Erskine W: The Benefactors

The Benefactors

'So fresh, so sharp, so wry, so alive' Lucy Caldwell

New York Times bestselling author Pamela Redmond returns with a propulsive family drama about a woman of a certain age whose picture-perfect California life gets turned upside down. Sixty-something Helena Drummond rules the roost at her Santa Barbara compound. Clad in her go-to black cashmere sweaters and wide linen pants, she keeps close tabs on her three grown sons, the property, and her massively successful skincare company, which she wishes hadn't gotten quite so big. When she was a single mother, trying to find a place to live, and stumbling onto the cottage with her young son, Oscar, she had such an idealistic vision for the products. Speaking of which, where was Oscar? Helena's well-orchestrated world cracks open at the seams when Oscar doesn't show up at her A-list relaunch party. His wife and kids are there, yes (and almost on time), and his brothers. So where could he be? What happens next uproots Helena's life in every way: her relationships, her control, her love, her friendships, her legacy, and her business. In a breathless narrative that mixes a police investigation with an eccentric cast of characters--a long-lost love reappearing late in life, a minimalist millionaire, cherished children, an Irish nanny, a former movie star, the local real estate celebrity, and even the security guards at the iron gate--The Matriarch will draw you in and leave you wanting more. Just like Helena would want it.

The Matriarch

'A beautiful and important book' The TimesOn the day that Jacob, an Anglo-Dutch trader, agrees to accept a slave in lieu of payment for a debt from a plantation owner, little Florens's life changes irrevocably. With her keen intelligence and passion for wearing the cast-off shoes of her mistress, Florens has never blurred into the background and now at the age of eight she is uprooted from her family to begin a new life with a new master. She ends up part of Jacob's household, along with his wife Rebekka, Lina their Native American servant, and the enigmatic Sorrow who was rescued from a shipwreck. Together these women face the trials of their harsh environment as Jacob attempts to carve out a place for himself in the brutally unforgiving landscape of North America in the seventeenth century. 'Toni Morrison is the greatest chronicler of the American experience that we have ever known' Tayari Jones, New York TimesBY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF BELOVEDWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction

OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&nbsp;• SUBJECT OF A SIX-PART SUPER SOUL PODCAST SERIES HOSTED BY OPRAH WINFREY&nbsp;From the New York Times-bestselling author of Cutting for Stone comes a stunning and magisterial epic of love, faith, and medicine, set in Kerala, South India, following three generations of a family seeking the answers to a strange secret“One of the best books I’ve read in my entire life. It’s epic. It’s transportive . . . It was unputdownable!”—Oprah Winfrey, OprahDaily.comThe Covenant of Water&nbsp;is the long-awaited new novel by Abraham Verghese, the author of the major word-of-mouth bestseller Cutting for Stone, which has sold over 1.5 million copies in the United States alone and remained on the New York Times&nbsp;bestseller list for over two years. 
Spanning the years 1900 to 1977,&nbsp;The Covenant of Water&nbsp;is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, known as Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.
A shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water&nbsp;is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. It is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.

Monkey Williams

In Heart, Be at Peace, which can be read independently, Donal picks up the twenty-one voices from The Spinning Heart ten years on, in 2019. Small-town Ireland is a different place, the economy having recovered from the economic crash that served as a backdrop to the events in that book. Now the work is back, the dramas have all seemingly died down, the dark days of recession and struggle are over. But a new menace is creeping around the lakeshore and the lanes of the town, old grudges are festering and new ones are rising, and the peace of the community is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way. Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy none of them can touch.

The Healers

A saga of young hands at a silk-making facility, a gripping tale of hope, friendship and loss.

In southern India, in 1992, silkworms feed on Mulberry leaves and spin cocoons of silk. Six days a week, twelve hours a day, fourteen-year-old Manju and his friend Shiva toil in the brutal confines of the Factory, which runs under the merciless leadership of Pandu. Lives improve for the two boys when they cross paths with Sunil, a city-bred lad whose family owns the silk business. Sunil, who is battling his own demons, finds unexpected comfort in the company of his new-found friends. However, menacing currents within the Factory continue to simmer under the surface, and things rapidly come to a head. Little Hands of Silk is a novel of loss—loss of empathy, of innocence, of life itself, but it’s also a tale of hope and friendship that blooms as an antidote to the surrounding evil.
