OtherIndieFavoritesTheQuick:ANovel,byLaurenOwen(RandomHouse,$27) “In her debut novel, Owen captures the pacing and cadence of Victorian fiction without the sometimes florid language of that era. She manages to deftly balance a large cast of characters and several seemingly diverse story threads while keeping the reader guessing through all of the twists and turns in this tale. With its formal language, diverse cast of characters, explorations of prejudice and oppression, and a bloody secret at its center, The Quick is very much a Victorian gothic novel written for a 21st century reader.” —BillieBloebaum,Powell’sBooks,Portland,OR

WaroftheWhales:ATrueStory,byJoshuaHorwitz(Simon&Schuster,$28)“The whale stranding happened on March 15, 2000, in the Bahamas, but as Horwitz writes in his fascinating book, every animal must adapt to survive: humans have been at it for over 100,000 years, but whales have been the dominant force in the oceans for 50 million years! This true story painstakingly details years of underwater experiments and other global incidents involving marine mammals and reads like a mystery that cannot be put down. Essential for any reader concerned about the ocean environment and our role as human caretakers of the mammals that inhabit the seas, this is a terrific read!” —KathleenDixon,IslandtimeBooks&More,WashingtonIsland,WI

MASS MARKETAnotherIndieFavoriteAmyFallsDown:ANovel,byJincyWillett(Picador,$16) “A once-famed writer, considered the voice of her generation 30 years ago, Amy now teaches creative writing online and lives a hermit’s life. However, one day before an interview, she falls down in her yard and gets a concussion, afterward gives a most peculiar and stirring interview—none of which she remembers. While seemingly benign, the interview quietly restarts her career—and within a year Amy is once again the voice of writers everywhere. Amy Falls Down is a wonderful story that explores the business of writing in our modern era. Just wonderful!” —MeaghanBeasley,IslandBookstore,Duck,NC
