Other Indie FavoritesHold the Dark: A Novel, by William Giraldi (Liveright, $24.95) “In a remote Alaskan village where wolves have been taking the local children, a mother calls for a stranger to help locate her missing son. This is the beginning of a harrowing tale of loyalty, dark secrets, and violence, set in the uttermost regions of the Alaskan frontier. Giraldi weaves a sinister story that involves family secrets, ritual, and the wildness of a remote land. Perfect for lovers of the works of Cormac McCarthy and Donald Ray Pollack.” —Helen Gregory, Maria’s Bookshop, Durango, CO

The Story of Land and Sea: A Novel, by Katy Simpson Smith (Harper, $26.99) “Simpson’s debut novel is a quiet and radiant book. This story of love and loss is set during the later part of the American Revolutionary War and is told from the shifting viewpoints of a 10-year-old white girl, Tabitha; her family; their slave, Moll; and Moll’s young son, Davy. While we can never know exactly what it felt like to be living on the North Carolina coast, on land and sea, at the end of the 18th century, Smith’s graceful writing seems to capture the very essence of a different way of being in the world. This is an exceptionally written novel with characters whose hard lives are redeemed by moments of both beauty and mercy.” —Sarah Goddin, Quail Ridge Books & Music, Raleigh, NC

Another Indie FavoriteThe Lion Seeker: A Novel, by Kenneth Bonert (Mariner, $14.95) “This is a perfect book, and given that it is Bonert’s debut novel, it’s even more astounding. He uses South African apartheid, where blacks are treated like the Jews of Eastern Europe, to convey the drama of a Lithuanian family’s emigration to escape the very debasement that they then perpetrate on those who live in their new community. It’s a complicated story well told, emotional, fraught with angst, but also with some of the most memorable characters in recent fictionalhistory.”—Gayle Shanks, Changing Hands Bookstore, Tempe, AZ

“Perkins is a master of rom
ance and she is forever a favorite of m
ine. She has truly outdone herself w
ith her latest book. I loved every m
inute of Isla and Josh’s journey, and with
the inclusion of cameos from
some of Perkins’
most beloved characters from
previous books, readers w
ill not be disappointed. I’m only sad
that, after Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy N
ext Door, this is the end of this
enjoyable trilogy.” —C
