FICTION NONFICTION Other Indie Favorites The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko: A Novel, by Scott Stambach (St. Martin’s Press, $25.99) “Seventeen-year-old Ivan Isaenko has spent his entire life in a cloistered world, but he possesses a keen intellect and an understanding of humanity that far exceeds the confines of the Mazyr Hospital for Gravely Ill Children in Belarus. Severely physically handicapped due to radiation poisoning, Ivan has never had a friend beyond his caregivers at the hospital—until Polina is admitted. The two teens form a fast and indelible bond that will leave readers in awe of the tenacity of their commitment. Heartbreaking and awe- inspiring.” Pamela Klinger-Horn, Excelsior Bay Books, Excelsior, MN Indie Bestsellers Hardcover Week of 08.31.16 = Debut = On the Rise Indies Introduce The Muse: A Novel, by Jessie Burton (Ecco, $27.99) “Burton’s follow-up to The Miniaturist also takes place in the art world, but this time the settings alternate between London in the 1960s and pre-Civil War Spain in the 1930s. In 1967, a long-lost work by a dead Spanish painter turns up in London. Is it really an original Isaac Robles? Or is there a more complicated story behind the intriguing painting?

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteRiverine: A Memoir From Anywhere But Here, by Angela Palm (Graywolf Press, $16) “Haunting and surprising yet immediately relatable, Palm’s striking memoir sinks its roots deep into readers and holds fast. Everything ordinary, Palm reveals, is extraordinary—tragic, profound, amusing, brutal—when examined up close. In reflecting on her own formative years, growing up ‘between points on the map’ in small-town Indiana, Palm paints a measured, unforgettable portrait of the forces that break us free of our origins and those that inevitably call us back.” —Sam Kaas, Village Books, Bellingham, WA
