Author Selections
Lauren Belfer
And After the Fire
Harper
Belfer’s novel of sweeping historical scope and
searing personal discovery revolves around a
woman who discovers a mysterious masterpiece
by Johann Sebastian Bach. Yet her discovery is
only the latest chapter in a dramatic tale that
follows the anti-Jewish cantata’s journey through two hundred years of
history, from the eighteenth century through the Holocaust and into today, and
to the startling truth about her own past.
“Brilliant and mesmerizing. . . . Since reading And After the Fire, I’ve been
trumpeting it as the best novel I’ve had the pleasure of reading in years.” —
Elinor Lipman, author of Then She Found Me.
Elizabeth J. Church
The Atomic Weight of Love
Algonquin Books
This debut spans from World War II through the
Vietnam War to tell the story of a woman whose
ambition is caught up in her relationships with two
very different men. Meridian Wallace is determined
to get her PhD. But she didn’t expect to fall in love
with her brilliant physics professor. What began as an exciting, intellectual
partnership devolves into a traditional marriage. Years later, when Meridian
meets a Vietnam veteran, she realizes just how much she has given up.
“Church follows one extraordinary woman who is brave enough to challenge
the times, take defiant wing, and chart her own extraordinary flight path.” —
Caroline Leavitt, author of Is This Tomorrow.

Ellen Feldman
Terrible Virtue
Harper
Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood,
was a woman who shaped the sexual landscape we
inhabit today. She fought for social justice, eventually
channeling her energy to one single cause: legalizing
contraception. From opening the first illegal birth
control clinic in America in 1916 through the founding of Planned Parenthood,
Sanger sacrificed two husbands, three children, and scores of lovers in her
fight for sexual equality and freedom.
“Terrible Virtue is captivating, powerful, headlong and inventive, just like its
subject. A beautifully wrought, compulsively readable novel.” — Stacy Schiff,
author of The Witches: Salem, 1692.
Laurie R. King
The Murder of Mary Russell
Bantam
Mary Russell is used to secrets — her own,
and those of her famous partner and husband,
Sherlock Holmes. Trust is a thing slowly given, but
the two have forged an indissoluble bond. In a
devastating instant, everything changes. And the
most shocking revelation of all is that the clues point directly to their beloved
housekeeper, Clara Hudson. A frantic Sherlock Holmes must put aside his
anguish and push deep into Clara’s secrets.
“King has managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes’ss character and yet
somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be
the partner of his mind as well as his heart.” — The Washington Post Book

Nina Sadowsky
Just Fall
Ballantine Books
On her wedding night, Ellie’s perfect world suddenly
collapses. Her suave and charming husband is not
the man she believed him to be. Could he really be a
killer? Ellie is swept into a lethal vortex of betrayal,
lies, and uncertainty. Who is the man she married,
really? And how far will she go to protect him? Ellie’s decision propels her into
a whiplash-paced adventure, filled with twists and a startling sense of unease.
“Character-rich and compulsively readable, Just Fall takes the reader on a wild
ride through the psyches of two damaged people who hope to find redemption
in each other. The writing is lush, the insights sharp. This novel is a winner.” —

Parting Gifts
She Writes Press
Sisters Catherine, Anne, and Jessica search for love,
acceptance, and worth. Catherine is a professor
battling breast cancer with Cytoxan, red wine, and
profanity. Anne is a wife and stay-at-home mother
struggling in an existence that both suffocates and
confounds her. Jessica is an exotic dancer who feels safer on stage than in a
relationship. But when the sisters are faced with loss, they are forced to
reevaluate themselves, their damaged bonds, and their fragile future.
“Willis transports me into a moment so I . . . . feel it as if I am there. And when
I am lost in one of her stories, I don’t want to come back.” — Rachel Macy
Stafford, author of Hands Free Mama.
