A Novel

One of Literary Hub’s ‘Most Anticipated Books of 2025’ One of the BBC’s ’40 Most Exciting Books to Read in 2025’ Remember—words are your weapons, they’re your tools, your currency: a twisty, slippery descent into the rhetoric of power. “Original, vital, and unputdownable.”—Tess Gunty, National Book Award–winning author of The Rabbit Hutch Late one night on a Yorkshire farm, in the midst of an illegal rave, a young man is nearly bludgeoned to death with a solid gold bar. An ambitious young journalist sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the attack, connecting the dots between an amoral banker landlord, an iconoclastic newspaper columnist, and a radical anarchist movement that has taken up residence on the farm. She solves the mystery, but her viral exposé raises more questions than it answers. Through a voyeuristic lens, and with a simmering power, Universality focuses on words: what we say, how we say it, and what we really mean. A thrilling novel from one of the most acclaimed young novelists working today, Universality is a compelling, unsettling celebration of the spectacular, appalling force of language. It dares you to look away.

What do an ex-FBI agent and an ex-exotic dancer have in common? Missing Exes! The latest thriller from the author of Cuban Contraband. Jana Wilson and her boyfriend Rey have drifted apart. When he and their yacht, the Miss Jana, disappear, the police say he took off to get away from her. "He'll show up one day," they said.

Frustrated with the police response, Jana reaches out to Alexander Christian, a part-time private detective and full-time beachcomber, who helped her out of a previous jam. With nothing more than an empty boat slip to go on, Alexander investigates the disappearance of the Miss Jana and discovers that she is headed for the Caribbean. When South America becomes a likely destination, he recruits the one person he knows who speaks Spanish-his ex-girlfriend-who wants nothing to do with him. Together, the unlikely trio of an ex-FBI agent, an ex-prostitute, and an ex-stripper race against time to save Rey and thwart the hijackers' plans.

Never read, smoke free home. A pop exploded next to it, so there are slight stains but they do not soak into the pages or into the book. 

"A stunning tale." --Booklist, STARRED review for How to Be Remembered For readers of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will have you smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning: If you knew when someone was going to die...would you tell them? Family doctor Charlie Knight is in his late thirties, still playing tennis against the same people every Friday night. Still jogging the same streets every morning. Still treating the same patients every day--fixing the high blood pressure and arthritic knees of folks who've known him since he was a kid. But Charlie has a secret plan to escape. A plan to live the life he wants, even if the woman he was meant to do it with has left him behind. But then Genevieve Longstaff comes back to their hometown, just as something extraordinary happens. Charlie begins to have a vision of the exact number of days a person has left until they die. Charlie believes it's a gift. It certainly seems like one--after all, he's using it to help his patients, family and friends make the most of their lives: to mend relationships, to travel, to retire. But this gift comes with awful consequences, and soon Charlie realizes there are things he doesn't want to know--especially about the woman he still loves.

Nicola Slawson

Living a Complete Life on Your Own Terms

An empowering, comforting, and honest exploration of single life, in all its facets In her thirties and single, journalist Nicola Slawson was sick of reading narratives about how all single women must be miserable and desperate. She wanted stories that reflected her experience, so she started The Single Supplement, a newsletter for single women that didn’t patronize them or assume that their only goal in life was finding a partner. The newsletter immediately took off, gaining thousands of followers and winning awards and features. Now Slawson is ready to cement everything she’s learned into a book. Using her personal experiences along with insights gleaned from years of interviews, Slawson offers us an open, witty, and warmhearted exploration of single life, taking an honest look at its challenges but just as keenly celebrating its joys. She writes about feeling left behind and navigating friendships as people get married and have children; managing personal finances, career, ambition, and self-reliance; deciding whether or not to be a single mother; dealing with the shame and stigma of being single; embracing the freedom and happiness that can be found in being single; and so much more. A vibrant life is within reach for all of us, with or without a partner. Whether you are single long term, recently, keen not to be, happy to be, considering becoming, voluntarily, involuntarily, and so on, Single is an optimistic companion, providing comfort, hope, and understanding to anyone who reads it. It is a reminder that you are not alone, you have what it takes to handle life’s challenges, and you deserve to squeeze as much joy as you can out of your life right now, instead of feeling like you’re waiting for it to start.

AD 878. Three mysterious figures board a Red Sea sailing vessel, , Dressed as Muslims they are in fact, Jews, far away from their home in Babylon. They are on a secret mission to transport precious cargo, on behalf of a powerful Jewish banking family. Adiva, clearly the leader, is accompanied by her brother and cousin. They seek the kind of adventure unavailable in their homeland. To their surprise, they are not the only passengers. Two Africans are aboard and they have their own reasons to keep to themselves. Adiva first notices the darker skinned man with piercing blue eyes. The attraction is clearly mutual. She is particularly intrigued when she realizes that they speak a form of Hebrew-- only known from the sacred texts-- and not Aramaic, the lingua franca of her world. The answer is startling. Adiva' s new friend, Eldad, explains: He is from the Hebrew tribe of Dan while Saul is from the neighboring tribe of Asher, both missing from history for well over a millennium. Eldad set out from his people determined to unravel the mystery of an ancient book, written in a lost language, which purportedly tells his family' s story back to the time of the Patriarch Abraham. Eldad' s passion to uncover his distant past is matched only by his eagerness to know Adiva better and pursue the magnetism that develops between them. A frightful storm threatens the objectives of both groups, wrecking the ship and marooning them all, with only a few dessert islands around to offer refuge. In a desperate fight for survival, Eldad and Adiva become separated, and while she risks herself attempting to escape from pirates and slavers, he must face cannibals, starvation, and captivity. A clever Jewish family provides the only glimmer of hope for Eldad to be redeemed and brought back to his people. Eldad the Danite is known to us as a historical figure, but only in broad outlines. It was left up to the author, Allen Childs, to brilliantly imagine the details of his adventure, illuminating the rich world and complex cultures that surround Eldad and Adiva. When they reach Adiva' s home, the center of the Jewish world in Baghdad, the rabbis there greet Eldad and his story with skepticism. He holds none of the rabbinic traditions that developed over time. Can Eldad convince them that he is of the same origin as they-- even if his tribe of Dan has been hidden and lost for well over a thousand years? And can he and Adiva find a way to join as one in marriage.

