  • Death at Greenway A Novel

    HarperCollins Publishers Inc Death at Greenway A Novel

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"Irresistible... a Golden Age homage, an elegantly constructed mystery that on every page reinforces the message that everyone counts." — New York Times Book Review “Chicago author Lori Rader-Day pays a fictional tribute to Christie in Death at Greenway, a suitably suspenseful novel in which World War II nurses tend to London-evacuated children at the absent mystery writer’s holiday home; the owner’s occupation takes on added significance when the corpse of a murder victim is found on a nearby beach.” — Wall Street Journal "Richly nuanced mystery . . . Rader-Day nicely evokes the isolation and dislocations of people in WWII Britain while revealing her characters’ complexities. Despite the many allusions to Christie’s life and work, she eschews an artificially neat conclusion. Fans of both Christie and Rader-Day will relish this." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Death at Greenway "Two strangers with secrets, ten little children evacuated from London, and a stay at Agatha Christie’s country house make for a deliciously compelling mystery. With its flawed, complex heroine, haunting evocation of wartime England, and a series of plot twists and breathtaking reveals, Rader-Day’s newest is a triumph." — Susan Elia MacNeal, New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series “A gorgeous evocation of World War II England, a moving investigation of love and hope under trial, a twisty murder mystery that would have satisfied Dame Agatha herself—all proof that Lori Rader-Day’s gifts translate to all eras. What a delicious book.” — Louis Bayard, author of The Pale Blue Eye and Courting Mr. Lincoln “Death at Greenway by Lori Rader-Day is an immersive, expansive WWII tale of murder and revenge. Set at Agatha Christie’s real-life country home, disgraced nurse-in-training, Bridey Kelly, is tasked to help care for a group of children seeking safety from war-torn London. Still, danger is everywhere and with unseen evil lurking, Bridey has to navigate a mysterious web of lies. Well-crafted and multi-layered, Death at Greenway is a vivid portrait of a woman trying to outrun her past in hopes of finding her place in a broken world.” — Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of This is How I Lied "Death at Greenway is a book Lori Rader-Day was born to write. The characters are deeply moving, the suspense and World War II research are impeccable. The language, as is always the case with Rader-Day, is beautiful, but in Greenway, she shows her suppleness: her pitch-perfect dialogue brings England in the Blitz to life." — Sara Paretsky, New York Times bestselling author of Dead Land, on Death at Greenway “A wonderfully atmospheric, beautifully written and entirely credible evocation of wartime Britain.” — Ann Cleeves, internationally bestselling author of the Shetland and Vera series, on Death at Greenway “One of crime fiction’s strongest and most compelling voices.” — Alex Segura, acclaimed author of Blackout and Dangerous Ends "Elegant and atmospheric . . . A clever take on the historical thriller." — CrimeReads, The Best Historical Fiction of 2021 “Dark, inventive and complex, the novel transcends simple whodunit status as Rader–Day focuses as much on the fears, deprivations, losses and uncertainties of war as she does on mystery.... Inspired by yesteryear but enriched by Rader–Day’s talent, Death at Greenway showcases a superior example of historical crime fiction.” — Free-Lance Star (Fredericksburg, VA) “Complex characters, a rich sense of the effect of WWII on British citizens, and the constant threat of danger… Death at Greenway does justice to Christie’s oeuvre.” — South Florida Sun-Sentinel “An intriguing mix of history and mystery.” — Chicago Tribune “Agatha Christie would be pleased with Rader-Day’s sixth novel . . . An intriguing mystery with well-developed characters and fascinating historical details.” — Library Journal "Rader-Day, known for masterfully weaving historical elements into her female-focused literary thrillers, imbues this wartime whodunit with palpable emotion as Bridey reconciles her family’s bombing deaths through a plan to save another life." — Booklist “Far from a cozy mystery, Death at Greenway is as taut as a bow string, with every character capable of snapping at a moment’s notice.” — BookPage “This puzzle box of a novel has everything, death at a distance on the battlefields and in hospitals, murder up close happening around Greenway House, a group of people that do not belong in the country, a crowd of those who will never leave the area. Readers will enjoy this novel down to the last page because when you find a well-layered entertaining enigma like “Death at Greenway,” it’s time to brew a cuppa and settle in for a treat.” — New City Lit “Riveting…The novel evokes Christie’s style, complex plots, and atmosphere, but with impressive updates in terms of intimate relationships and psychology…Readers of historical novels will love the mix of history and fiction, admiring the way facts are easily feathered into the flow of the story. Highly recommended.” — Historical Novels Review “This book is powerful in subtle ways. The author lays in clues in such a way that even the mistress of misdirection, Agatha Christie, would be proud. If you are a fan of Christie, or just of historical fiction, place this book on your to-read list.” — Reviewing the Evidence “Rader-Day accomplishes something special here. Death at Greenway is neither a Christie pastiche nor a gimmick, and no character is a type, a pitfall in historical fiction. Each one is drawn with delicacy and care, and though the author did her research, it’s been organically synthesized into the novel.” — Air Mail “Rader-Day creates deeply believable, empathetic characters and puts the power in the hands of women.” — Publishers Weekly on The Lucky One "The Lucky One promises to be another signature Lori Rader-Day blend of psychology, suspense, and noir." — CrimeReads on The Lucky One

