Helle H: They

They

Let the Great World Spin meets My Name Is Lucy Barton in this novel set aboard an aging cruise ship bound for Bermuda, where growing tensions lead three strangers to confront their past regrets and imagine different futures. It’s Sunday, September 16, 2001. Franny and her husband have traded in their elegant Park Avenue co-op for a suite on board the Sonata, a once-glittering cruise ship with a complicated history now long past its prime. Though they’re not “cruise people,” Franny is determined to host the trip as planned because it’s her mother’s seventieth birthday, or chilsun, a major rite of passage celebrated by Korean families. But as her husband keeps pointing out, Franny and her mother aren’t close, and it is surreal—even wrong—to be on a cruise as the death toll from the attacks on 9/11 continues to rise. Also on board is Doug, an aging actor and former star of Starlight Voyages, the hit Love Boat–style television series famously filmed on the Sonata. With few professional prospects, a now sober Doug has reluctantly joined his former castmates on a reunion cruise for fans of the show, but he dreads the dark specter of his past misdeeds. Meanwhile, Lucy, the only Black female graduate student in her department at MIT, has uncharacteristically accepted an invitation to join her roommate on the cruise during the height of recruitment season. Lucy’s impulsive decision reflects her growing ambivalence about the tech companies that are trying to hire her, including a new one with a strange-sounding name, Google. All the World Can Hold beautifully explores how we balance our needs and our wants, as well as the regrets we live with and the chances to set them right. And though it’s not a 9/11 novel, it does remind us that while the great world spins, the interpersonal dramas don’t cease, even as more dire ones play out in the larger world.

All the World Can Hold

"An astonishing debut as mesmerizing as it is unnerving." --Joyce Carol Oates A day-in-the-life debut novel about a fading socialite on the hunt for someone to kill her before her next SoulCycle class. "A tale of suspense, a statement, a cry for help, and a delicious tour-de-force." --Nell Zink New York City, 2014. Agnes Maurer seeks a willing murderer and wonders what she should wear. Candidates include: an icy magazine editor with a special cutlery set; an eccentric designer from her past; and Agnes's cruel novelist boyfriend. As she Ubers from Upper East Side shopping to Craigslist gun deals, Agnes' desperation becomes an exhibition, a swan song of millennial sexuality as internalized abuse and consummate style, with the knob righty-tightened all the way. Newton's prose is disturbingly fun, relentless, shattering. A crafted study of existential despair that culminates in a worthy, intense denouement.

Agnes Lives!

Malén Denis's Lithium is a novel about what cannot be fully named or pinned down. "Language in this book," the author notes, "acts as a pharmakon-both poison and remedy-inviting the reader to navigate its ambivalence. I wrote it by following the golden thread of poetry and the echoes of psychoanalysis, letting the images lead rather than the plot." Lithium employs an especially potent, poetic language to convey love found and love lost (I'm waiting for news from you). It is a book blazing with bruised perceptions of the precarity of a life lived between jobs and between homes; it's a feverish work swinging from hope to despair, about trying drugs both prescribed and not, about migration, about cat-sitting, and about isolation, about the search for meaning and for happiness when both prove so elusive, and it is about summoning the strength to wrench oneself from indecision to action.

Lithium

A breathtaking second-chance, forced proximity romance following two dancers as they navigate heartbreak, healing, and hope, featuring stunning stenciled edges. Getting into the New England School of Ballet is everything Zoe has ever wanted. But it comes with a cost—seeing Jase again. The boy who once knew every piece of her heart. The boy she hasn’t spoken to in a year. The boy who still doesn’t know the real reason she pushed him away. For Jase, Zoe’s sudden reappearance is like a punch to the gut. He’s already juggling enough—parents who don’t believe in his dream of dancing, the pressure to prove himself at the academy, and the ache of everything he’s lost. The last thing he needs is Zoe showing up and unraveling the careful walls he’s built around himself. But when they’re paired as dance partners, avoiding each other is no longer an option. Every step they take together brings back the past—the hidden notes, the whispered secrets, the electric connection that never really went away. And with it comes the memory of the night that shattered everything between them. As the lines between their shared history and their unspoken pain blur, Zoe and Jase have to decide: will they finally face the truth of what happened, or will the weight of their secrets keep them apart for good?

