For Mary Murphy, there are five, eulogized here in an utterly unforgettable voice. Mary tells the story of her own life—her childhood spent trading one home and father figure for another, her efforts to track down her rebellious sister, and her winding search for purpose—through her experiences and encounters with the people who shaped her path. The result is an unconventional and moving story about identity, family, and belonging.
Elegies for Uncanny Girls (Break Away Book Club Edition)
by Jennifer ColvilleThe ordinary and the extraordinary merge in the strange and complex lives of young women in this &“frequently luminous&” debut short story collection (Kirkus Reviews). Unsettling and perceptive, this debut story collection challenges our notion of American girlhood in all its delusions, conflicting messages, and treacherous terrain. Alternately wide-eyed, wise, and mysterious, the girls at the center of these stories leave their realities behind for curious new places where the barrier between real and unreal begins to blur. Still others hover over their Midwestern homes in interior worlds of their own creation. The stories in Elegies for Uncanny Girls take place at a boundary where both the girls&’ bodies and their narratives belong either to themselves or to the cultures that surround them. A young woman whose body continually shrinks and expands moves to Los Angeles to make a movie about tragic merpeople; bewildered and seeking guidance, a new mom strikes up a conversation with a woman with detachable hands; and spurred on by a new ally who might just be a figment of her imagination, a girl decides she can choose her own friends. &“Brisk, satisfying, and fiercely observant.&” —Publishers Weekly

Elegy Beach (The Change, Book #2)
by Steven R. BoyettIn Elegy Beach Steven R. Boyett returns with his long-awaited follow-up to the "monumental" (Janet Morris) and unforgettable post-apocalyptic fantasy Ariel. Thirty years ago the lights went out, the airplanes fell, the cars went still, the cities all went dark. The laws humanity had always known were replaced by new laws that could only be called magic. The world has Changed forever. Or has it? The older survivors yearn for the vanished time before the Change and its ensuing anarchy, but Fred feels no such nostalgia. He grew up in a fishing village off the California coast, playing in abandoned buildings and rusting supertankers, watching whale migrations and sea serpent matings from the cliffs. His generation scavenges all it needs from the remnants of its parents' civilization, and they're skeptical of the outlandish tales their embittered elders tell. Fred and his friend Yan set out to make their mark in this new world by learning the rules by which it operates: the science of magic. Their studies lead them to a means to reverse the Change--to restore the laws their parents knew. But Yan's reckless wielding of their newfound abilities, and his growing obsession with humanity's former powers, forces Fred to take a stand against his friend--and sets him on a journey in which the return of an extraordinary figure from his father's haunted past is inextricably bound with this world's future.
Elegy Beach
