Pew
By Catherine Lacey
Pew, Catherine Lacey's third novel, is a foreboding, provocative, and amorphous fable about the world today: its contradictions, its flimsy morality, and the limits of judging others based on their appearance. With precision and restraint, one of our most beloved and boundary-pushing writers holds up a mirror to her characters' true selves, revealing something about forgiveness, perception, and the faulty tools society uses to categorize human complexity.

Catherine House
By Elisabeth Thomas
Elisabeth Thomas's gothic-infused debut of literary suspense is set within a secluded, elite university and follows a dangerously curious, rebellious undergraduate who uncovers a shocking secret about an exclusive circle of students - and the dark truth beneath her school's promise of prestige.
Catherine House is a devious, deliciously steamy, and suspenseful page-turner with shocking twists and sharp edges that is sure to leave readers breathless.

Rodham
By Curtis Sittenfeld
Curtis Sittenfeld's new nove imagines a deeply compelling what-might-have-been: What if Hillary Rodham hadn't married Bill Clinton? Brilliantly weaving a riveting fictional tale into actual historical events, Sittenfeld delivers an uncannily astute and witty story for our times. In exploring the loneliness, moral ambivalence, and iron determination that characterize the quest for political power, as well as both the exhilaration and painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world still run mostly by men,
Rodham is a singular and unforgettable novel.