Hold Me

Do you ever feel that life isn't going to plan? When Alice Thorington collapses in the street after a particularly hellish day at work, she must finally admit to herself that her outwardly happy life - steady relationship, well-paid job, beautiful flat in the city - isn't everything she'd hoped it would be. Burnt out by long hours and living a life that doesn't fulfil her dreams, Alice returns home to Yorkshire. Her childhood home brings complicated family dynamics, a rediscovery of her passion for stargazing and two new friends: Berti, a boy who finds it easier to count the stars than interact with people, and Matt, her brother's best friend and Alice's teenage crush. With each of them facing their own struggles, can the stars that meant so much to Alice in her past help them to find their way in the present? Filled with heart and warmth, this uplifting novel reminds us all that we need the darkness if we want to see the stars.

See the Stars

From the USA TODAY bestselling authors of the Witchlore series, Hazel Beck, comes the first book in a cozy, autumnal horror romance duology set in a seemingly charming Midwestern town&nbsp;that harbors a deep, dark plot at its core—one that could spell the end of its two newest arrivals if they can’t unravel the secrets woven into their late grandmother’s yarn shop. Home is where the haunt is. Lexi Darling has always been a city girl through and through. New York is loud, crowded, and just chaotic enough to keep her mind off everything she’d rather not think about—especially the eerily realistic nightmares that have plagued her all her life. So when she and her twin brother, Logan, are summoned to the postcard-perfect town of Midas, Iowa, one golden October to handle an inheritance from the grandmother they never knew, Lexi figures it’ll be a quick detour: sign a few papers, snap a fall foliage selfie, and catch the next flight home. But Midas has other plans. The town has been waiting for the Darling twins, and it’s not about to let them leave. Their arrival stirs up a centuries-old curse, one that promises something dark and hungry will rise again by Halloween night. And the key to stopping it might just lie in their family’s mysterious past. Now, trapped in Midas with the shadows closing in, Lexi has to team up with a group of stubborn locals to save the town…including Jack, the grumpy-but-unfairly attractive diner owner who drives her crazy in all the wrong ways. As the nights grow longer and an uncanny evil creeps closer, Lexi must uncover the truth behind the curse before Midas—and everyone in it—is consumed. Because in Midas, some secrets refuse to stay buried—and some nightmares never end. Perfect for fans of:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Slowburn Enemies to Lovers</li> <li>Grumpy x Sunshine</li> <li>Family Secrets</li> <li>Found Family</li> <li>A Cursed Tourist "Trap" Town</li> <li>Midwest Charm with a Twist...of a Knife</li></ul>

Seasons of Glass and Iron

'Louise Wallace writes the excruciating and transformative with such precision it's almost impossible to believe. This is a razor-sharp novel: claustrophobic and expansive at once, full of terror and dark humor.' Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet'Bruising, beautiful and uncompromising in the way that it explores anger, anxiety, motherhood and womanhood.' Daisy Buchanan, author of Careering'As poetic as it is experimental . . . this is a novel you'll consume in one sitting.'

The first book in beloved Amish novelist Linda Byler's Seekers series. As a young man growing up in an Amish family, Amos struggles to fit in. Slow in school, overweight, and afflicted with terrible acne, he feels he's a constant disappointment to his mother, sisters, teachers, and employers. Convinced that he will never be good enough for them, he leaves home and accepts a job as a live-in groundskeeper for an “English” (non-Amish) couple. Gradually, he moves toward a healthier, more confident version of himself. But he can't leave behind the fact that living as an English person—driving a pickup truck, sporting short hair and a flannel button-up shirt—is the greatest disappointment to his family yet. When Amos meets Skye, he's drawn to her refreshingly forthright mannerisms. With her camouflage baseball cap and love of the outdoors, she's fun and free in ways that only an English girl can be. And then there's Anna, a young Amish woman who is sweet and kind and unmistakably cute. In fact, she's special enough to make him wonder if he could go back to the Amish life to be with her. But how could he do that with any kind of sincerity, given he's not even sure he believes in God? Author Linda Byler is an active member of the Amish church and writes all her novels by hand with a pen and notebook. She offers a unique and fascinating look into Amish history and culture.

Pack your bags for a summer journey shaped by family secrets, long-buried history, and charming men with Irish accents. Maeve and Therese Dunigan haven't spoken in years. Raised under the same roof in Savannah, the two sisters could not be more opposite-Maeve the rule follower, Therese the unapologetic rebel. But when their mother's death pulls them back together, they inherit more than just grief: a mysterious painting that may be worth millions...if it's real. Determined to uncover the truth-and desperately in need of the money-the sisters set out on a journey to Ireland, tracing their family's roots and the origins of the portrait. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something deeper-a reckoning with the past, as they uncover secrets that span generations and reshape everything they thought they knew about their family. With tensions simmering, the two hit the road and find themselves on twisty lanes, in colorful villages, at local pubs, and with handsome men whose gift of the gab is surpassed only by their charm.
