Book excerpt: In this “unsettling and resonant novel” by the acclaimed author of Mr. Wroe’s Virgins, an orphan seeks revenge on her birth mother in rural Scotland (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times). Having spent her traumatic childhood in and out of foster homes, twenty-eight-year-old Nikki Black has decided to finally take control of her life. That begins with finding her birth mother, Phyllis: the woman who abandoned her as a newborn at a London post office. The plan is simple. She’ll find her mother, demand the answers she’s always needed, then exact her revenge. But when Nikki tracks Phyllis down on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides, she also meets the brother she never knew she had. Calum may be simple-minded, but he is full of stories—about his island home, and about Phyllis, the manipulative herbalist who keeps him under her thumb. As Nikki changes her plans to help Calum, all three of their lives begin to unravel in this “brooding, furiously powerful tale” inspired by Shakspeare’s The Tempest (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “[A] caustically memorable literary shocker . . . Fans of Ian McEwan should relish this stylish, charismatic addition to Britain’s gallery of antiheroes.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Orphan Island is a historical novel about the island of Cyprus. Revolution, foreign intrigue, intervention, and intercommunal strife are the elements that make up the island's tragedy. Squeezed in the vise of East-West power politics during the cold war, Cyprus becomes the apple of discord as against the will of its people NATO tries to pull the non-aligned island into its camp and make it an unsinkable nuclear base. Through diabolical schemes and stratagems from governments of powerful nations, the island suffers a brutal invasion by the Turks, complete with ferocious atrocities, all in full view of a "freedom-loving NATO." Amid deep hostility, turmoil, espionage, treachery, and war, the love of Achilles and Daphne is rekindled and flourished. Achilles, an idealist intellectual and zealous fighter for freedom, is one of the leaders in the revolution to kick the British out of Cyprus. Artistic Daphne is sensitive and emotional, and she lives to love Achilles and to dream an eternal life with him. But their love follows the intricate weave of their destiny, which is interlaced with the destiny of Cyprus as it is ordained by foreign governments and men with depraved causes. Orphan Island is based on the true story of Cyprus and its courageous people, who ask to be free and because of that their lives change forever, the result of outworn British colonial mentality, and corrupt American foreign policy and failure.

Book excerpt: A young slacker decides to live her life according to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure: “A rollicking tale, shameless, funny and intelligent” (The New York Times). When a college graduate with a history of hapless jobs (ice cream scooper, gift wrapper, laziest ever part-time clerk at The Pet Library) reads Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island, she is dumbstruck by the timid design of her life. When had she ever dreamed a scheme? When had she ever done a foolish, overbold act? When had she ever, like Jim Hawkins, broken from her friends, raced for the beach, stolen a boat, killed a man, and eliminated an obstacle that stood in the way of her getting a hunk of gold? Convinced that Stevenson’s book is cosmically intended for her, she redesigns her life according to its Core Values: boldness, resolution, independence, and horn-blowing. Accompanied by her mother, her sister, and a hostile Amazon parrot that refuses to follow the script, our heroine embarks on a domestic adventure more frightening than anything she’d originally planned. Treasure Island!!! is the story of a ferocious obsession, told by an original voice—“insane, hilarious, and irreverent” (Alice Sebold). “Highly original . . . will keep you entertained in spite of (or more accurately, because of) its toxic narrator.” —Library Journal “A hoot.” —Kirkus Reviews
