On the eve of his 43rd birthday, London divorce attorney Nicholas Lyon is still in love with his wife of 10 years, Malinche, and adores their three young daughters. He is surprised, then, to find himself immediately and intensely drawn to Sara Kaplan, the lovely young associate who has just been hired at his firm. Sara sees nothing wrong with acting on her lust for Nicholas; having witnessed her friends’ complicated and painful entanglements with married men, she promises herself that she is only going to borrow him. In the chaotic aftermath of the London subway bombing, Sara and Nicholas begin what they fool themselves into thinking is only a brief affair, one that quickly spirals out of control.

Life changes in an instant. On a foggy beach. In the seconds when Abby Mason—photographer, fiancée soon-to-be-stepmother—looks into her camera and commits her greatest error. Heartbreaking, uplifting, and beautifully told, here is the riveting tale of a family torn apart, of the search for the truth behind a child’s disappearance, and of one woman’s unwavering faith in the redemptive power of love—all made startlingly fresh through Michelle Richmond’s incandescent sensitivity and extraordinary insight.Six-year-old Emma vanished into the thick San Francisco fog. Or into the heaving Pacific. Or somewhere just beyond: to a parking lot, a stranger’s van, or a road with traffic flashing by. Devastated by guilt, haunted by her fears about becoming a stepmother, Abby refuses to believe that Emma is dead. And so she searches for clues about what happened that morning—and cannot stop the flood of memories reaching from her own childhood to illuminate that irreversible moment on the beach.Now, as the days drag into weeks, as the police lose interest and fliers fade on telephone poles, Emma’s father finds solace in religion and scientific probability—but Abby can only wander the beaches and city streets, attempting to recover the past and the little girl she lost. With her life at a crossroads, she will leave San Francisco for a country thousands of miles away. And there, by the side of another sea, on a journey that has led her to another man and into a strange subculture of wanderers and surfers, Abby will make the most astounding discovery of all—as the truth of Emma’s disappearance unravels with stunning force.A profoundly original novel of family, loss, and hope—of the choices we make and the choices made for us—The Year of Fog beguiles with the mysteries of time and memory even as it lays bare the deep and wondrous workings of the human heart. The result is a mesmerizing tour de force that will touch anyone who knows what it means to love a child.From the Hardcover edition.

It is New Year’s Eve when the storm of the century hits northern California. In a quiet neighborhood in San Francisco, amid the chaos of fallen trees and damaged homes, the lives of three strangers are about to collide. For Quinn Thompson, what happens in the storm’s wake will bring down a barrier he has built around himself since his wife’s death. For neighbor Maggie Dartman, it will spark friendship at a time when she needs it most. And for Jack Adams, a carpenter who will repair Quinn’s and Maggie’s homes, the storm brings an opportunity: to help two people and to be repaid with the greatest gift of all.

As three lives come together and a unique friendship is forged, something extraordinary begins to happen…Maggie, still grieving a loss, slowly comes alive again-and Jack finally shares a painful secret he has hidden for years. But at the center of the friendship is Quinn. A man who has scaled heights of success in business, Quinn is now adrift, waiting as builders put the finishing touches on his newest passion, a 180-foot yacht he plans to sail around the world. Looking back at all he missed with his family while he built his empire, Quinn is consumed by guilt, focused only on escaping to the sea. But as his plans near completion, and his friendship with Maggie begins to change, Quinn faces a choice-between a safe haven and an adventure of the heart. The choice he makes will affect other lives as powerfully as his own. And it will take him on an extraordinary journey-and into a second, terrifying storm, one that will bring him danger…or deliverance.

In The Ghost, Danielle Steel has brilliantly interwoven past and present in a timeless novel of courage, history and love.

