Week of February 17, 2020

Paperback releases for the week of February 17th include TIDELANDS, in which Philippa Gregory turns from the glamour of the royal courts to tell the story of an ordinary woman living in a dangerous time for a woman to be different; NORMAL PEOPLE by Sally Rooney, a work of fiction that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship; LATE IN THE DAY, Tessa Hadley's novel about two close-knit couples whose lives are irrevocably changed by an untimely death; and FEAST YOUR EYES, the first novel in nearly a decade from Myla Goldberg, whose main character is a female photographer grappling with ambition and motherhood --- a balancing act familiar to women of every generation.
