Unforgettable Novels, Unforgettable Women
Dances
BY NICOLE CUFFY
A striking debut that centers on Cece Cordell, a Black rising star of the New York City Ballet, as she questions whether she will ever find fulfillment within the stern, ultra-white fortress of classical dance. Cuffy's prose pours into Cece-head, heart, and body and creates a moving portrait of an artist seeking to know herself and stretch the boundaries of her craft.
The Five-Star Weekend
BY ELIN HILDERBRAND
Hungry with Hollis is one of the internet's hottest sites, but when Hollis's husband dies in a car crash, her peppy posting flags. To cheer herself up, she curates the perfect house party with five close friends. Well, four close friends and one follower she's made a special connection with. Wait till she finds out just how special their connection is. If you aren't already addicted to Hilderbrand's Nantucket novels, there's no time like the present.
Hedge
BY JANE DELURY
Maud travels to New York's Hudson Valley for a summer of hard work: restoring the ruins of a 19th-century garden and relinquishing her crumbling marriage. She is not expecting to meet Gabriel, a charming archaeologist who becomes entangled in her life and the life of her troubled tweenage daughter. With language as lush as the setting, Delury pulls readers into a thicket of lust, responsibility, and betrayal that they won't want to escape.