An American teen stranded in London is forced to team up with the British crown prince if she wants to make it back home before the end of the world in this delightfully rompy high-stakes rom-com.

Wren Wheeler has flown five thousand miles across the ocean to discover she's the worst kind of traveler: the kind who just wants to go home. Her senior-year trip to London was supposed to be life-changing, but by the last day, Wren's perfectly-planned itinerary is in tatters. There's only one item left to check off: breakfast at The World's End restaurant. The one thing she can still get right.

The restaurant is closed for renovations--of course--but there's a boy there, too. A very cute boy with a posh British accent who looks remarkably like the errant Prince Theo, on the run from the palace and his controlling mother. When Wren helps him escape a pack of tourists, the Prince scribbles down his number and offers her one favor in return. She doesn't plan to take him up on it--until she gets to the airport and sees cancelled flights and chaos. A comet is approaching Earth, and the world is ending in eight days. Suddenly, that favor could be her only chance to get home to her family before the end of the world.

Wren strikes a bargain with the runaway prince: if she'll be his bodyguard from London to his family's compound in Santorini, he can charter her a private jet home in time to say goodbye. Traveling through Europe by boat, train, and accidentally stolen automobile, Wren finds herself drawn to the dryly sarcastic, surprisingly vulnerable Theo. But the Prince has his own agenda, one that could derail both their plans. When life as they know it will be over in days, is it possible to find a happy ending?

The Young Woman Who Outwitted the Nazis and Became a WWII Hero

Movingly written by her own daughter, this captivating and intimate biography chronicles the astonishing courage Andrée Griotteray, a teenage girl in Nazi-occupied Paris who would become a hero of the French Resistance through her harrowing work as an underground intelligence courier. For readers of Three Ordinary Girls, A Woman of No Importance, Lis Parisiennes, The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line, and the many other untold stories of WWII’s “hidden figures.” Andrée Griotteray was just 19 when the Germans invaded France and occupied Paris, where she worked as a clerk in the passport office. When her younger brother, Alain, created a resistance network named Orion, Andrée joined his efforts, secretly typing up and printing copies of an underground newspaper, and stealing I.D. cards which allowed scores of Jewish citizens to escape persecution. Charming and pretty, Andrée nimbly avoided the unwanted attentions of German officers, even as she secretly began working as an undercover courier. Displaying fearlessness in the face of immense pressure, she traveled throughout the county delivering vital intelligence destined for France’s allies—until the day she was betrayed and arrested. Throughout her ordeal, Andrée stayed composed, refusing to inform on her comrades. Before she was set free, she even duped her interrogators into revealing who had betrayed Orion, and continued her underground activities until France’s liberation. Weaving in diary entries, letters, and conversations, Andrée’s daughter, Francelle, brings a uniquely personal slant to her mother’s story. The Paris Girl reveals the narrow escapes and moments of terror, the daily acts of bravery and defiance, and the extraordinary courage displayed by Andrée and so many of her contemporaries, that helped turned the tide of war.

William Deresiewicz

How Six Novels Taught Me about Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter

An eloquent memoir of a young man's life transformed by literature.

In A Jane Austen Education, Austen scholar William Deresiewicz turns to the author's novels to reveal the remarkable life lessons hidden within. With humor and candor, Deresiewicz employs his own experiences to demonstrate the enduring power of Austen's teachings. Progressing from his days as an immature student to a happily married man, Deresiewicz's A Jane Austen Education is the story of one man's discovery of the world outside himself.

A self-styled intellectual rebel dedicated to writers such as James Joyce and Joseph Conrad, Deresiewicz never thought Austen's novels would have anything to offer him. But when he was assigned to read Emma as a graduate student at Columbia, something extraordinary happened. Austen's devotion to the everyday, and her belief in the value of ordinary lives, ignited something in Deresiewicz. He began viewing the world through Austen's eyes and treating those around him as generously as Austen treated her characters. Along the way, Deresiewicz was amazed to discover that the people in his life developed the depth and richness of literary characters-that his own life had suddenly acquired all the fascination of a novel. His real education had finally begun.

Weaving his own story-and Austen's-around the ones her novels tell, Deresiewicz shows how her books are both about education and themselves an education. Her heroines learn about friendship and feeling, staying young and being good, and, of course, love. As they grow up, they learn lessons that are imparted to Austen's reader, who learns and grows by their sides.

A Jane Austen Education is a testament to the transformative power of literature, a celebration of Austen's mastery, and a joy to read. Whether for a newcomer to Austen or a lifelong devotee, Deresiewicz brings fresh insights to the novelist and her beloved works. Ultimately, Austen's world becomes indelibly entwined with our own, showing the relevance of her message and the triumph of her vision.
