"Katarina Bivald talks about her characters like you talk about your best friends. She gives her story absolutely everything she has."—FREDRIK BACKMAN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove From New York Times bestselling author of The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend A charming tale of a ramshackle roadside motel: a heartwarming story of love, friendship, community, and the art of living, even when it's already too late. The Pine Creek Motel has seen better days. Henny would call it charming, but she's always seen the best in things. Like now, when she's just met an untimely end crossing the road. She's not going to let a tiny thing like death stop her from living fully—not when her friends and family need her the most. After the funeral is over, her body is buried, and the last casserole dish is empty, Henny is still around. She's not sure why, but she realizes she has one last opportunity to help her friends discover the happiness they once knew before they lose the motel and cabins they've cherished for years. Schitt's Creek meets The Chicken Sisters with a dash of small-town heart and a whole lot of hope, Welcome to the Pine Away Motel and Cabins is the perfect book club read. "Hopeful, heartening, and humane, this is the novel I needed to read right now."—J. Ryan Stradal, author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota and Kitchens of the Great Midwest "Remarkable...unquestionably a page-turner and full of wisdom. A brave, unusual book, which powerfully portrays friendship and love."—Felicity Hayes-McCoy, author of The Library at the Edge of the World

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller! Katarina Bivald's The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a sweet, smart, and uplifting story about how books find us, change us, and connect us. Once you let a book into your life the most unexpected things can happen: Like the bestselling historical novel and Netflix film The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a heartwarming reminder of why we love books. Broken Wheel, Iowa, has never seen anyone like Sara: Sara traveled all the way from Sweden just to meet her book-loving pen pal Amy, but when she arrives she finds Amy's funeral guests just leaving. The residents of Broken Wheel are happy to look after their bewildered visitor—there's not much else to do in a dying small town that's almost beyond repair. You certainly wouldn't open a bookstore. And definitely not with Sara the tourist in charge. You'd need a vacant storefront (Main Street is full of them), books (Amy's house is full of them), and...customers. The bookstore might be a little quirky. Then again, so is Sara. But Broken Wheel's own story might be funnier, more eccentric and surprising than she thought. If you liked big-hearted books like The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry or Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, you will love The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. Praise for The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend: "The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a warm and slyly funny look at small towns and romance..."—New York Journal of Books "A heartwarming tale about literature's power to transform."—People "What begins as an unlikely international friendship based on a mutual love of books becomes a sweet and soulful discovery of America. Quirky, unpredictable, funny, and fresh—a wonderful book."—Nickolas Butler, internationally bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Beneath the Bonfire International Bestseller Indie Regional Bestseller National Indie Bestseller #1 Indie Next Pick

The lives of two young Italian lovers, Enza Ravanelli, a practical girl born into poverty and Ciro Amadei, a dreamer raised in a convent orphanage, are woven together in this lush, epic novel set against the landscape of world events in the first half of the 20thcentury. The Shoemaker's Wifespans two world wars, immigration, the birth of American manufacturing, the rigors of assimilation and the perils of the Great Depression. Like the times they were born into, Enza and Ciro's story is filled with surprising twists and turns. Together, they embrace the promise of a new and better life as they attempt to survive by the labour of their own hands. But when Ciro is diagnosed with a deadly cancer from the bombs he endured in World War I, he returns home alone to Italy to say goodbye, and solve a final mystery about his family.

Literary legend David Adams Richards follows the epic Miramichi Trilogy with a startling standalone novel of concentrated power. The Raskin brothers were once proud to be producers of a much sought-after material of great benefit to society--asbestos. But now their mine is under close scientific scrutiny, with reports of serious illness linked to the place. The world is changing, no doubt for the better... But in the shadow of the mine, the values of a whole community are transforming, in more sinister ways. The Raskins' nephew Byron, a war hero and man of wealth, urges the brothers to look for other, less toxic minerals to extract. But meanwhile his own world is unravelling in ways that are unlikely ever to be fixed. His wife Carmel, whom he vaingloriously believed he was rescuing with his marriage proposal, has become an intellectual and political poseur. She and her son Albert are contemptuous of the values of Byron and his kind, while still finding use for his wealth and property. Carmel and Albert, it seems, are heralds of a new world addicted to mimicry and empty self-promotion, to delusions and temptations. Its victims are growing in number: a college professor in town is falsely accused of sexual harassment; a young woman is slipped an hallucinogen at a party with appalling consequences for her and two boys. And what of poor, naive Eva Mott, the captivating beauty who wished to be like her talented cousin Clara? Her story and the book that bears her name will haunt you. The Tragedy of Eva Mott has all the power and brilliance--and many flashes of wry humour--of David Adams Richards at the very top of his form. It will attract controversy but its fierce authenticity cannot be denied.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A gripping American-on-the-run thriller . . . a brilliant coming-of-age tale and a touching exploration of father-daughter relationships.”—Newsweek “One part Quentin Tarantino, one part Scheherazade, and twelve parts wild innovation.”—Ann Patchett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • The Washington Post • Paste Samuel Hawley isn’t like the other fathers in Olympus, Massachusetts. A loner who spent years living on the run, he raised his beloved daughter, Loo, on the road, moving from motel to motel, always watching his back. Now that Loo’s a teenager, Hawley wants only to give her a normal life. In his late wife’s hometown, he finds work as a fisherman, while Loo struggles to fit in at the local high school. Growing more and more curious about the mother she never knew, Loo begins to investigate. Soon, everywhere she turns, she encounters the mysteries of her parents’ lives before she was born. This hidden past is made all the more real by the twelve scars her father carries on his body. Each scar is from a bullet Hawley took over the course of his criminal career. Each is a memory: of another place on the map, another thrilling close call, another moment of love lost and found. As Loo uncovers a history that’s darker than she could have known, the demons of her father’s past spill over into the present—and together both Hawley and Loo must face a reckoning yet to come. Praise for The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley “A master class in literary suspense.”—The Washington Post “Tinti depicts brutality and compassion with exquisite sensitivity, creating a powerful overlay of love and pain.”—The New Yorker “Hannah Tinti’s beautifully constructed second novel . . . uses the scars on Hawley’s body—all twelve bullet wounds, one by one—to show who he is, what he’s done, and why the past chases and clings to him with such tenacity.”—The Boston Globe “The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley is an adventure epic with the deeper resonance of myth. . . . Tinti exhibits an aptitude for shining a piercing light into the corners of her characters’ hearts and minds.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

