Johnson S: Keeper of Lost Children

Keeper of Lost Children

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, the #1 New York Times bestseller from Colson Whitehead, a magnificent tour de force chronicling a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhood-where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned-Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted. In Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor-engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city's placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom. Like the protagonist of Gulliver's Travels, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey-hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

A Novel

The Underground Railroad

The daring and dazzling follow-up to THE SONG OF ACHILLES, which brilliantly reimagines the life of CIRCE, formidable sorceress of The Odyssey. With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense, CIRCE is an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

Circe

Here is a typical Stone Age family, reimagined by Roy Lewis in this hilarious novel as characters in some glittering drawing-room comedy. Father, who has a scientific turn of mind, has just discovered fire. Mother makes sure the children finish supper, even when the plat du jour is toad. Uncle Vanya thinks that the species has been flirting with disaster ever since it began to chip flint into tools. While little Alexander has gotten himself in deep trouble by making the first cave painting: artists are always so misunderstood. Long out of print, The Evolution Man would make Charles Darwin turn over in his grave. Lewis has written a witty, intelligent satire of the lives of our remote ancestors, complete with highly revisionist accounts of everything from the origins of courtship to the staples of Pleistocene cuisine. It's the funniest thing to happen to prehistory since Raquel Welch donned a fur bikini in One Million B.C.

Or How I Ate My Father

The Evolution Man

'At least that post-Reformation sovereignty of the word still yields novels as richly imagined and skilfully crafted as this' The Spectator Longlisted for the 2025 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction Longlisted in the 2024 HWA Crown Awards ANNO DOMINI 1546. In a manor house in England a young woman feels the walls are closing around her, while her dying husband is obsessed by his vision of a chapel where prayers will be said for his immortal soul. As the days go by and the chapel takes shape, the outside world starts to intrude. But as the old ways are replaced by the new, the people of the village sense a dangerous freedom ... Reader Reviews 'A must read ... Characters that one cares about, beautifully structured, a real page turner' 'A jewel of a book' 'Beautifully written' 'Atmospheric and compelling'

The Book of Days

A determined young woman, Shirley shows indomitable courage from the outbreak of the Second World War, working in the Air Raids Precaution patrol, as well as keeping house, in the time of severe rationing, for her father and her brother. While on duty, she throws herself into dangerous situations to protect and rescue the residents in her area, without thought for her own well-being. Her physical and mental state are severely compromised by a visit to relatives during the autumn of 1940, but her salvation comes in an unforeseen form, which allows her to return to her lifelong dream of becoming a ballerina. The Fiery Pillars of War takes the reader across the battle fronts in Europe and beyond, where innovations in armaments put entire populations at risk, their reach extending to London and much of the rest of the country, highlighting the brutal effects of the war on the battlefield, on civilian populations and on prisoners of war. The Fiery Pillars of War is the third book in the 'Immortal Souls' series which includes Cry to Dream Again and Silent Music.

The Fiery Pillars of War

The Propagandist

In this rousingly good ghost story, Setterfield's debut novel rejuvenates the genre with a closely plotted, clever foray into a world of secrets, confused identities, lies, and half-truths.

The Thirteenth Tale

Ella Cara Deloria (1889-1971) war eine Dakota-Indianerin, die als Ethnologin Feldforschung in ihrem eigenen Stamm betrieb. Sie hatte somit die Möglichkeit, Indianer, die das freie Leben auf der Prärie noch kannten, in ihrer Muttersprache zu befragen und sich detailliert aus erster Hand Auskunft über sämtliche Aspekte des Lebens der Dakota/Lakota in der Zeit um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts geben zu lassen. Die Quintessenz ihrer Forschungen hat sie in ihren Roman »Waterlily« einfließen lassen, der auf lebendige und fesselnde Weise das Leben von Waterlily, einer jungen Dakota, und deren Familie, schildert. Dabei wird der Alltag im tiyoSpaye, dem Verbund eng miteinander verwandter Familien innerhalb eines Zeltdorfes, ebenso in seiner ganzen Vielfalt geschildert wie Zeremonien (Hunka, Sonnentanz, ...), die Jagd, Abenteuer von Kindern und Jugendlichen, Kämpfe mit feindlichen Stämmen, Begegnungen mit Weißen, ... 
 