With a wife he loves and an exciting London-based career, Charles Waterston is quite unprepared for the sudden end to his ten-year marriage – and his unwanted transfer to the New York office. With nothing left to lose, and with Christmas approaching, Charlie takes leave of absence and drives through New England, hoping to make peace with himself. A sudden, blinding snowstorm strands him in a small town, where an elderly widow offers to rent him an exquisite lakeside chateau hidden deep in the woods. From the moment he sets foot inside, Charlei feels the presence of Sarah, the beautiful young woman who lived and died there two centuries ago – and on Christmas Eve, he glimpses her for the first time. At first he thinks it is a trick, until he finds her diaries hidden away in an old trunk and, as he turns the brittle, dusty pages and learns more about Sarah, she starts to come alive for him.

From her arrival in America in 1789, Sarah writes of her harrowing flight from England and her determination to start a new life in the vast new world. She meets a French nobleman who transforms her life, and their fateful union has a love so powerful that it reaches across the centuries. Her story gives Charlie the courage to let go of his past, and the freedom to grasp a future that is right before his eyes.

Two backcountry skiers find the body of a young woman embedded in the ice of a remote mountain creek. All through the night, police work with arc lights and chain saws to dig her out. But identification doesn’t take as long. Abbie Cooper is wanted for murder and acts of eco-terrorism, and her picture is on law-enforcement computers all across America. But just how did she die? And what was the trail of events that led this joyous, golden child of a loving family so tragically astray?

In a journey of discovery and redemption, from the streets of New York to the daunting grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, The Divide delves into the dynamics of a fractured family and their struggle with the pain of lost happiness. Electrifying and heartbreaking, master storyteller Nicholas Evans’s new novel delivers an extraordinary tale about the timeless power of nature, and about the yearnings, hopes, and disillusionments that connect-and separate -all men and women.

One woman is an ex-beauty queen, one is a recovering addict to virtue, one is an artist. The man of the big old house on the hill, Philip Lawrence, is suddenly dead. These things happen. LUCK is not a murder mystery. But Philip’s silent overnight departure is bound to have its effects on the household. The abruptly widowed Nora, an artist whose recent works have caused a fundamentalist furore in the town where they live, is unexpectedly confronted by solo life in a place she despises. Beth, the wispy, beautiful model who specializes in brewing curative teas, comes face to face with her own history with mortality. Sophie, a former overseas aid volunteer shattered by trauma, who has spent four years in the household performing dull chores, one task at a time, will have to find new ways to resist old compulsions. Joan Barfoot’s previous work has been praised for its wit, empathy and even its wisdom. With LUCK she turns her typically aslant eye, her voice of sly comedy, and her demanding attention, to three extreme women confronted by that extreme inevitability, death itself.

Voyage is the dramatic and passionate story of Jake and Harriet, two very strong-willed people, who meet on board ship and start a relationship which is to take them through a lifetime of stormy seas intermingled with safe harbours. Harriet, a plain and dowdy-English woman rises to become one of the wealthiest in the world when, through her marriage to an irascible old man, she inherits an international chain of hotels. Jake, the notorious renegade, turns her into the polished, sexy businesswoman who becomes the envy of millions of women throughout the world.

Moving from America to the Caribeean, from New York to a small English village Voyage spans more than twenty years in the life of this remarkable couple who, too similar to live happily together, find themselves unable to survive apart.

When you work for a T.O.D. (short for Tyrannical Office Despot… also known as Amy Jenkins, Director of the Human Resources Division at the New York Journal, New York City’s leading photo-newspaper), and your musician boyfriend of ten years has just announced that he can’t commit to a long term relationship because he has to take it “one day at a time”, and your best girlfriend is on fertility drugs because she and her husband can’t seem to get pregnant, and your mother is driving cross country in an RV with a younger man, and you can’t seem to be able to find an affordable studio apartment anywhere in the five boroughs, it might seem like things can’t get any worse. They can. Because the T.O.D. might make you fire Ida Lopez, the most popular employee in the paper’s senior staff dining room. And Ida might sue for wrongful termination. And you might just find yourself giving a deposition in front of Mitch Hertzog, scion of one of Manhattan’s wealthiest law families, “a soulless corporate drone” who embraces everything you most despise… but also happens to have a nice smile and a killer bod. The last thing anybody – least of all Kate Mackenzie – expects to find in a legal arbitrat