人們愛上旅館並非無處可去，而是渴望逃離現實，找到自由 ∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦∗◦٭∗٭◦ 紐約時報、博客來及誠品書店暢銷書《小鎮書情》 作者全新溫馨（又很鬧）力作！ TripAdvisor評論 缺點一：百葉簾、吊扇故障，房間油漆不停剝落 缺點二：員工太熱情了，不停聊往事 缺點三：一臉鬱悶的房客，旁邊還放著骨灰罈 但最棒的是，世上再沒有比這裡更適合鬆散度日的地方了！ 4.5 很棒！★★★★☆ You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. 隨時可以退房，但永遠無法離開。 ──老鷹合唱團〈Hotel California〉，1977 永遠有空房，請至櫃台check in。 從十六歲起就在松溪旅館工作的軒妮，某天，意外車禍身亡。 死後的軒妮並沒有上天堂，她在人間看著十五年前各自分飛的高中好友們，為了參加她的喪禮而重新回到他們一起長大的小鎮。 軒妮的高中男友麥克在多年後成為了地質學家，他曾經發誓永遠不回松溪鎮，大學離家後便從此人間蒸發。卡蜜拉是旅館的繼承人，但她一直覺得將全部人生投入旅館實在太愚蠢，於是去了大城市做「自己」：從男人變成女人。從小因家暴而受到鎮民呵護成人的麥肯琪，卻因為出櫃而與保守團體立場不同，從此對松溪鎮徹底死心。 現在，四個好友終於在旅館重聚，軒妮很開心，因為她的夢想就是與他們坐在露台上喝酒聊天，一起老去。成年後的他們內心雖然各自懷抱著無法解決的人生難題，卻也記起了年少時的情誼，並試圖守護彼此所珍視的事物。 然而，現實遠比他們想像的更加殘酷，保守團體發起「道德商家」運動，將旅館形容為同性戀、酗酒的「暗黑摩鐵」，號召鎮民連署要求旅館歇業，並發動網路抹黑，雙方衝突越演越烈…… 如果說前作《小鎮書情》在探討人與書的關係，這本小說則企圖探討人與人的關係。作者以小鎮與位在邊陲的旅館作為象徵，帶出主流與非主流的價值觀差異，莫名切合台灣當下的氛圍，提醒著我們即使當價值觀走到極端時，仍不忘記根本的人性都有著善意與熱心。 【書封設計理念】 書封延續《小鎮書情》的設計概念，主體為「旅行箱」，以窗戶、門片建構出旅館的模樣。並藉由現實物件堆疊出超現實感，和旅館帶領人們逃離現實、獲得自由的意象呼應。 房客一致推薦 李豪 ❘ 詩人、作家 高耀威 ❘ 書粥老闆 老熊 ❘ IG文字創作者 有隻兔子 ❘ 圖文創作者 艾莉絲 ❘《像我這樣的女生》網站主筆 人是唯一會尋找意義的動物，尤其是遭遇阻礙的時候，也因此面對死亡，使我們質疑人生的種種意義。這是一本很聰明的小說，作者以全知卻又感性的幽靈視角去俯視活著的人心中的光明與黑暗，每一個角色都很獨特，不是因為性別與性向，而是他們各自對於愛的詮釋，也使得這個故事如此多面立體。──詩人、作家 李豪 書裡的松溪鎮，是個教堂比酒吧多的小鎮，我所生活的長濱也是，閱讀時自然會把兩個場域聯想在一起，意外過世的主角軒妮以一個置身事外的角度看待仍在進行的人事物，我則透過換宿顧店的模式，得以換位旁觀書店以另一種生命狀態對外交流。 這由廉價金屬招牌、老舊沙發、帶著裂口的燈罩、泛黃的文宣，以及帶著各自生命目的的鎮民，交匯而成的廢柴旅館中，我感覺到活生生的力量，不是歲月靜好，不是幸福美滿，是那種只有小鎮才有的緊密關係與矛盾，居民們在這樣的關係中各自找尋自己的存在價值，透過一間殘舊的老旅館來引發想像與行動。 我很喜歡這樣從空間展開的地方故事，總能在那些殘缺的部份得到映照般的安慰，無論是廢柴旅館，還是主角們的人生中。──書粥老闆 高耀威 作者以幽默輕鬆的筆風闡述離別的課題，讓我們能重新看待生命中的遺憾。讀著讀著好像也有勇氣回到過去，和曾經的懊悔和解。──IG文字創作者 老熊 奇幻的劇情帶出生命中較為嚴肅的課題，平穩詼諧的風格，讓人很快能沉浸於故事裡，隨著故事進展有不同的起伏與感悟。──有隻兔子 「你有沒有覺得人生好像錯了？」我們或許在生命裡都曾有過這樣的時刻，不知道從何時開始，人生和我們年少時期想望的樣子背道而馳，沒有商量，沒有討論，彷彿在哪一個時刻走進了岔路，然後某天我們從生活醒來，才發現原來日子已經被我們活成這樣了。曾經以為生命中最看重的人事物，不知道落在人生的哪一個階段，沒再跟上來。就像書中主角軒妮說的：「我覺得人生從來沒管我們有甚麼計畫。」 在這樣的人生階段裡，計畫沒有用，擔心沒有用，你需要的只是一杯熱咖啡、一頓暖心也暖胃的食物、一個會拍拍你的背告訴你混亂沒有關係、沒有用沒有關係，一個叫做《廢柴人生旅館》的地方。不是高級旅店，也不是新穎的設計酒店，這裡有的是老舊的房間、看似甚麼都需要修補的家具，還有一群絕不會任意評斷別人，永遠都開放、善良而可愛的人們。 