Carts in Marketplace:
Welcome to the April & May edition of our monthly Adult eHighlights

April and May are both amazing months for new books so I’m sure
you’ll love browsing through all the great new titles. My personal
favorites this month include Oliver Sacks’ extraordinary memoir On
the Move, Toni Morrison’s gripping new novel God Help the Child,
and Clifford Jackman’s fierce and thrilling western noir novel The
Winter Family. Jon Cryer’s memoir, So That Happened, had me
cracking up at my desk as I listened to the audiobook. All of these
great new titles (and many more) had me wishing there were more
hours in the day!

Title Highlight
By Rachel Kray
House of Echoes
Brendan Duffy
eBook: Random House
Audiobook: Books on Tape,
read by George Newbern.
My husband and I often daydream about
selling all of our possessions and buying a
little cabin in the middle of the woods in
Vermont or upstate New York. We could
read books all day and listen to music; he
could write and I could knit scarves and no
one would bother us. Well, after reading
House of Echoes, upstate New York is off
the fantasy list. Brendan Duffy scared me.
And I loved every second of it.
Ben Tierney inherits a small plot of land in the town of Swannhaven (upstate New York) from his
Grandmother. With grandiose visions of a new start and a second chance at life, he decides to move
his wife, Caroline, and two children, eight year old Charlie and a little baby nicknamed Bub, away from
the hustle and bustle of their lives in New York City. The young couple purchases a decrepit yet
magnificent centuries-old manor in Swannhaven with the intention of renovating it into a charming bed
and breakfast. But almost as soon as they arrive in this rather Podunk town, their fantasies begin
turning into the worst nightmare they could imagine.
The characters of Ben, Caroline, and Charlie are all immensely sympathetic. Ben genuinely wants to do
what is best for his family but cannot seem to grasp anything beyond his own suppressed desires.
Caroline is dealing with the loss of her job and a mean case of postpartum depression. And Charlie is a
very introverted young boy who has trouble relating to other kids and takes his fantasy life too far into his
own reality. My favorite character in the novel was the town of Swannhaven; rich with a bloody history,
dauntless resolve, and lurid secrets. All of this woven together creates a stunning novel that you won’t be
able to put down.
House of Echoes is a must-read for any and all horror fans. If you loved The Shining, this book is perfect
for you. Fans of mystery and thriller novels will also love the ‘whodunit’ aspects of the novel and everyone
will appreciate Duffy’s wonderfully crafted prose. It’s difficult to believe that this is Brendan Duffy’s first
novel – I’m profoundly anxious to see what he has in store for us next.
