New In Adult Fiction

We've been gone for a little while! But make a point to come in and check out one of our many, new titles in Adult Fiction:

Little Giant of Aberdeen County
by Tiffany Baker "The Little Giant of Aberdeen County grabs you from its astonishing beginning to its riveting conclusion. Its charms are multitude a wholly unique love story, a devastating friendship, a bewitching multi-generational history, all brought to an apex in the larger-than-life personage of Truly, a heroine simultaneously infused with a quiet and dignified grace and peculiar sense of purpose. This dark-yet-rollicking debut is a must-read." --Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants

The Piano Teacher
by Janice Y. K. Lee "This cinematic tale of two love affairs in mid-century Hong Kong shows colonial pretensions tainted by wartime truths. Will Truesdale, a rootless, handsome Briton, arrives in the colony in 1941, and is swept up by Trudy Liang, the blithe and glamorous daughter of a Shanghai millionaire and a Portuguese beauty. They quickly become inseparable, their days spent in a whirl of parties and champagne, but when the Japanese invade, Will is interned and Trudy resorts to increasingly Faustian methods to survive."

Other new titles: The Ideal Wife & First Comes Marriage, both by Mary Balogh; The Last Hellion by Loretta Chase; Charlemagne Pursuit by Stephen Berry; Run by James Patterson. For these and many other new titles, please speak with the librarian on duty!
