Whidbey


'In the realm of Patricia Highsmith and Gone Girl' Chelsea Bieker'A masterpiece' Carmen Maria Machado----You want to know who did it, but that was never the question. Or, it was never the right one. Birdie Chang doesn't know much about Whidbey Island, only that it is far. On the ferry, she has an unnerving encounter with a stranger, where she finds herself telling him everything: how she was sexually abused as a child, how the perpetrator now walks free, how the calls and emails from him haven't stopped and she is on the run; how she wants to kill him. The stranger poses a shocking question - if she agrees, he will murder the man who hurt her, with no strings attached. She gives him a name. On the other side of the country, Mary-Beth receives a phone call from the police: her only son has been murdered. What follows is a complex story of three women connected through one man: Birdie, a woman on the run from her past and her abuser; Mary-Beth, the abuser's loving mother; and Linzie, a former reality star turned bestselling memoirist, and another victim of the same man. Whidbey is a gripping whodunnit and a searingly perceptive and astonishingly original novel that asks the crucial question of who has real power over a story: the one who lives it, or the one who tells i? omen are rarely in receipt of what they are owed. ----Readers love Whidbey:'One of the best things I've read in recent memory' ?This is one of the best books I've read in my life' ?

Travel Light


A REDISCOVERED FANTASY CLASSIC - INTRODUCED BY SAMANTHA SHANNON''No one knows better how to spin a fairy tale than Naomi Mitchison'' OBSERVER''I felt, very powerfully, that I had been waiting for Travel Light'' AMAL EL-MOHTAR, author of THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR''Disarmingly familiar, like a memory only half-recalled. You will love this book'' HOLLY BLACK, author of BOOK OF NIGHT''Perhaps her nurse turned into a bear and carried her away into the forest. Perhaps she was brought up by bears and dragons. Perhaps it was better for her in the end than being a king''s child.''''That was never the story,'' said Modolf. ''Forget the story,'' said Halla. Halla is the daughter of a king, cast out as a baby into a world of danger and enchantment. She is raised by bears, lives as a dragon, converses with Valkyries and avoids troublesome heroes. But the time of myth is passing, and Odin All-Father offers Halla a choice: will she stay dragonish and hoard wealth and possessions, or will she travel light?Weaving folklore, fairy tale and Norse myth into a shimmering, witty and slyly subversive tapestry, Travel Light is a rediscovered gem of classic fantasy writing - perfect for fans of Tolkien, Philip Pullman and Ursula K. Le Guin.
