Week of September 16, 2024

Paperback releases for the week of September 16th include ASTOR, an unconventional, page-turning historical biography in which Anderson Cooper and Katherine Howe chronicle the lives of the Astors and explore what the Astor name has come to mean in America --- offering a window onto the making of America itself; THE LEFTOVER WOMAN by Jean Kwok, an evocative family drama and a riveting mystery about the ferocious pull of motherhood for two very different women; ABOMINATIONS, a striking collection of essays from novelist, cultural observer and social satirist Lionel Shriver; WANDERING THROUGH LIFE, an eye-opening memoir by Donna Leon, who, in a series of vignettes full of affection, irony and good humor, narrates a remarkable life she feels has rather more happened to her than been planned; and COLEMAN HILL by Kim Coleman Foote, the exhilarating story of two American families whose fates become intertwined in the wake of the Great Migration.
