Mancini R: The Day I Lost You

The Day I Lost You

An exuberant, brutally hilarious novel about a young woman’s insatiable quest to carve her own path—even if she needs to step over a few dead bodies along the wayIt’s 1974 and San Francisco is full of mystery and menace. Nineteen-year-old Celia Dent keeps telling herself how lucky she is to be working at a steady job and married to her Drew, a man who says he loves her. Celia’s contentment with her little life is shattered, though, when a woman she knows from work is murdered in a love tryst gone awry. What would that be like, Celia wonders, to die for love—or to kill for love? What would it be like to live each moment passionately and with full awareness that each breath is bringing her closer to her last?Before Celia knows it, her musings about love-and-death happenings are bleeding into daily life. Suddenly she’s playing hooky from work and searching for a love tryst of her very own. She’s practicing her marksmanship at a local gun range and thinking about how good it would feel to bury something sharp inside her domineering husband’s ear. It’s all pretend, though, until the night comes when Celia finally goes too far, and she and Drew are set on a deadly collision course.Exhilarating, surreal, and bitingly clever,&nbsp;Evil Genius&nbsp;is a comic noir exploring obsession and desire—and&nbsp;what&nbsp;happens&nbsp;when a sweetly seditious young woman dares to imagine a better life.

The First Grant County Thriller

Blindsighted

From the&nbsp;New York Times bestselling author of&nbsp;The Nest and&nbsp;Good Company&nbsp;comes a wry and tender portrait of two families forever changed by one lovestruck decision that will reverberate for decades.It’s 1977 and an air of restlessness has settled on the residents of Cambridge Road in Rochester, New York, a place long fueled by the booming fortunes of Kodak and Xerox and, for some, the mores of the Catholic church. When Nina Larkin is given a copy of&nbsp;The Joy of Sex&nbsp;by her newly divorced friend, she can no longer dismiss the nearly nonexistent intimacy of her marriage. Just as her oldest child, Clara, is falling in love for the first time, Nina finds herself longing for the forbidden: a midlife awakening. An intoxicating fling with a prominent neighbor brings Nina a freedom she never thought possible—but also risks the reputations of both families and unravels Clara’s world, just as she stands on the threshold of adulthood.Years later, Clara, now a successful food stylist in New York City, has never been able to move past the long-ago scandal. Drawn back home by the pull of a family wedding and wrestling with her own demons, she makes a pivotal decision that turns her life upside down.&nbsp;Written with Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s signature humor and insight,&nbsp;Lake Effect is a wise and probing look at love and desire, mothers and daughters, loss and grief, and what we owe the people we love most.&nbsp;

The conservative estimate of the number of Ukrainian children kidnapped since Putin’s large scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 is currently 20,000. The author was inspired to write about these events to raise awareness while something can still be done: “I never knew my paternal grandparents because they died at Auschwitz.&nbsp;Growing up, when I asked my teachers why nothing had been done to stop the camps, invariably the answer was&nbsp;we didn’t know. When I learned about the large scale, systematic deportation of Ukrainian children I decided to write a novel about it. That way, those who will read it will not be able to say&nbsp;we didn’t know.”
