Ny Times Fiction

Yesteryear By Caro Claire Burke A traditional American woman, a "tradwife" influencer, suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855-where she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax,venture which poses the question: Have you ... ever wished you could live inside a book? Welcome to the Astral Library, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister in this sensational debut novel. My name was Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive. Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens, her husband the heir to a political dynasty? What Natalie's followers-all 8 million of them-don't know won't hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They're sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn't simply living the good life, she's living the ideal-and just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn't hers. Her home, her husband, her children-they're all familiar, but something's off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now she's expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible. A gripping, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood.

The Correspondent By Virginia Evans "Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle. Isn't there something wonderful in that, to think that a story of one's life ... is preserved in some way, that this very letter may one day mean something, even if it is a very small thing, to someone?" Filled with the kind of insight that comes only from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a quietly powerful novel about the solace found in literature and the deep connections formed through words. It explores the recklessness of youth, the clarity of age, and the small acts of kindness and regret that accumulate over a lifetime. Sybil Van Antwerp has long relied on letters to understand the world and her place in it. Each morning, she sits down to write - to her brother, her best friend, a university president who refuses her request to audit a class, celebrated authors whose books have stirred her thoughts, and to one person in particular to whom she writes often but never sends the letter. Sybil believes her life is settled: she is a mother, grandmother, former wife, and accomplished lawyer who has seen much and survived more. But when letters from her past arrive unexpectedly, she is forced to confront one of the most painful chapters of her life. To move forward, Sybil must finally allow the letter she has been writing for years to be read and find the courage to forgive. Sybil Van Antwerp's life of letters may seem like "a very small thing," but her story - rich with wisdom, regret, and grace - makes her one of the most unforgettable characters readers will encounter.

Most people don't even notice them-three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world.

Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa's care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she gets to the painting's birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about what she'll find.

The Storm We Made By Vanessa Chan In this "espionage-laden family epic" (Vanity Fair), an ordinary housewife becomes an unlikely spy-and her dark secrets will test even the most unbreakable ties. Malaya, 1945. Cecily Alcantara's family ...is in terrible danger: her fifteen-year-old son, Abel, has disappeared, and her youngest daughter, Jasmin, is confined in a basement to prevent being pressed into service at the comfort stations. Her eldest daughter Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day. Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth. A decade prior, Cecily had been desperate to be more than a housewife to a low-level bureaucrat in British-colonized Malaya. A chance meeting with the charismatic General Fujiwara lured her into a life of espionage, pursuing dreams of an "Asia for Asians." Ten years later as the war reaches its apex, her actions have caught up with her. Now her family is on the brink of destruction-and she will do anything to save them.

For his safety, she must be kept under observation for twenty-one days. The agents transfer Sara to a retention center, where she is held with other dreamers, all of them women trying to prove their innocence from different crimes.

Buckeye By Patrick Ryan That, as he saw it now, was his life's work: trying to make right what he'd gotten wrong. Wasn't that a fair measure of a person, what they did with their mistakes?... In the jubilant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe, Cal Jenkins, a man wounded not in war but by his inability to serve in it, shares a single, life-altering moment with Margaret Salt, a woman determined to outrun her past. Cal is married to Becky, whose spiritual gifts help the living speak to the dead, while Margaret's husband, Felix, is serving at sea, believed to be safe-until a telegram suggests otherwise. What begins as a fleeting transgression becomes a complex secret that irrevocably binds all four of them in unexpected ways. As their small Ohio town remakes itself in the postwar boom, the Salt and Jenkins families remain in each other's orbit, and the consequences of choices made long ago begin to emerge, reshaping their lives in ways that will forever impact the next generation. Sweeping yet intimate, resplendent with moments of deep emotion and unforgettable characters, Buckeye is a transportive story of love, loyalty, sacrifice, and forgiveness.
