FROM THE GLOBALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING
Venice, 1486. Across the lagoon lies Murano. Time flows differently here - like the glass the island''s maestros spend their lives learning to handle.
Women are not meant to work with glass, but Orsola Rosso flouts convention to save her family from ruin. She works in secret, knowing her creations must be perfect to be accepted by men. But perfection may take a lifetime.
Skipping like a stone through the centuries, we follow Orsola as she hones her craft through war and plague, tragedy and triumph, love and loss.
The beads she creates will adorn the necks of empresses and courtesans from Paris to Vienna - but will she ever earn the respect of those closest to her?
Tracy Chevalier is a master of her own craft, and The Glassmaker is vivid, inventive, spellbinding: a virtuoso portrait of a woman, a family and a city that are as everlasting as their glass.

As she heads off to the City of Lights, Diana indulges in every one of her desires - culinary, artistic, fashionable and sensual. But no holiday lasts forever and Diana must face her unresolved feelings for Oliver.
Is it possible to be married and be the spontaneous, creative, fully alive woman she rediscovered in Paris?

''A blood-soaked, gothic nightmare''
FINANCIAL TIMES
From one of our most accomplished storytellers, an extraordinary and arresting novel about a women''s asylum in the nineteenth century, and a terrifying doctor who wants to change the world.
In this harrowing story based on authentic historical documents, we follow the career of Dr. Silas Weir, ''Father of Gyno-Psychiatry,'' as he ascends from professional anonymity to national renown. Humiliated by a procedure gone terribly wrong, Weir is forced to take a position at the New Jersey Asylum for Female Lunatics, where he reigns. There, he is allowed to continue his practice, unchecked for decades, making a name for himself by focusing on women who have been neglected by the state-women he subjects to the most grotesque modes of experimentation. As he begins to establish himself as a pioneer of nineteenth-century surgery, Weir''s ambition is fueled by his obsessive fascination with a young Irish indentured servant named Brigit, who becomes not only Weir''s primary experimental subject, but also the agent of his destruction.
Narrated by Silas Weir''s eldest son, who has repudiated his father''s brutal legacy, Butcher is a unique blend of fiction and fact, a nightmare voyage through the darkest regions of the American psyche conjoined, in its startling conclusion, with unexpected romance. Once again, Joyce Carol Oates has written a spellbinding novel confirming her position as one of our celebrated American visionaries of the imagination.
When best friends Pearson and Emory find themselves on opposing sides of this new culture war, their relationship begins to fracture. And soon, Pearson's determination to cling onto the "old, bigoted way of thinking" begins to endanger her job, her safety

When a brawl at a rap festival triggers a bloody mass shooting in Mississippi, Penn Cage finds himself in a country on the brink of eruption.
