I don't know about you, but September has been a big month for us. We kicked off with the trade paperback publication of William Landay's New York Times besteller Defending Jacob. We also celebrated the publication of Lisa Van Allen's enchanting novel The Wishing Thread (and we have copies to give away to you). That's not all, though. Don't miss our other great reads and recommendations below.
"A splendid book, the finest... memoir to cross my desk in many a year."—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
On February 14, 1989, Salman Rushdie was told that he had been "sentenced to death" by the Ayatollah Khomeini for having written The Satanic Verses, a novel accused of being "against Islam, the Prophet and the Quran." And so begins the extraordinary true story of Rushdie's life underground, where he was asked to choose an alias; he immediately thought of writers he loved, Conrad and Chekhov—thus creating Joseph Anton.
"Reader to reader, knitter to knitter: You're going to love this book."—Debbie Macomber
For fans of Jennifer Chiaverini and Sarah Addison Allen, The Wishing Thread is an enchanting novel about the bonds between sisters, the indelible pull of the past, and the transformational power of love.
