FICTION NONFICTION Other Indie Favorites Mothering Sunday: A Romance, by Graham Swift (Knopf, $22.95) “A beautiful afternoon on Mothering Sunday— now known as Mother’s Day—in 1924 provides the backdrop for this exquisite tale of love, longing, and memory. Jane Fairchild, a house maid, has been the longtime lover to the heir-apparent at the estate next door. Their final cataclysmic afternoon together will alter the course of her destiny in ways that she never contemplated. Told in flashbacks by the nonagenarian Jane, this rare gem of a novella will haunt readers long after they turn the final pages. Superb!” —Pamela Klinger-Horn, Excelsior Bay Books, Excelsior, MN Indie Bestsellers Hardcover Week of 05.18.16 = Debut = On the Rise The Sport of Kings: A Novel, by C.E. Morgan (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $27) “Horse racing and breeding, evolution, race, love, family dynamics, and America’s past are a few of the subjects and issues that Morgan explores with a poetic and lyrical sensibility. The result is a gorgeous and engaging novel that is sobering, important, and unforgettable. Morgan combines some of the intense power of the landscape as mindscape of Thomas Wolfe, the dramaturgy and myth-mining of Eugene O’Neill, the deep focus and rigor of Richard Powers, the transcendent beauty of Vollmann’s best prose, and the strong spiritual commitment of Marilynne Robinson. The Sport of Kings unfolds dramatically into an exquisite work of classic American literature.” —Ed Conklin, Chaucer’s Books, Santa Barbara, CA 1. Everybody’s Fool Richard Russo, Knopf, $27.95 2.

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteThe Transit of Venus, by Shirley Hazzard (Penguin Books, $16)Originally published in hardcover in 1980“WWII has just ended when two Australian sisters, Grace, whose nature is described by her name, and Caro, more angular in terms of beauty and character, encounter the Englishmen who will subsume their lives. The result is not only a rapturous love story, but a novel of ideas as adept at skewering society as people, as astute about global conflict as about love. The writing, at once luminous and precise, is heart-stopping and hair-raising, the sweep of story hugely engrossing, the result brilliant.” —Betsy Burton, The King’s English Bookshop, Salt Lake City, UT
