Where the Rivers Merge (2025)
Mary Alice Monroe
"Mary Alice Monroe has spent a long career writing about the environment, and that love of nature rises to the surface here in Where the Rivers Merge like never before. Beginning in 1988, her novel - centered around the life of her fictional heroine, Eliza Pinckney Rivers--catapults us back to the dawn of the 20th century, when Monroe's beloved South Carolina is just emerging from the long shadow of the Civil War. We meet Eliza first when she's eighty-eight - and then again when she's just eight years old, the vibrant, headstrong daughter of a family that owns Mayfield, a huge piece of property in the ACE Basin, a magical piece of land where three rivers converge. Monroe's sweeping family saga is so layered that it will take two books to take us through the 20th century (the sequel will be out next year). In this first of two installments, we see Eliza wrestle with an against-the-odds friendship, a searing loss, and a first love. A passionate love letter to the complex and nuanced history of the American South, and to the flora and fauna that abound in the author's beloved South Carolina, WHERE THE RIVERS MERGE is also a reminder to us all to conserve the land we hold dear."

Austen at Sea (2025)
Natalie Jenner
"Austen at Sea is an utterly immersive novel set just after the Civil War as a handful of American book-lovers journey to England by sea to meet Jane Austen's last remaining sibling, an aging sea captain now in his 90s who is hoping to preserve his sister's legacy before he passes away. Unexpected friendships form, romance blossoms, and deception lurks in this heartfelt story that Austen herself would certainly have loved... If you've ever found sustenance in a Jane Austen novel-or sought meaning in your own life through the power of books-this is the novel you've been waiting for. Full of heart, hope, and history."
