Badly behaved Victorian ladies, indolent poets, an exasperated editor, intrepid British adventurers, steampunk inventors, omniscient butlers, a genteel Devil, and a number of cunning plans combine to make this debut novel exciting and amusing.” —Jennifer Richter, Inkwood Books, Haddonfield, NJ Indie Bestsellers Hardcover Week of 09.07.16 = Debut = On the Rise Indies Introduce A House Without Windows: A Novel, by Nadia Hashimi (William Morrow, 9780062449689, $26.99) “Hashimi sets her layered and suspenseful novel at the crossroads of tradition and modernity in present-day Afghanistan.

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteThe Gates of Evangeline: A Novel, by Hester Young (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 9780425283172, $16) “Charlie Cates recently lost her young son and the job that she worked so hard for is probably going to be eliminated. When Charlie is offered a chance to write about the Deveau family and their child who went missing over 30 years ago, she jumps at the chance. What she hasn’t told anybody is that she has been seeing visions of children in trouble and is currently experiencing one of a young boy in a rowboat in a Louisiana swamp who she suspects is the missing Deveau child. A wonderful puzzle with a Southern Gothic feel, this is a definite must-read!”—Janice Hunsche, Kaleidosaurus Books, Metamora, IN

But when the evil Witch of the Waste curses her, Sophie must venture off by herself to break the spell — an especially dangerous prospect with the Wizard Howl, who is said to eat the hearts of young women as he wanders around the countryside in his walking castle. Fun and magical, Howl’s Moving Castle will have readers cheering for everyone from scarecrows to fire demons.” —Emily Somberg, Pegasus Books, Berkeley, CA
