingenuity to solving the puzzle of the girl who died and lived again, yet as the days pass the mystery only deepens. The child herself is mute and unable to answer the essential questions: Who is she? Where did she come from? And to whom does she belong? But answers proliferate nonetheless.
Three families are keen to claim her. A wealthy young mother knows the girl is her kidnapped daughter, missing for two years. A farming family reeling from the discovery of their son’s secret liaison stand ready to welcome their granddaughter. The parson’s housekeeper, humble and isolated, sees in the child the image of her younger sister. But the return of a lost child is not without complications and no matter how heartbreaking the past losses, no matter how precious the child herself, this girl cannot be everyone’s. Each family has mysteries of its own, and many secrets must be revealed before the girl’s identity can be known.
Once Upon a River is a glorious tapestry of a book that combines folklore and science, magic and myth. Suspenseful, romantic, and richly atmospheric, this is “a beguiling tale, full of twists and turns like the river at its heart, and just as rich and intriguing” (M.L. Stedman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Light Between Oceans).

Caroline Reynolds has it all—an amazing apartment, a dream job, and the world’s best cat. The only thing missing? Her O. And to make matters worse, her new neighbor, Simon Parker, has an overactive social life that keeps her up all night. Moans, bangs, and—was that a meow?

About the book
"A lovely writer, far superior to the average memoirist. . . . A curious mind, a perceptive observer with an artist's eye, a seeker of truth and beauty." —Irish Independent
From the moment I crossed the mountain, I fell in love with the place, which was more beautiful than any I'd ever seen. And with a way of looking at life that was deeper, richer and wiser than any I'd known before. . . . From the first day I came here I always knew I'd come back.
Sometimes we have to go back to our beginnings to become the person we want to be. More than a decade ago, USA Today–bestselling author Felicity Hayes-McCoy left the hectic pace of London and returned to her home country of Ireland to forge a new life in a remarkable house on the stunning Dingle peninsula. Gorgeously written, this is a life-affirming tale of rediscovering lost values and remembering the things that matter most.
"Wise, funny and touching, this book is a portrait of friendships, customs and folklore of Ireland; but what stays with you is harder to catch, like smoke or running water. It is the taste of something we all once knew, ever-present if only you look for it." ―Joanna Lumley, actress and author of Absolutely: A Memoir
"The book glowed . . . when I finished reading, I felt a sense of well-being, wonder and delight." —Alice Taylor, bestselling author of To School Through the Fields
"A pitch-perfect delight." —Marian Keyes, international bestselling author of Grown Ups on The Transatlantic Book Club
"The spot-on descriptions of Ireland's country roads and expansive sky all but leap off the page. . . . Maeve Binchy and Patrick Taylor fans will find much to enjoy." —Booklist on The Library at the Edge of the World
"Sunshine on the page." —Cathy Kelly, bestselling author of Between Sisters on The Month of Borrowed Dreams

About the book
From the New York Times–bestselling author of Outer Banks, a Southern woman's life is forever changed by the betrayal of her mother and the man she loves.
Growing up, the only place tomboy Thayer Wentworth felt at home was at her summer camp - Camp Sherwood Forest in the North Carolina Mountains. It was there that she came alive and where she met Nick Abrams, her first love . . .and first heartbreak. Years later, Thayer marries Aengus, an Irish professor, and they move into her deceased grandmother's house in Atlanta, only miles from Camp Edgewood on Burnt Mountain where her father died years ago in a car accident. There, Aengus and Thayer lead quiet and happy lives until Aengus is invited up to the camp to tell old Irish tales to the campers. As Aengus spends less time at home and becomes more distant, Thayer must confront dark secrets—about her mother, her first love, and, most devastating of all, her husband.
"Siddons mixes in a touch of the supernatural to bring the novel to an exciting climax, but what's most appealing here is the layered family drama and the lush world Thayer inhabits." —Booklist
"One doesn't read Anne Rivers Siddons's books, one dwells in them." —Chicago Tribune
"Bravura writing." —Stephen King
"Siddons is at her usual incisive best at skewering the mores of socially pretentious Southerners, and her prose is limpid and mesmerizing." —Kirkus Reviews

A DEA contractor.
Chasing Safe Harbor
LGBTQIA+ · Romance
Our take
A DEA contractor. A small-town architect. A moment that changes everything. When Michael witnesses something strange off the California coast, he unwittingly becomes tangled in Thorsen Magnus’s undercover investigation—and in his arms. But in a town where secrets don’t stay hidden, their growing attraction might be as dangerous as the case itself.
Choose your retailer
About the book
DEA contractor Thorsen Magnus never wanted to return to the small town he left behind—especially not with his estranged father still there. But duty calls, and his latest assignment brings him back to the place he swore he’d never return. What he didn’t expect was Michael Constantine.
Michael has spent his life trying—and failing—to live up to his father’s expectations. When a moment of solitude on the cliffs turns into a near fall into Thor’s arms, he finds himself drawn into something far more dangerous than family drama.
Thor needs answers. Michael has them. As their attraction intensifies, so do the risks, and when the case brings them closer to home than either expected, they’ll have to decide—trust each other, or risk losing everything.
