For fans of Sweetbitter and The Bear, an intoxicating debut novel set in the glamorous, exclusive, and unexpectedly raucous world of wine.

Dowden-Lord R: Lush

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.

A Novel

The Wayfinder

From USA TODAY bestselling author Chloe Liese, a clever and heartwarming rom-com that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Annabel Monaghan about two best friends who must fake a relationship for their exes. Thea and Alex have three things in common—they love food, they hate where they live, and they’re both divorced. Otherwise, they couldn’t be more different. Thea’s never cooked a day in her life. Alex is a world-class chef. Alex resents feeling stuck in his hometown. Thea resents the town for not feeling more like home. Thea and her ex are in a contentious custody battle for their dog. Alex and his ex amicably coparent their daughter. Beyond a few friends in common, a couple small-world connections (welcome to life in a mid-size city), their lives look nothing alike. Fast forward two years, and they’re truly the best of friends. No one would ever know their friendship began as a lie… Two years ago, their exes got together immediately following their divorces, and somehow, Thea and Alex found themselves spinning a spite-fueled story about being old friends and first loves. Two years later, what began as a ruse has grown into real friendship—just friendship, despite what friends and family seem to think. But when their exes invite them on a two-week, “two family” beach vacation—daughter and dog included—Alex and Thea start to wonder if this story they’ve spun might have gotten away from them, and if it’s led them to the last place they ever thought it could: a happy ending.

Happy Ending

After years spent outrunning her past, Cecília reexamines the case of a close family friend killed by a colleague and rival: her father. In 1988, shortly after Brazil reestablishes democratic rule, a state congressman is shot and killed in Porto Alegre. The main suspect: a close friend and colleague in congress, Representative Raul Matzenbacher. Many years later, Cecília Matzenbacher, his daughter, migrates from Southern Brazil to California, where she finds work as a taxidermist. Her temperament is ideally suited to this type of restoration and the careful reconstruction of a world frozen in time. But as Cecília confronts her own history and the memories of the investigation surrounding her father, her knack for composition frays. When news arrives that Raul has suffered a stroke and Cecília's chances to see him again may be limited, her past can no longer stay put, posed like a specimen behind glass. Her story emerges, the past stalking her present, threatening to derail the life she's made for herself in the United States. In sleek, arresting prose imbued with the suspense-filled edge of a true-crime thriller, Diorama cements Carol Bensimon's status as one of the most dynamic voices in contemporary Brazilian literature and demonstrates her narrative gifts at their apex. Fusing police procedural, coming-of-age story, and family drama, Diorama is a moving mystery about what and how we remember, a novel that endangers our notions of what is or isn't still alive inside all of us.

Diorama

The second volume in Stig Sæterbakken’s loosely connected “S Trilogy,” Self-Control moves from the dark portrait of codependent marriage featured in the acclaimed Siamese to a world of solitary loneliness and repression.
A middle-aged man, Andreas Feldt, feeling that he is unable to communicate with his adult daughter over the course of lunch, announces on an inexplicable whim that he is going to get a divorce. This impulsive lie does not only destroy Andreas’ conversation with his daughter, but also puts doubt in his own mind about his own existence, shaped by routine and the people around him. Faced with this virtual invisibility—no matter what actions he takes, the world seems to take no notice—Andreas is cut adrift from the certainties of his life and forced to navigate through a society where it seems everyone is only one loss of self-control away from an explosion of dissatisfaction and rage.
What follows is the awakening of a glaring suspicion of reality within our narrator’s psyche, as if he has a blind spot somewhere in his memory. Is there something he has forgotten, something he does not want to, or is not capable of remembering?

Self-Control

'Die actiongeladene Nacherzählung einer alten chinesischen Legende, klug, spannend - und wie geschaffen für unsere verrückten Zeiten.' Kirstin Chen
 Ein funkelnder, düster-komischer Roman über zwei Schwestern - eine aus New York, eine aus Singapur -, die ein jahrhundertealtes Geheimnis teilen. 

 Su führt ein behütetes, wohlhabendes Leben als perfekte Ehefrau eines konservativen Politikers in Singapur. Ihre Schwester Emerald dagegen lebt in New York als lebenslustiges Sugarbaby, folgt jeder Laune und verlässt sich auf ihren Charme, um über die Runden zu kommen. Doch die beiden ungleichen Frauen verbindet ein Geheimnis: Einst waren sie Schlangen, die sich im China der Tang-Dynastie unter dem Vollmond wanden.
 

 Tausend Jahre später ist diese geteilte Vergangenheit das Einzige, was sie noch verbindet. Als Emerald in New York in eine gewaltsame Auseinandersetzung gerät, fliegt Su zu ihr - und langsam nähern sich die Schwestern wieder an. Su überredet Emerald, nach Singapur zu ziehen, um sie im Blick zu behalten. Doch Emeralds ungezähmtes Wesen droht bald, sie beide zu enttarnen. Und in Singapur, wo alles wie am Schnürchen läuft und jede Abweichung verdächtig ist, wäre das brandgefährlich.
 

 Scharfsinnig, witzig und voller Emotionen erzählt 'Sister Snake' von sexueller Selbstbestimmung, gesellschaftlichen Zwängen und den vielen Formen von Familie - eine literarische Reise von der Tang-Dynastie bis in die Gegenwart, von wilden Orchideen zu Designerbrands, von schneller Liebe zu selbstgewählten Beziehungen.
 Eine radikal moderne Neuinterpretation der 'Legende von der weißen Schlange' - und eine schillernde Meditation darüber, was es bedeutet, wirklich frei zu leben.