[…] Guerra holds the reader’s attention by evoking Cuba’s political tempest in Havana’s humid, salty air. It adds up to an effectively moody, intimate story.” — Publishers Weekly "A multilayered novel...Nadia's, her mother's, and Celia's stories provide fascinating insights into the female dimension of an infamously macho revolution." — Booklist "This is Wendy Guerra at her best. I Was Never The First Lady is a beautiful, disturbing, intimately-told novel about the existential orphanhood of women in a Cuba where Fidel’s Castro’s revolution has upended notions of family, individual identity and national belonging. Unforgettable." — Jon Lee Anderson, author of CHE GUEVARA: A REVOLUTIONARY LIFE "Guerra’s novel is a grand if bittersweet valentine to Cuba." — Kirkus Reviews "[Guerra is] a staggering talent." — Oprah.com

    Book SynopsisTrade Review“In this dazzling portrait of a woman who has long been lingering in the pages of Little Women, Margaret March comes to vivid life in Marmee. With an authentic and inviting voice, Sarah Miller brings Marmee into our hearts and lives. Here we see the other side of the story, here we meet a woman who must make impossible choices with people she loves fully. Marmee carries her own secrets and sharp edges in a story that will sweep you away and leave you wishing for more.” — Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea “Enthralling … In Miller’s admirable hands, Marmee is heart-warming, sometimes heart-rending, but never cloying. Fans of Little Women will love this book almost as much; those who do not care for Alcott’s novel may find in Marmee a far more emotionally complex and satisfying portrait of family love and generosity in a politically realistic setting.” — Historical Novels Review "Finally one of literature’s most beloved mothers gets her moment to shine. Through careful research and charming prose, Sarah Miller’s devotion to Little Women is apparent on every page of this heartwarming novel. Readers may come to Marmee out of nostalgia, but they’ll discover a timely and inspiring novel about a resilient and strong-willed woman navigating a turbulent era to create a better world for her daughters." — Elise Hooper, author of Angels of the Pacific and The Other Alcott “A master of historical fiction, Miller forges Caroline Ingalls into a formidable, complex pioneer woman, and adult fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series will delight in this portrayal of ‘Ma.’ Beguiling, pulse-pounding historical fiction.” — Kirkus Reviews on Caroline “Peeling back the layers of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series allows Miller to reveal the real Caroline Ingalls, Wilder’s mother. Not to be missed by Wilder’s grown-up fans or those who enjoy historical fiction about the settling of the American West in the late 1800s.” — Library Journal on Caroline “Through assured prose, Miller puts us in those conversations, showing us the fear and uncertainty behind Wilder’s implacable, unflappable ‘Ma,’ but also her strength and devotion to her husband and children... this is a stunning novel. Miller’s research is impeccable and her writing exquisite.” — Historical Novels Review, Editors’ Choice on Caroline “I was entertained, transported, and inspired by Sarah Miller’s Caroline. Each passage was written with so much care and love, I now can’t imagine reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s series without a copy of Caroline close at hand.” — New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray “Readers who grew up cherishing the stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder will find much to savor in Caroline...Full of lyrical descriptions of the wild beauty of the Kansas countryside, Caroline is a well-researched and thoughtful look at the inner life of one of America’s most famous frontier women.” — BookPage “Comforting, inspiring and beautifully written, Caroline is a precious addition to the story of the Ingalls family but stands on its own as a testament to the spirit, grit and courage that built America.” — Mary Jane Clark “Now, Miller draws her [Caroline Ingalls] onto center stage, gifting readers with a beautiful portrait of a remarkable, true pioneer. This is a beautiful tribute to a mother and a family who followed their dreams and a tale that is as uplifting and real as the original Little House books.” — RT Book Reviews on Caroline

