Two couples who have little in common, yet whose lives will converge with unexpected poignancy

‘Til the Well Runs Dry

A Touch of Stardust

Alcott, Kate

Amick’s expertly crafted novel combines an unusual love story with an intriguing, atmospheric peek into the American graphic-art world in the 1940s.

To The Bright Edge of the World

Ivey, Eowyn

Set again in the Alaskan landscape Eowyn Ivey's new novel is a breathtaking story of discovery and adventure, set at the end of the nineteenth century, and of a marriage tested by a closely held secret.

Along the Infinite Sea

Williams, Beatriz

FIC WIL

Imagine The Sound of Music for big girls, flavored with a dash of Mad Men bitters.

Whiskey Beach

Traces the lineaments of “English Love” through the fiction of 200 years.

The Time Traveler’s Wife

Niffenegger, Audrey

Henry works as a rare-books librarian and recites Rilke; Clare is an avant-sculptress and papermaker; they appreciate the best of punk rock, opera, and Chicago, live in a beautiful house, and have better sex than you.