»Waterlily ist eine einzigartige Darstellung des Lebens der Sioux-Indianer des 19. Jahrhunderts, die in ihrer Interpretation der Kultur der Prärieindianer aus der Perspektive der Frauen ihresgleichen sucht.« - Raymond J. DeMallie

Waterlily

The Sun Sister

AMAZON EDITOR'S MONTHLY PICK FOR THRILLERSBARNES AND NOBLE BEST PAPERBACKS PICKWhen Cyra Griffin's younger sister is murdered by a serial killer, Cyra knows better than to expect justice from the hands of the police department. With the investigation already dying its own slow death, Cyra follows the blood trail and finds her own way forward. Using insider information (don't ask), Cyra infiltrates a support group for serial killers by pretending to be one herself in the hopes of finding the person who ended her sister's life. Proving herself to them comes at a cost, but it's one Cyra is willing to pay in the name of revenge. But the dangerous men in the group aren't the only obstacle in Cyra's path for vengeance, and the further Cyra descends into the deadly world of serial killers, the harder it becomes to hold on to her own humanity.

Serial Killer Support Group

The debut novella from one of contemporary fiction's most exciting young voices, now in a new edition. Salem, Massachusetts, 1851: McGlue is in the hold, still too drunk to be sure of name or situation or orientation--he may have killed a man. That man may have been his best friend. Intolerable memory accompanies sobriety. A-sail on the high seas of literary tradition, Ottessa Moshfegh gives us a nasty heartless blackguard on a knife-sharp voyage through the fogs of recollection. They said I've done something wrong? . . . And they've just left me down here to starve. They'll see this inanition and be so damned they'll fall to my feet and pass up hot cross buns slathered in fresh butter and beg I forgive them. All of them . . . : the entire world one by one. Like a good priest I'll pat their heads and nod. I'll dunk my skull into a barrel of gin.

McGlue

Named one of Ten Best Books of 2025 by The Wall Street Journal Named one of Ten Best Books of 2025 by The Washington Post Named a Best Novel of 2025 by NPR and Publishers Weekly Named a Best Historical Novel of 2025 by The New York Times "A powerful and original epic . . . Deadly politics, tragic romance and dangerous sea journeys keep the drama at a spirited boil." -The New York Times "An epic of extraordinary abundance . . . modern and mythological . . . wondrous enough to endure." -The Wall Street Journal "An epic that feels less created than unearthed . . . The Wayfinder is sui generis-a tapestry of South Pacific myth, archetypal quest, political allegory, environmental jeremiad and feminist revision that feels both ancient and impossibly relevant." -The Washington Post Talking corpses, poetic parrots, and a fan that wafts the breath of life-this is the world young K¿rero finds herself thrust into when a mysterious visitor lands on her island, a place so remote its inhabitants have forgotten the word for stranger. Her people are desperate and on the brink of starvation, and the wayward stranger offers them an impossible choice: they can remain in the only home they've ever known and await the uncertainty to come, or K¿rero can join him and venture into unfamiliar waters, guided by only the night sky and his assurance of a bountiful future in the Kingdom of Tonga. What K¿rero and her people don't know is that the promised refuge is no utopia-instead, Tonga is an empire at war and on the verge of collapse, a place where brains are regularly liberated from skulls and souls get trapped in coconuts with some frequency. The perils of Tonga are compounded by a royal feud: loyalties are shifting, graves are being opened, and everyone lives in fear of a jellyfish tattoo. Here, survival can rest on a perfectly performed dance or the acceptance of a cup of kava. Together, the stranger and K¿rero embark upon an epic voyage-one that will deliver them either to salvation or to the depths of the Pacific. Evoking the grandeur of Wolf Hall and the splendor of Sh¿gun, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Adam Johnson conjures oral history, restores the natural world, and locates what's best in humanity. Toweringly ambitious and breathtakingly immersive, The Wayfinder is an instant, timeless classic.