She keeps it light, she keeps it moving and she’s got terrific visuals...You can watch the movie in your mind. Lady Gaga as Sheba? I’m already casting it." — New York Times Book Review "I LOVED Jessica Anya Blau’s novel. Mary Jane is about an oppressed teenager being given a jolt of life and joy by an eccentric found family of therapists, a child, a rock star and a movie star in the 1970s....If you have ever sung along to a hit on the radio, in any decade, then you will devour Mary Jane at 45rpm." — Nick Hornby "I dare you to find a more winning novel than Jessica Anya Blau’s Mary Jane. Filled with humor and sharpness and so much light, this book introduces an amazing cast of characters, all so unique and finely observed, held together by the clarity of Mary Jane’s voice. It evokes those rare moments when your world is on the precipice of change, almost a dream, and how thrilling it is to push your way toward something new." — Kevin Wilson "Blau’s intelligent, witty novel captures the essence of the ’70s with humor and immensely appealing characters. Highly recommended." — Library Journal (starred review) "Blau’s coming-of-age charmer will hit all of the nostalgia notes." — Parade "MARY JANE is that rare thing: An utterly charming, absurdly delightful novel that also makes you think deeply about the world around you. Jessica Anya Blau's clear-eyed wit reminded me of Curtis Sittenfeld and Laurie Colwin, and, of course, Jane Austen." — Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year “The experience of reading Jessica Anya Blau’s Mary Jane is a lot like eating quality candy: super enjoyable, crazy good. I am sad to have finished it.” — Marcy Dermansky "A serious book packed with funny moments and a lot of heart." — Boston Globe "A charming and poignant tale of desire, image, Americana, and chosen family." — Booklist "This novel is a week at the beach with rock stars, it’s a three-part harmony at a kitchen table, it’s finding a family where you fit in. Jessica Anya Blau is a smart, generous, sensitive storyteller, and Mary Jane is a loving, sexy, funny, and beautiful book." — Gabriel Brownstein, author of The Open Heart Club “Jessica Anya Blau is one of the funniest writers--EVER. No one captures the oddities, joys --and yes--the pain--of modern life with such frankness, humor and sly-witted style.” — ZZ Packer, author of Drinking Coffee Elsewhere "Both poignant and tremendously funny...unendingly charming and fun." — Shelf Awareness "Wonderful...A tale of clashing cultures and a slow awakening of ideas, hope and beliefs, this is one of those novels you’ll be so glad to lose yourself to. It’s also perfect for fans of Curtis Sittenfeld's books – and we can give it no higher praise…" — Stylist (UK)

Based on Catherine Dior's real-life resistance movement, this is a powerful story of the impact women have had on history." — Stephanie Marie Thornton, USA Today bestselling author of And They Called It Camelot “A beautiful homage to the strength and resilience of women spies during the Second World War, Christine Wells’ Sisters of the Resistance is that rare jewel of a WWII novel that surprises as much as it delights.” — Bryn Turnbull, international bestselling author of The Woman Before Wallis “Sisters of the Resistance has it all!

Piper Huguley captures lightning in a bottle, an ideal match between writer and subject. In Huguley's talented hands, Lowe's remarkable story surges out of the shadows, practically demanding to be told and shared and celebrated." — Greer Macallister, bestselling author of The Magician's Lie and The Arctic Fury "As intricate and impressive as one of Ann Lowe's designs, Piper Huguley's By Her Own Design isn't just the story of a dress, or even a life. It's a whirlwind trip through an America in flux, from the days of hobble skirts to the wobbly image of Lady Diana Spencer on a square tv screen, seen through the eyes of a woman so real and raw that you'll feel like you're living it all with her. This is biographical fiction at its very best!" — Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling author of Band of Sisters "By Her Own Design is a vivid, powerful, and ultimately hopeful novel about “hidden figure” Ann Cole Lowe and her fight to create and deliver Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress—as well as her life-long battle for love, family, and legacy.

By Her Own Design is a must-read! — Julia Kelly, international bestselling author of The Last Dance of the Debutante "By Her Own Design’s powerful voice and dedicated research bring an unsung heroine into the well-deserved spotlight.