Sister Snake

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. Finalist for the 2026 Barnes &amp; Noble Discover Prize. A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Dua Lipa's Service95 Book Club Pick for August 2026. Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize. "Extremely smart, impossibly funny, and just plain fun to read-this book hums with a brilliant, lunatic energy all its own. I finished it in a day." -Caro Claire Burke, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Yesteryear "Laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly moving. Lost Lambs is both a blistering satire of our present moment and a compassionate portrait of a family trying to stay human in Musk's America." -Paul Murray, bestselling author of The Bee Sting "Madeline Cash is a voice like no other." -Lena Dunham Rippling with humor, warmth, and style, Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction. The Flynn family is coming undone. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has reached its breaking point as their daughters spiral in their own chaotic orbits: Abigail, the eldest, is dating a man in his twenties nicknamed War Crimes Wes; Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist; the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone-or something-is monitoring the town's citizens. Casting a shadow across their lives, and their small coastal town, is Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate. Rumors of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with a mysterious shipping container exposes a criminal conspiracy that unwittingly endangers her family-a crisis that just may bring them closer together. Irreverent and addictive, pinging between the voices of the Flynns and the characters around them, Madeline Cash's Lost Lambs is a debut novel of quick-witted observation and surprising tenderness. In it, Cash has crafted a family saga for the twenty-first century, all held together with crazy glue.

Eine deutsch-deutsche Fluchtkoffervisite

Johannes Bollfeger nimmt sich das Leben (und noch ein bisschen mehr)

Part ghost story, part love story and steeped in magical realism, Paper Ghosts will transport you to a place where old secrets echo through the years and love finds a way of bringing us home. Every family has its secrets . . .The Wester women live inside theirs. For decades, the women of Wester House have unsettled and fascinated their small, timeless North Carolina town. Their home is full of whispers, old griefs, and uncanny knowing. But when Willamena Wester reaches out to the granddaughter she once pushed away, long-buried truths begin to stir. 1976: Restless young Willamena falls for a stranded musician who brings freedom and the promise of another life to her carefully controlled world. Their brief, incandescent love story promises to escape the pull of the Wester legacy until Willamena makes a fateful choice that changes her life forever. Present day: Returning home is the last thing Bailey Wester wants. Yet as she reconnects with Willamena, the grandmother she feared, Bailey begins to understand the love, heartbreak, and impossible choices that shaped the women in her family and realizes the past may not have been trying to haunt them after all. A luminous novel filled with Sarah Addison Allen's stunning prose and signature blend of romance, Southern charm, and wonder, Paper Ghosts reminds us that in order to have the future we really want, sometimes we need to live with the past, and not let go of it.

Mean Moms

National USA Today Bestseller! "The ideal beach read ... an irresistible mix of glamorous, thought-provoking and sexy. ...

And it's this chance second meeting that will upend Cecilia's life. Seeing Anouk again forces Cecilia to revisit their brief time together and question where she truly fits in. Can the renewed intensity of her explosive physical and emotional entanglement with Anouk finally give her an answer? Heartbreakingly real and emotionally layered, Crash Into Me illuminates the unexpected detours that change our lives forever.

Crash Into Me

Ultraviolett Roman

Ein kühnes Spiel zwischen Fiktion und Realität, in dem Obsession und Kunst zu einem tödlichen Tanz verschmelzen. 

 Das Leben eines Theatermenschen gerät völlig aus den Fugen, als der gefeierte Regisseur Mirko Lossewsky ein gewagtes Experiment wagt: Er zwingt seine Schauspieler in eine Inszenierung ohne Grenzen zwischen Bühne und Wirklichkeit. Der junge Martin Sterngrad, für die Hauptrolle im mysteriösen Stück "Eternos" ausgewählt, wird zum Gefangenen eines brillanten Wahns. In der surrealen Stadt des ewigen Lebens verschwimmen die Konturen seiner Identität, während er immer tiefer in das Labyrinth aus Macht, Sehnsucht und Verrat eintaucht.

 

 Während Martin um sein Selbst ringt, offenbart sich das erschreckende Geheimnis hinter Lossewskys Vision: Seine Schauspieler sind mehr als nur Darsteller - sie werden zu lebenden Marionetten in seinem perfiden Spiel. Die Warnungen der Maskenbildnerin Dorothea verhallen ungehört, als das Theater zur Falle wird, aus der es kein Entrinnen gibt.
 

 Für Fans von Arthur Schnitzlers "Der grüne Kakadu", Erin Morgensterns "Der Nachtzirkus" oder Christopher Nolans "Inception" - ein meisterhafter Roman über die zerstörerische Macht der Kunst und die dünne Linie zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn.

Ein atemberaubendes Spiel zwischen Realität und Fiktion

ETERNOS

Mathilde ist jung, schön, voller Träume - und entschlossen, in den sechziger Jahren ein anderes Leben zu führen. Zusammen mit vier Studenten gründet sie in Hamburg eine WG, in der Besitz, Treue und Familie abgeschafft gehören. Freie Liebe, Kunst und Revolution sollen das alte Denken vertreiben. 1967 wird Johanna geboren - das "Gemeinschaftskind" einer Generation, die glaubte, die Welt neu zu erfinden.
Fünfzig Jahre später fragt sich Johanna, was von all den Idealen geblieben ist. Sie sieht ihre Mutter altern, die Männer verschwinden, die Träume verfliegen - und spürt, wie schwer es ist, das eigene Leben zu begreifen.
Carin Abicht erzählt mit Witz, Zärtlichkeit und präziser Ironie vom Glanz und Scheitern einer Zeit, in der alles möglich schien - und von den Töchtern, die mit den Träumen ihrer Eltern weiterleben müssen.
