The Well: A Novel
by Catherine ChanterSet in a modern-day Britain where water is running out everywhere except at the farm of one seemingly ordinary family whose mysterious good fortune leads to a shocking act of violence, The Well is “extraordinary...a mesmerizing read…combining a gripping mystery, nuanced psychological drama, and striking prose” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).When Ruth Ardingly and her family make that first long drive up from the city in their grime-encrusted car and view The Well, they are enchanted by a jewel of a farm that appears to offer everything they need: an opportunity for Ruth, an escape for her husband, and a home for their grandson. But when the drought begins, everything changes. Surrounded by thirty acres of lush greenery, the farm mysteriously thrives while the world outside crumbles under the longest dry spell in recorded history. No one, including the owners, understands why. But The Well’s unique glory comes at a terrible price. From the envy of their neighbors to the mandates of the government, from the fanaticism of a religious order called the Sisters of the Rose to the everyday difficulties of staying close as husband and wife, grandmother and child—all these forces lead to a shocking crime. Accusations of witchcraft, wrongdoing, and murder envelop the family until their paradise becomes a prison. A beautifully written debut novel that “channels Margaret Atwood and Gillian Flynn, creating a story that’s speculative and suspenseful” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), The Well is an utterly haunting meditation on the fragile nature of our relationships with each other and the places we call home.

Well And Truly
by Evelyn Wilde MayersonWith this beautifully rendered novel about three generations of women brought together after a family death, Evelyn Wilde Mayerson, author of five critically acclaimed novels, has crafted a set of characters and captured a sense of place with a stunning precision that once again substantiates her enormous talent. After nearly twenty years in her husband's Vermont hometown, New Yorker Maggie Hatch is still an outsider. She has a mother-in-law who gives her a nervous stomach, an old house with floors that slant, and a much-beloved doctor-husband who unexpectedly dies on her while tying his tennis shoes. So how did it happen that she could be so devastated by her loss, and less than five months later lie shivering in another man's arms? Maggie, who is approaching forty, is just as shocked by this "scandalous" turn of events as her neighbors, but suspects it is not all that surprising, given the circumstances. First there is the matter of her precocious daughter, who drops out of Smith College after one month and arrives home with an unpleasant young man in tow. Then her beautiful, much-married mother temporarily moves in to try to be the parent she never was when Maggie was growing up. And her very best friend turns abruptly cool when she thinks Maggie has made a pass at her husband. Finally, there is the matter of murder. Maggie is prematurely torn out of mourning by a summons to serve as a juror in the trial of a fifteen-year-old girl accused of murdering her mother. But how can she uphold her oath as a juror--to well and truly pass judgment on the accused--unless she first takes stock of her own life, as a mother, a daughter, and an attractive woman in her sexual prime? And what about the wonderfully cranky new man who couldn't have picked a worse (better?) time to make her feel alive again? As this wry, poignant novel moves to its bittersweet conclusion, Evelyn Wilde Mayerson reminds us that life can throw a curve when we least expect it. With the wittiest, most outrageous dialogue to be found in contemporary fiction, and with a heroine who is endearing, unpredictable, and very real, this life-affirming story of loss, redemption, and falling in love all over again quietly steals your heart.
