Sussman S: Boy from the North Country

Boy from the North Country

'A comedy about tragedy. Séamas O'Reilly has written a brutal, profound, and very funny novel' NINA STIBBE 'Prestige Drama is bristlingly funny, richly humane . . . Séamas O'Reilly is a writer with a rare and vital comic gift' MARK O'CONNELL 'Séamas is one of my favourite living writers. Honestly - there is nobody else who could write a book like this about tragedy, loss and who gets to tell a story, with such deft and moving wit' EVA WISEMAN Derry is already abuzz with news that famous American actor, Monica Logue, has flown to the city and will be starring in a new series set during the Troubles. And then she goes missing . . . All eyes are on Diarmuid, the flaky scriptwriter who was the last to see Monica alive. From budding young actors hoping for a role to grieving parent whose story forms the backbone of the narrative; newspaper editors covering the mystery to taxi drivers hearing all the news from their clients, Prestige Drama follows the city's cast as they all try to locate themselves in Monica's disappearance. Séamas O'Reilly's debut novel is a comedy about dramatising tragedy, and the responsibilities of a teller to a tale. It brings to life the voices of a city, the people, families and communities who find themselves obsessed with, and terrified of, interrogating their past.

the ‘hilarious and profound’ debut novel from the bestselling author of Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!Sisters? Forever. Friends? NEVER. Who knew a reunion weekend could be so deadly? Meet the sorority sisters of Theta Gamma Mu: <ul><li>Roxy Callahan Gentry, the ruthless former sorority president and current hostess who has painstakingly choreographed every detail of this weekend-even matching the cocktails to her couture-to prove that she remains their undisputed queen</li><li>Amelia Dell, the widow drenched in old money and alcohol, with her big pot-stirring spoon and uninvited boy-toy in tow</li><li>Jamie Vale, the double-legacy pledge, straight-A student with no sparkle, now a top cardiologist with a picture-perfect family-and a well-guarded bad habit</li><li>Beth Harrison, the scholarship student who never quite fit in and was only admitted because her best friend Sunny insisted that the two were a package deal</li><li>Sunny Spencer, the carefree and beloved friend to all, or so it seemed-until she wasn't</li></ul> They've been summoned to Roxy's luxurious Palm Springs vacation home to celebrate the engagement of her son to Beth's daughter. But the refurbished 1920s estate is eerily reminiscent of the hotel where tragedy struck during Spring Break twenty-five years ago. Long-simmering tensions and shocking secrets begin bubbling to the surface like bodies-because while the weekend was supposed to be about celebrating the future, it's not so easy to bury the past... For fans of Shari Lapena, Mary Kubica, and B. A. Paris, We Were Never Friends is an unputdownable, riveting train wreck full of dark humor and bad behavior.

A Novel

We Were Never Friends

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Two people who can’t stand each other must come together to plan their mutual ex’s wedding in this new romantic comedy by Taleen Voskuni, author of Lavash at First Sight. Ani Avakian was supposed to be the Bay Area’s premier Armenian wedding planner by now. But after a huge blow to her business, she’s determined to redeem herself by taking on the biggest job of her career: a wedding for an indie movie star. The wedding is set at a stunning Armenian-owned winery, and Ani is eager to connect with the owner, who she’ll be working closely with. But then she actually meets him. Sure, Raffi is ridiculously hot and charming, but he’s also insufferably smug. Though the real gut punch comes when Ani meets the happy couple—because the actress’s fiancée is none other than the woman who shattered her heart two years ago: her ex-girlfriend, Kami. All Raffi Garabedian has ever wanted is to make his father proud. Taking over the family winery should be his dream come true—but its first major event is off to a rocky start, thanks to one irritating(-ly beautiful) wedding planner who challenges him at every turn. He’s shocked to find that they have one thing in common, however: their mutual ex, Kami. Despite the record level of awkwardness, they’ll have to work together to make sure this wedding goes perfectly. But first, they’ll have to deal with the tension sizzling between them—before it turns their ex’s nuptials into a full-blown disaster…or something much more scandalous.

