Selected Novels Volume One
Author: Mary McGarry Morris
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504054091
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 875
Book Description
Two powerful novels from “a superb storyteller”: An Oprah’s Book Club selection and New York Times bestseller plus a National Book Award–nominated debut (The Washington Post). The highly acclaimed novelist Mary McGarry Morris has been hailed as “a credible heir to Carson McCullers . . . a wise, unsentimental portraitist of the lonely, the damned, the desperate and the incomplete” (The New York Times Book Review). Morris’s gift for emotionally powerful, often bleak but always compassionate stories set in the small towns of New England is on display in the two novels collected here: the Oprah’s Book Club Selection and New York Times bestseller, Songs in Ordinary Time, and the National Book Award and PEN/Faulkner Award finalist, her debut novel, Vanished. Songs in Ordinary Time: In the summer of 1960 in Atkinson, Vermont, Marie Fermoyle is raising three children on the edge of poverty, with no help from her alcoholic ex-husband. Desperately lonely, Marie is easy prey for a con man like Omar Duvall. Her seventeen-year-old daughter, Alice, is involved with a local priest; her sixteen-year-old son, Norm, is a hothead; and twelve-year-old Benjy is hiding a secret about Duvall that could shatter all her hopes. “Teeming with incident and characters, often foolish, even nasty, but always alive.” —The New Yorker “Deep and thick as a long, hot summer . . . The narrative of a town reminiscent of the collective ache of The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.” —The Boston Globe Vanished: Aubrey Wallace is a simple laborer, the kind of man no one notices. Dotty Johnson is the kind of woman no man can ignore. The day after they both disappear from their small Vermont town, a toddler is taken from her home. For the next five years, Aubrey, Dotty, and the kidnapped child are trapped in a nomadic existence, terrified of discovery. But when Dotty decides she’s had enough, she hooks up with an ex-convict and the wheels of the little girl’s return to her parents are wrenched fatally into motion. “An impressive debut . . . unusual and rich.” —San Francisco Chronicle “[Hums] with both the authenticity of real life and the mythic power of fable.” —The New York Times

ISBN: 1480465348
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1047
Book Description
Three chilling novels of psychological suspense from “a novelist of the highest quality” (The Independent on Sunday). Copycat: Martha’s new neighbor, Jennie, seems to love everything about her: her beautiful house, impressive children, attractive husband, even the way she dresses. It’s all a bit much. But when Jennie starts changing, gaining confidence and succeeding in love and work, Martha’s life begins to come apart at the seams, and their frayed friendship hurtles toward an extreme confrontation. “White handles her gruesome ingredients with control and intelligence.” —The Independent on Sunday Dogboy: From the age of eight, when his mother died and he landed at the social services office, Fergus has fiercely loved his social worker, Jem. So Jem’s marriage is the deepest betrayal. Now nineteen, Fergus has just been released from prison, and he’s coming to set things right between them. “A tone of punchy malice governs White’s literate black comedy. . . . [She] wields a wickedly sardonic pen.” —Publishers Weekly Unhallowed Ground: London social worker Georgina Jefferson battles guilt and public disgrace when one of her charges, an abused five-year-old girl, is beaten to death. She retreats to an isolated cottage that once belonged to her deceased brother. But her neighbors’ hostility and a series of chilling incidents cause her to question who or what threatens her most. “Gothic elements abound in this spine-tingling melodrama. . . . A suspenseful, tautly woven thriller featuring a suitably shocking conclusion.” —Booklist With these three unforgettable psychological thrillers, “White evokes comparisons to Fay Weldon and Joy Fielding with her comic flair and touch of the grotesque” (Publishers Weekly).

Book Description
Being kidnapped by aliens is only the start of Jade's problems... Thankfully, her rescuers, an alien race known as the Clecanians, are willing to protect her, but she has to stay on their planet for one year and respect the rules of their culture-including choosing a husband. Jade refuses at first but decides to play along until she can find a way back to Earth. Theo, a scarred mercenary who prefers a life of solitude, is stunned when Jade selects him as her husband. After years of being passed over, he never imagined he would be chosen and neither did anyone else. Only one explanation makes sense...the curvy enticing female must be a spy, and Theo's determined to break her cover using any means necessary. As Jade and Theo are forced to spend time together, their chemistry becomes undeniable. But neither can afford to bring love into the equation, especially since Jade seems determined to go home. After all, she can't possibly stay here, right?
