Book excerpt: This panoramic exploration of French life between the wars reads like a prequel to Irène Némirovsky’s international bestseller Suite Française. At the end of the First World War, Bernard Jacquelain returns from the trenches a changed man. Broken by the unspeakable horrors he has witnessed, he becomes addicted to the lure of wealth and success. He wallows in the corruption and excess of post-war Paris, but when his lover abandons him, Bernard turns to a childhood friend for comfort. For ten years, he lives the good bourgeois life, but when the drums of war begin to sound again, everything around which he has rebuilt himself starts to crumble, and the future—of his marriage and of his country—suddenly becomes terribly uncertain. Written after Némirovsky fled Paris in 1940, just two years before her death, and first published in France in 1957, The Fires of Autumn is a coruscating, tragic novel of war and its aftermath, and of the ugly color it can turn a man's soul.

Book excerpt: Returning to his longtime home in Japan after his father-in-law’s sudden death, Pico Iyer picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office and engaging in furious games of ping-pong every evening. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead, he comes to reflect on changelessness in ways that anyone can relate to: parents age, children scatter, and Iyer and his wife turn to whatever can sustain them as everything falls away. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat begins to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before, where the transparent and the mysterious are held in a delicate balance, and where autumn reminds us to take nothing for granted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Springs and Autumns is a compelling novel that chronicles, through the voices of several family members, the intriguing history of an extended Majorcan family. The novel is set in Orlandis (a fictional version of Porcel's hometown) on the island of Majorca. Even though the novel rises from this specific, exotic island setting, Springs and Autumns ultimately appeals to universal human emotions. Although the entire novel takes place as the family gathers at Taltavull Hall for a Christmas Eve dinner, the reader is conveyed to places as far away as South America and Asia, learning along the way about murder, love, rape, incest, travel, discovery, regret, and forgiveness.

Book excerpt: After a rocky start in Summer Rain and being struck with a tragedy in Cruel Winter, Kelsey and Jeremy were meant to have the Happy Ever After they had both longed for. It seems the road of love for them is riddled with obstacles. Life was never meant to be this hard, was it? Discovering their son has the same heart condition that killed Kelsey's brother has built a wedge between them. She is pushing everyone away, but when she finally realizes it, will it be too late? What she needs to understand is that Jeremy is only human, he can only take so much rejection and so many cold shoulders. Lurking in the wings is another woman who threatens to destroy their relationship once and for all. If he resists her indecent proposal, he could lose everything, but with the way things are at home, could the temptation be just what he needs to bring him back to life? His world weary soul cannot take another beating that much he does know. Will Kelsey's love be enough to hold them together? Kelsey - My child is sick, Jeremy should understand, why is he always fighting against me? I know I suck at being a wife, I know it shouldn't be like this, but what can I do? Harrison's health has to be the most important thing in my life right now. Surely Jeremy understands this. Jeremy - He is my son too, but she keeps pushing me away. I get that our vows said 'For better or for worse, ' what I want to know is, where is the better part? I love her more than life, but she is so ruddy frustrating, I really don't know how much more I can take.
