A Crime Novel with Catherine Sayler

Chloe Dorn is missing. The sixteen-year-old was there, in the Stanford Cactus Garden, the night of the murder. She saw something, knows something. Now she's running for her life. A young man is dead, killed in a particularly bizarre and frightening way. The cops find the body, neatly laid out with hands crossed on his chest, two puncture wounds to the neck, his blood drained. Either a cult is at work, or a cunning killer has taken a vampire game too far. Vampire games permeate this case, as private investigator Catherine Sayler soon discovers when she's called in both to search for a computer programmer who has disappeared and to help find Chloe. Chloe Dorn had a fascination with vampires, and she knew Matt Demming. Together, they were part of an LARP, a Live Action Role-Playing game, in which human beings play the role of vampires and the city streets become the game board. Chloe and Matt played the game the night they disappeared. Matt, Catherine soon learns, is the victim who was killed in the Cactus Garden. Catapulted into a high-profile case, where the cops, the media, and Chloe's outraged pastor are screaming "cults", Catherine plays for time as she enlists her niece Molly, her lover Peter, and her partner Jesse in her search for the truth, and, even more urgently, for Chloe.

Winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction In the spring of 1946, Evelyn Sert stands on the deck of a ship bound for Palestine. For the twenty-year-old from London, it is a time of adventure and change when all things seem possible. Swept up in the spirited, chaotic churning of her new, strange country, she joins a kibbutz, then moves on to the teeming metropolis of Tel Aviv, to find her own home and a group of friends as eccentric and disparate as the city itself. She falls in love with a man who is not what he seems when she becomes an unwitting spy for a nation fighting to be born. When I Lived in Modern Times is "an unsentimental coming-of-age story of both a country and a young immigrant . . . that provides an unforgettable glimpse of a time and place rarely observed" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

A Novel

An "epic and marvelously entertaining" family saga by award-winning author Linda Grant about the European Jewish experience from WWI to the present day, that "constantly moves forward even as it looks sorrowfully back" (Financial Times). It's 1913 when Mina, the young and carefree daughter of a Jewish merchant, roams into a forest on the edge of the Baltic Sea looking for mushrooms. Instead, she encounters a gang of unruly, charismatic Bolsheviks--an adventure that will become the stuff of familial lore for generations to come. Intending to save her from further corruption, and in an act that forever changes the trajectory of their family's life, Mina and her eldest brother, Jossel, board a ship to England. There the threat of a different war looms large. When WWI hits, Jossel is sent to the front, where he keeps a severely wounded soldier in his unit alive 'til morning by telling him tales--including that his sister Mina will marry him if he survives. The soldier lives and asks for Mina's hand, their marriage uniting two growing trade dynasties. But over time Mina and Jossel will learn that not everyone in their family has survived the wars and pogroms, even as they and their offspring struggle to build new lives in Liverpool in the midst of ever-shifting discriminations. Based on the author's own family history and legends, The Story of the Forest is a remarkable record of family lore; a meditation on the power of stories to ground us, particularly in the face of life's inevitable losses, told with a keen wit and a sharp eye to the charms and the foibles of family by masterful British novelist Linda Grant.

The Art of Adornment, the Pleasures of Shopping, and Why Clothes Matter

“You can’t have depths without surfaces,” says Linda Grant in her lively and provocative new book, The thoughtful Dresser, a thinking woman’s guide to what we wear. For centuries, an interest in clothes has been dismissed as the trivial pursuit of vain, empty-headed women. Yet, clothes matter, whether you are interested in fashion or not, because how we choose to dress defines who we are. How we look and what we wear tells a story. Some stories are simple, like the teenager trying to fit in, or the woman turning fifty renouncing invisibility. Some are profound, like that of the immigrant who arrives in a new country and works to blend in by changing the way she dresses, or of the woman whose hat saved her life in Nazi Germany. The Thoughtful Dresser celebrates the pleasure of adornment and is an elegant meditation on our relationship with what we wear and the significance of clothes as the most intimate but also public expressions of our identity.
