INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Exquisite.
A must-read.” --Kristin Hannah This paperback edition includes a color reproduction of Andrew Wyeth’s painting Christina’s World, along with a Q&A with the author, and a bonus short story, “Stranded in Ice.” From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the smash bestseller Orphan Train, a stunning and atmospheric novel of friendship, passion, and art, inspired by Andrew Wyeth’s mysterious and iconic painting Christina’s World.
"Later he told me that he’d been afraid to show me the painting.
He thought I wouldn’t like the way he portrayed me: dragging myself across the field, fingers clutching dirt, my legs twisted behind.
The arid moonscape of wheatgrass and timothy.
That dilapidated house in the distance, looming up like a secret that won’t stay hidden." To Christina Olson, the entire world is her family farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine.
The only daughter in a family of sons, Christina is tied to her home by health and circumstance, and seems destined for a small life.
Instead, she becomes Andrew Wyeth’s first great inspiration, and the subject of one of the best-known paintings of the twentieth century, Christina’s World.
As she did in her beloved bestseller Orphan Train, Christina Baker Kline interweaves fact and fiction to vividly reimagine a real moment in history.
A Piece of the World is a powerful story of the flesh-and-blood woman behind the portrait, her complicated relationship to her family and inheritance, and how artist and muse can come together to forge a new and timeless legacy.

New York Times Bestseller: A lyrical, suspenseful coming-of-age story based on Greek myths of the Amazons, woman warriors living near the Black Sea.
Born out of sorrow in an ancient time of blood and war, Rain is a girl marked by destiny.
Her mother, Alina, is the proud queen of a tribe of female warriors, yet she refuses to touch or even look at her only daughter.
So Rain draws on the strength and knowledge of her Amazon sisters to learn the ways of her people: how to carve spoons out of bones, ride her white horse as fiercely as a demon, and shoot an arrow straight into the heart of an enemy.
Determined to win her mother’s love and take her rightful place as the next queen, Rain becomes a brave and determined fighter.
But the dream of a black horse clouds her future, portending death.
As one devastating battle follows the next, Rain hopes for a different life for her tribe beyond never-ending bloodshed.
Peace, mercy, and love, however, are forbidden words in her language—can Rain teach her sisters to speak in a new tongue before it’s too late? Inspired by Greek legends and recent archaeological discoveries in Russia and Ukraine, The Foretelling is a breathtaking achievement from the bestselling author of The Dovekeepers.

Boone Adams: He was so smart he wrote half the English papers for the freshman class, when he wasn't getting drunk at night and waking up hung over in the morning.
To him life was full of promise .

just the ones it didn't intend to keep.
Jennifer Grayle: She was the campus golden girl, so rich, so pretty, that every boy wanted to take her out.
Except Boone.
He wanted to marry her.
John Merchent: He was tall and blond with blue eyes and a cleft in his chin like Cary Grant's.
He didn't have Boone's lively imagination, but he had something else: Jennifer.
Praise for Love and Glory “[Robert] Parker writes with economy and precision and wit and passion.

Love and Glory [is] one of the best love stories I've ever encountered.”—The Press-Chronicle “A straightforward, unrelenting, shamelessly romantic novel that's about a two-year obsession.

It works .

[and] love stories that work are almost an extinct breed.
Almost.”—Santa Cruz Sentinel “Parker's writing is like fine architecture or music—it's both intricate and direct.
There are no false notes.”—Chicago Sun-Times

2022 Scotiabank Giller Prize Longlist For readers of My Dark Vanessa, a mesmerizing, disturbing, and thoroughly compelling novel about one woman’s role in preserving—or destroying—her famous father’s legacy.
In front of me are hundreds of pages of work.
Already I feel it leaving me.
He will obliterate what is there, replace it, deny I ever wrote a word.
But, he cannot take the words I write on my own.
Hillary Greene’s father, once a celebrated author and public figure, is now losing his memory and, with it, his ability to write.
As her father’s primary caretaker, each day begins with two eggs, boiled and Charlie Rose or some other host on the iPad screen.
Her father compulsively watches himself in old interviews, memorizing his own speech, trying to hang on to who he was.
An aspiring author herself, Hillary impulsively agrees to ghost-write his final work—a memoir spanning his career—and release it in his name.
Diving deep into her father’s past, and in turn her own, a horrifying truth begins to piece itself together.
With full control over her father’s memoir, Hillary is faced with a stark choice: reveal her father as a monster or preserve his legacy as a respected literary figure.
But she wonders what writing the truth will do to her and if it will damage her own prospects for a career.
Whichever option she chooses, Hillary has to deal with the significant pain writing the memoir has re-surfaced—specifically, how the truth about her father adds to her grief over the death of her enigmatic sister, Pauline.
For the first time in her life, Hillary holds the power.
Set in the wake of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, What We Both Know is a visceral, intimate, and complex novel about confronting the personal and professional consequences—and potentially devastating fallout—of revealing the truth about a famous man.
