Eight years ago, Emma Montague left behind the strict
confines of her upper-crust English life and moved to New
York City, where she immediately found success in the
world of finance. But her soulless, cut-throat, all-consuming
job has only led to another life she didn't want. Answering
an online ad, Emma finds a tiny beach cottage to rent in the
small town of Westport, Connecticut. It needs work - lots of
work. But it's the perfect project to satisfy Emma's passion
for interior design and gardening, if her new landlord,
Dominic, is agreeable to the small changes she yearns to
make. To Emma, Dominic is also something of a fixerupper. A local handyman with a six-year-old son, he's a
world away from the men she should be interested in, but
he's comfortable in his own skin, confident, quiet and kind.

imagined - one that will force him to confront the darkest

Soper imprisoned the infamous Typhoid Mary after she
spread sickness and death in Manhattan's most privileged
quarters. George's great-granddaughter, Karalee, and her
fellow graduate students in public health know that story.
But as they poke in and out of the macabre hospital rooms
of abandoned North Brother Island: Hidden evil watches
over them - and plots against them. When death visits Hell
Gate, it comes to stay. Soon five students of history will
learn the meaning of spine-tingling cries down the corridor,
of mysterious fires, of disfiguring murder, and of an
avenging presence so sinister they'd rather risk their lives
than face the terror of one more night.

Daniel Nadler
Katharine Towers
Lacunae, Daniel Nadler's debut collection, is an exercise
in poetics of vital import. In it, Nadler imagines himself into
those moments of unintelligibility - that blank space in
between things - where constraint and expansion coincide.
These poems, translations of work that does not otherwise
exist, are intended to fill the invented or actual lacunae in
manuscripts of classical Indian poetry. When faced with
such ellipses, like where a few decisive hieroglyphs have
worn off a wall, he infers and reconstructs the flora, fauna,
and pleasures of an ancient world. Lacunae, deeply felt
and gnomically wise, dares to pave a poetic landscape all
its own, the work of a remarkable new poet with enormous
ambition and ability.

In the 1970s, Diana Nyad was widely regarded as the
greatest long-distance swimmer in the world and set many
world records, such as circling Manhattan Island and
crossing the 102.5 miles between the Bahamas and
Florida. But one record continually eluded her: becoming
the first woman to swim between Cuba and the Florida
Keys without a shark cage. Finally, in September 2013,
after four failed attempts and at the age of sixty-four,
Diana completed the crossing after two days and two
nights of continuous swimming - 53 consecutive hours,
110 miles. Millions of people watched her and cried and
cheered and were dazzled and amazed by her tenacity
and courage. This memoir is a dramatic, page-turning
account of the epic endurance quest that led to that
moment, and is also a galvanizing call to live life boldly, inthe-moment, fearlessly, passionately, with no regrets.

Chen Guangcheng
It was like a scene out of a thriller: one morning in April
2012, China's most famous political activist - a blind, selftaught lawyer - climbed over the wall of his heavily
guarded home and escaped. For days, his whereabouts
remained unknown; after he turned up at the American
embassy in Beijing, a furious round of high-level
negotiations finally led to his release and a new life in the
United States. Chen Guangcheng is a unique figure on the
world stage, but his story is even more remarkable than
we knew. The son of a poor farmer in rural China, blinded
by illness when he was an infant, Chen was fortunate to
survive a difficult childhood. But despite his disability, he
was determined to educate himself and fight for the rights
of his country's poor, especially a legion of women who
had endured forced sterilizations under the hated 'one
child' policy.

For as long as the University of Cambridge has existed, so
have the staircase girls. Also known as bedmakers or
bedders, they became close to their charges; mothering,
chastising, and sometimes covering up for the young men,
some of whom would go on to become household names.
For much of the twentieth century, women like Joyce,
Nance, Maud and Ann lived in some of the poorest streets
in Cambridge. They endured the Second World War and
then had to contend with poverty, ill health and
bereavement. They loved, lost and loved again. Though
they experienced great hardship, every day their work in
the Colleges took them into an extraordinarily privileged
world, quite different from their own.

Katharine Towers' second collection, The Remedies, is a
book of small wonders: from a house drowning in roses to
crickets on an August day, from Nerval's lobster to the
surrealism of flower remedies, these poems explore the
fragility of our relationship with the natural world. Towers
also shows us what relationship can aspire to be: each
poem attunes us to another aspect of that world, and
shows what strangeness and wonder might be revealed
when we properly attend to it. The result is a lyric,
unforgettable collection which offers just the spiritual
assuagement its title promises - and shows Katharine
Towers developing into a major poetic talent.
Frank Shorter is considered by many to be the father of
the American running boom. Shorter won the Olympic
marathon more than two minutes ahead of the secondplace finisher at the 1972 Munich Games. Four years later
he finished a controversial second in the Olympic
marathon in Montreal (the controversy revolved around
the East German "winner" being a possible drug cheat).
He founded the United States Anti-Doping Agency
(USADA), where later he would involve himself in the
investigation of Lance Armstrong. But what many don't
know about Frank Shorter-including some of his biggest
fans-is that he and his siblings suffered horrific physical
and emotional abuse at the hands of their father. Written
with noted sportswriter John Brant, this revealing and
inspiring memoir is a testament to the resiliency of the
human spirit and the transformative power of sport.

Yoshihiro Tatsumi
Craig Pittman
Drawn in 1971 and 1972, these stories expand Yoshihiro
Tatsumi's prolific artist's vocabulary for characters
contextualised by themes of depravity and disorientation in
twentieth-century Japan. Some of the tales focus on the
devastation the country felt as a result of World War II: in
one story a man devotes twenty years to preserving the
memory of those killed at Hiroshima, only to discover a
horrible misconception at the heart of his tribute. Yet, while
American influence does play a role in the disturbing and
bizarre stories contained within this volume, as always it is
Tatsumi's characters that bear his hallmark, muddling
through isolated despair and fleeting pleasure to live out
their darkly nuanced lives.

descendants of the Van Helsing lineage, she's trained to
destroy monsters both corporeal and spiritual. With an
analog SLR camera as her best weapon, Micheline
exorcises ghosts by capturing their energy on film. She's
aided by Oliver, a techno-whiz; Jude, who can predict
death; and Ryder, the boy she's loved forever. When a
ghost hunt goes awry, Micheline and the boys are infected
with a curse called a soulchain. Micheline learns that if she
doesn't exorcise in seven days, she and her friends will
die. Now pursued as a renegade agent by her monsterhunting father, Leonard Helsing, she must track and
destroy an entity more powerful than anything she's faced
before . . . or die trying.

To outsiders, Florida seems baffling. It's a state where the
voters went for Barack Obama twice, yet elected a Tea
Party candidate as governor. Florida is touted as a carefree paradise, yet it's also known for its perils - alligators,
sinkholes, pythons, hurricanes, and sharks, to name a
few. It attracts 90 million visitors a year, some drawn by its
impressive natural beauty, others bewitched by its manmade fantasies. Oh, Florida! explores those
contradictions and shows how they fit together to make
this the most interesting state. It is the first book to explore
the reasons why Florida is so wild and weird - and why
that's okay. Florida couldn't be Florida without that sense
of the unpredictable, unexpected, and unusual lurking
behind every palm tree. But there is far more to Florida
than its sideshow freakiness. Oh, Florida! explains how
Florida secretly, subtly influences all the other states in the
Union, both for good and for ill.

horns-are down-to earth, fun-loving teenagers who

matters worse, the magical girl's victims reanimate and
join her killer rampage. Is there no way out of school for
