Oriana: A Novel of Oriana Fallaci
by Anastasia RubisA novel of the Italian correspondent who forged a path for female reporters, whose life will be brought to the screen in a Paramount+ limited series. She conducted groundbreaking, hard-hitting interviews with world leaders. She broke into the boy&’s club of Italian journalism when women were only seen as housewives and caregivers. Christiane Amanpour considered her a mentor and role model. Oriana Fallaci faced wars, death threats, and rampant sexism while she wrote—and lived—with her heart on fire.

Yet, as high as she climbed in her profession, she fell short in matters of the heart, until she interviewed Greek poet and politician Alexandros Panagoulis, who had been recently freed after being imprisoned and tortured for attempting to assassinate his country&’s dictator. Though a decade younger than Fallaci, Panagoulis matched her in courage and defiance. Oriana follows their unforgettable love story, a tale of two people united by a radical quest for passion, justice, and freedom . . . &“Inhaled this riveting page-turner on the fascinating trailblazing journalist Oriana Fallaci. Just one question: how did I not know about this incredible woman?&” —Julia Martin, New Jersey Monthly &“A love story as bold, sophisticated, and beautiful as the remarkable woman herself.&” —Laurie Lico Albanese, author of Hester

Origin: A Novel
by Diana Abu-Jaber"Finally, a novel of literary suspense that gets almost everything right—forensically and psychologically." —Sarah Weinman, Baltimore SunSecretly, in her heart of hearts, Lena Dawson hides the strangest of beliefs about her childhood. Hiding behind a cool competence as a superb fingerprint analyst in a crime lab in snowy Syracuse, New York, she feels totally out of place in the ordinary world of human interaction. Especially since the controlling husband who guided and protected her, then cheated and left her (though now he wants her back). Her uncanny ability to read a crime scene draws her into investigating a mysterious series of crib deaths—but ultimately the most difficult puzzle she must solve is the one of her own origins.Diana Abu-Jaber, a “gifted and graceful writer” (Chicago Tribune), masterfully “transcends formula” (Kirkus Reviews) as “the tension of Origin escalates, shaped as much by beautifully nuanced prose as menacing events” (New York Daily News).