Her climb is mesmerizing-- Piper Huguley has crafted a heroine for the ages!" — Kate Quinn, NY Times Bestselling author of The Diamond Eye “Piper Huguley’s By Her Own Design is a sumptuous quilt with lyrical lace and detailed thread work that made an iconic life feel authentic and heartwarming… Readers will love getting to know Ann Lowe and the story behind the designs.” — Vanessa Riley, Bestselling Author of Island Queen "The facts of Ann Lowe's life are remarkable, but Huguley has taken us a step further, harnessing the art of fiction to invoke the emotions of her experiences and bring Ann Lowe to life." — Elizabeth Way, Associate Curator, The Museum at FIT and editor of Black Designers in American Fashion. "Piper Huguely’s captivating and eye-opening novel By Her Own Design, explores the life of Ann Lowe, a gifted woman descended from slaves, who overcomes brutal racial prejudice and personal strife to become a dress designer for society’s elite, ultimately designing Jacqueline Bouvier's iconic wedding gown. Like Lowe’s gorgeous and whimsical dress designs, Huguley’s By Her Own Design is beautifully crafted with meticulous attention to detail, pulling this extraordinary woman out of the shadows of history and bringing her into the light for posterity." — Jane Healey, bestselling author of The Secret Stealers "A remarkable, exciting read, not only because Huguley brings to life a brilliant fashion designer who's been lost to history, but because she practically channels the spirit and voice of Ann Lowe. This is a book to be devoured." — Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnolia Palace "Piper Huguley's novel follows the arc of Ann Lowe's amazing life from her childhood in Alabama fashioning ethereal silk flowers to the greatest commission of her career, the wedding dress of Jacqueline Bouvier to John F Kennedy. The challenges of that life and her determination to succeed are beautifully recounted in this wonderful story." — Dr. Kate Strasdin, Senior Lecturer, Cultural Studies at Falmouth University "An extraordinary woman steps from the pages of this novel, full of courage and tenacity despite the limitations placed on her because of the color of her skin. I love the distinctive voice of Ann Lowe: she’s a true original. It's difficult to write in first person but Piper Huguley completely nails it, giving us a character who sounds and feels utterly authentic. It's a compelling read." — Gill Paul, author of The Manhattan Girls

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"Beasts of a Little Land is a stunning chronicle of the Korean peninsula during the tumultuous decades leading to independence and partition. Told through the lives of a rich cast of characters—courtesans, Japanese generals, and revolutionaries—whose stories intertwine in the most unexpected ways, it is by turns political and sensual, epic and intimate. It is also a profound meditation on place; Kim evokes the urban and natural landscapes of Korea with transporting beauty. This novel will devastate you and then still you with its wise meditations on love and loss. I couldn’t put it down." -- Alexis Schaitkin, author of Saint X"Elegant and wise, lush and immersive, Beasts of a Little Land is Tolstoyan in its sweep and ambition as it brings to life the Korean struggle against Japanese occupation and the making of a modern nation in the first half of the 20th century. Juhea Kim is a conjurer of rare ability whose magnificent debut utterly enchants." -- Keija Parssinen, author of The Unraveling of Mercy Louis

In this dazzling novel, based on true-life events, bestselling author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni presents the unforgettable story of Jindan, who transformed herself from daughter of the royal kennel keeper to powerful monarch.Sharp-eyed, stubborn, and passionate, Jindan was known for her beauty. When she caught the eye of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, she was elevated to royalty, becoming his youngest and last queen?and his favorite. And when her son, barely six years old, unexpectedly inherited the throne, Jindan assumed the regency. She transformed herself from pampered wife to warrior ruler, determined to protect her people and her son?s birthright from the encroaching British Empire.Defying tradition, she stepped out of the zenana, cast aside the veil, and conducted state business in public, inspiring her subjects in two wars.

She isolates herself in her immense studio, Burntcoat, with Halit, the lover she barely knows.

What results is a vivid and deep story that will send the reader to the internet seeking more.I give it my highest recommendation.” — Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of Fallen Beauty and Hemingway’s Girl “Elise Hooper’s Dorothea Lange is magnetic!...This is a winning novel from the first page.” — Devin Murphy, national bestselling author of The Boat Runner and Tiny Americans “Written with grace, empathy, and bright imagination, LEARNING TO SEE gives us the vivid interior life of a remarkably resilient woman.
