FICTION NONFICTION Indie Bestsellers Hardcover Week of 02.22.17 = Debut = On the Rise Swimming Lessons, by Claire Fuller (Tin House Books, $25.95) “With Swimming Lessons, Claire Fuller confirms her place as a writer of exceptional insight and warmth. This tale of a marriage, of a family, and especially of children bearing the brunt of the fallout of betrayals and abandonment pulls you in and refuses to let you emerge from the lives of its characters until the tale is finished. Even then, it takes time to shake the spell the book creates. A wonderful follow-up to Our Endless Numbered Days that explores similar themes through an entirely different story, Swimming Lessons will be a great book for fans of Fuller’s first novel and will bring her new fans as well.” —Anmiryam Budner, Main Point Books, Wayne, PA Other Indie Favorites The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir: A Novel, by Jennifer Ryan (Crown, $26) “This gorgeous novel grabbed me from the very first page with laughter and kept me hooked with characters that are vivid and lovable. As each woman shares her place in the intrigue, romance, sorrow, and friendship of Chilbury and World War II through letters and diaries, their lives become increasingly real, until you can hardly believe this is fiction. At the center of the story is the indomitable Chilbury Ladies’ Choir, and when their individual triumphs and sorrows wind together during their performances, Ryan’s writing reaches a soulful crescendo that will continue to echo in readers’ hearts. Fans of Helen Simonson should not miss this beautiful debut.” —Grace Wright, Parnassus Books, Nashville, TN Based on reporting from hundreds of independent bookstores across America.

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteSudden Death: A Novel, by Álvaro Enrigue (Riverhead Books, $16) “Sudden Death is one of the most audacious, smart, and original books you will read this year. It is a literary triptych—part history lesson, part tennis match, and part hypermodern adventure. Daring and visceral with a cast that includes Thomas Cromwell, Mary Magdalene, Aztec emperors and more, the limits of the novel in Enrigue�s hands seem boundless. No other author is taking chances like this with such gratifying results.” —Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore, Houston, TX

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT
For Teen Readers The Edge of Everything, by Jeff Giles (Bloomsbury, $18.99) “The Edge of Everything has everything I look for in a great young adult book: an alternate world that is perfectly meshed with our own, romance, tragedy, and enough humor to keep it all balanced. Zoe’s family has been through a year of tragedy that is compounded when Zoe and her younger brother are caught in a blizzard and have a run-in with the person who murdered their neighbors. They are saved by a man called X, a bounty hunter from the Lowlands — a form of hell. X and Zoe’s family become irretrievably intertwined, and their adventures offer a fantastic tale that will leave readers hoping for more.” —Carrie Deming, The Dog Eared Book, Palmyra, NY

For Ages 9 to 12 The Ethan I Was Before, by Ali Standish (HarperCollins, $16.99) “The Ethan I Was Before is quietly engaging, heartfelt, and authentic. Sometimes the most meaningful books are not the ones that hit you over the head with issues and drama, but the ones that slowly unfold to tell you a personal story. Standish does just that through a unique setting and a well-drawn cast of supporting characters.” —Johanna Albrecht, Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, NC