Our Ex's Wedding

PREMIO CLARÍN DE NOVELA «Una novela actual y misteriosa, en la tradición del weird y con citas a Arthur Machen, Lovecraft o Chambers, con algo de terror ecológico y una notable reconstrucción histórica'. -Mariana Enriquez Hay algo vivo e inclasificable que recorre el planeta Tierra desde su creación y parece capaz de sobrevivirlo. Se extiende bajo la superficie y emerge como una planta fantástica, en múltiples sentidos. De ella darán testimonio los distintos narradores de la novela -cuyas voces se escuchan en 1504, 1888, 1945- y el arco temporal de un futuro que solo la literatura puede imaginar. Una y otra vez, mientras la humanidad crece y se piensa, el bionte, este organismo que aterra pero que también refugia, será un espejo del devenir histórico bajo el horror de su idea de progreso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION CLARÍN NOVEL PRIZE &gt;There is something alive and unclassifiable that has coursed through planet Earth since its creation--and seems capable of outliving it. It spreads beneath the surface and emerges like a fantastic plant, in every sense of the word. Its existence is recounted by the novel's different narrators--voices that speak from 1504, 1888, and 1945--and through the temporal arc of a future that only literature can imagine. Time and again, as humanity grows and reflects upon itself, the biont--this organism that both terrifies and shelters--becomes a mirror of historical evolution, shadowed by the horror of its own idea of progress.

Si sintieras bajo los pies las estructuras mayores

Rumors about the Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some believe the secret society is merely an elite social club, others are convinced it hides something more sinister... Vivian Lawrence was born into old-money Boston, but when her family fortune vanishes so does her carefully curated life. Desperate, she turns to an old family legend that ties her to the Knox and its inheritance, seeking a way into the exclusive secret society. She doesn’t expect that entry to come in the form of Peter, a Knox insider with movie star good looks and just enough roughness to his charm to make Vivian weak in the knees for the first time in her life. Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a young nurse eager to leave her humble past behind. When the effortlessly glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated. But then Vivian abruptly disappears without a trace, sending Taylor on a search for answers that pulls her into the Knox itself—as their new employee. The further Taylor ventures into the Knox’s world of unimaginable wealth and dark history, the more the mystery surrounding Vivian deepens. As Taylor will soon discover, more so than money or status, secrets are this society’s true currency.

It seems easy enough-until she walks into the clinic and finds herself staring right into the gorgeous eyes of Xander Miller, the only man to have ever tempted her to abandon her no-relationships rule.When Xander and Ashleigh realize the study is only looking for couples, they agree to pretend to be together-which means sleeping in the same bed every night for the next few weeks.How hard can it be to keep their cool under the covers?You can expect... 💖Fake dating (for science) 🛏¿Only one bed (every night) 🙅¿¿¿No feelings (allegedly) 💕Second chance romance 🐶Golden retriever MMC 💋Hot mess FMC 😂Banter as a love language 🧪Undeniable chemistry!'Incredible.

Bed Chemistry

"A magnificent debut" (Laila Lalami) that explores loneliness and community, religion and repression, and the pleasure and pain of womanhood. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Debutiful, Lit Hub, Chicago Review of Books, and Autostraddle By turns tender and irreverent, the 11 genre-bending stories in Please Don't Touch the Body are thrillingly concerned with the devastation-and power-of being alive today. In the collection's first story, a Japanese woman finds healing in a secret life as a sex advice columnist after being fetishized by her white husband for decades. In the fourth story, Ronald Reagan is reincarnated as a puppy and must cope with being squeezed, dropped, and controlled by his young, queer owner. And in "Thank You No Thank You," a young woman grapples with the rules she learned in her religious childhood, the freedoms of her new and more liberal life, and her actual desires as she vacations with her long-term boyfriend. Together these inventive, emotionally rich stories reveal an incredible new vision and "a writer to watch" (Rita Chang-Eppig).

Murder Below Deck

A workbook designed to guide the bereaved through grief using a clinically-informed, structured storytelling method, this book gives readers the ability to disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reconcile with their loss using narrative writing. Based upon her research and the 'expressive storytelling' method she created, Linita Eapen Mathew calls upon her own experiences losing her father along with carefully structured narrative exercises to teach readers how they can write, re-examine, revise, and re-write their grief story to work towards a point of clarity and release. Leaning into grief theory and trauma-informed and therapeutic writing research, Writing Through Grief allows readers to create a complete and consistent account of their experiences to help them process events that unfolded, release trauma, and relieve the intense reactions and responses to the loss of both the living and the deceased. With each chapter combining Eapen's personal narrative with expressive storytelling exercises alongside discussion of the research behind them for context, this book offers readers a creative, productive but emotionally sensitive approach to handling grief. Whether guided by a trained psychologist, a workshop instructor or writing in the comfort of a personal space, writers can disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reflection through creative writing.

An Expressive Storytelling Workbook

Narrating Your Grief

The latest novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature.

Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It's 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldn't know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman's existence. But after two chance encounters, Teddý's dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one woman's life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think we've left behind.