作者藉著描寫小鎮上幾個主要人物的互動，帶出迥然不同的價值觀差異，從原本越演越烈勢不兩立的雙方衝突，隨著故事軸線的進展，作者想要點出的是，人性最根本的善意還是在的，只是有時被狂暴而絕對的價值觀影響了，被團體的推波助瀾影響了。但人與人相處是這樣的，不管彼此的信仰為何，仍然有一個底線是互相尊重 - 「我不認同你但我尊重你」，是我們都能如此自由生活背後的原因。 好好生活，但偶爾也可以不好好生活。我們都需要這樣的人生暫停鍵。推薦這本書給不論在生命的何時，曾經迷惘過或正在迷惘中的你。──《像我這樣的女生》網站主筆 艾莉絲 國際媒體好評推薦 作者在這個又苦又甜的故事中，深入探究了生命中重要的事物究竟為何。這個故事描繪了主角一生所接觸到的許許多多人，這也是本書最令人印象深刻的精彩之處，因為作者將每個角色及他們的渴望描繪得如此獨特又複雜。這是一本關於愛的恆久力量的迷人小說。──《出版人週刊》 這本書描繪了一場生命的慶典，在這裡，友情、群體，及一個可以過夜的房間，是治療偏見的溫和解藥。──《柯克斯書評》 這本迷人、溫暖人心、發人深省的小說，將會在你闔上最後一頁時依然縈繞心頭。──《書單》雜誌 作者編織了一個迷人的故事，在探討嚴肅議題的同時，也描繪了古怪卻相當栩栩如生的角色。──《圖書館雜誌》 這本小說完美捕捉了小鎮生活的美好與考驗……一個充滿希望與勇氣的故事。──Shelf Awareness書評網站 卡塔琳娜．碧瓦德講起她的角色時，就像你講起最好的朋友一樣，她幾乎把她擁有的一切都給了故事。當你閱讀時，一定會非常關心這些角色，因為她寫作時也比任何人都關心。──《紐約時報》暢銷書作者弗雷德里克．巴克曼（Fredrik Backman）

For fans of Hannah Mary McKinnon and Kimberley Belle, this emotionally charged thriller explores long-buried family secrets and the deadly reckoning that often follows their explosive reveal. For two decades, Lena Blackwell has kept her sons at her side, teaching them everything she knows about running their successful river lodge in Northern Maine. But what she really wants is to keep her boys in the dark about their tragic past. Her son Luke is right where he belongs, working at the family inn sheltered by acres of pine forest that stretch along the Penobscot River. So when his adopted brother, Jonah, threatens to upend their peaceful life by searching for his biological parents, Luke refuses to help. Lena is determined to thwart Jonah’s search to uncover his own history. But the unexpected arrival of old friends at the inn for a weekend off the grid throws her plans into disarray. Little does she know, Jonah has already gleaned enough information to set in motion a deadly reckoning. Luke may not want to know anything about his family, but he’s caught between the hard truths his brother is determined to expose and the devastating secret his mother is desperate to keep—at any cost. Dark Rivers to Cross sensitively explores inherited trauma and the stories we tell the ones we love. It’s about what one mother is willing to sacrifice for her children.
