Each of her novels is just a marvel —Anne Tyler New York Times bestselling author Mary Lawson, acclaimed for digging into the wilderness of the human heart, is back after almost a decade with a fresh and timely novel that is different in subject but just as emotional and atmospheric as her beloved earlier work. A Town Called Solace, the brilliant and emotionally radiant new novel from Mary Lawson, her first in nearly a decade, opens on a family in crisis. Sixteen-year-old Rose is missing. Angry and rebellious, she had a row with her mother, stormed out of the house and simply disappeared. Left behind is seven-year-old Clara, Rose’s adoring little sister. Isolated by her parents’ efforts to protect her from the truth, Clara is bewildered and distraught. Her sole comfort is Moses, the cat next door, whom she is looking after for his elderly owner, Mrs. Orchard, who went into hospital weeks ago and has still not returned. Enter Liam Kane, mid-thirties, newly divorced, newly unemployed, newly arrived in this small northern town, who moves into Mrs. Orchard’s house—where, in Clara’s view, he emphatically does not belong. Within a matter of hours he receives a visit from the police. It seems he is suspected of a crime. At the end of her life, Elizabeth Orchard is also thinking about a crime, one committed thirty years previously that had tragic consequences for two families, and in particular for one small child. She desperately wants to make amends before she dies. Told through three distinct, compelling points of view, the novel cuts back and forth among these unforgettable characters to uncover the layers of grief, remorse, and love that connect them. A Town Called Solace is a masterful, suspenseful, darkly funny and deeply humane novel by one of our great storytellers.

In a newly swinging London, Rosamund Stacey indulges in a premarital sexual encounter—and soon thereafter finds herself pregnant. Despite her fierce independence and academic brilliance, Rosamund is in fact naïve and unworldly, and the choices before her are terrifying. But in the perfection and helplessness of her baby she finds an unconditional love she has never known before—and as she navigates a situation still considered scandalous in her circles, she may discover that motherhood and independence need not be mutually exclusive. From “one of Britain’s most dazzling writers,” the award-winning author of The Dark Flood Rises, The Millstone captures both a moment in history when women’s lives were changing dramatically and the timeless truths of the female experience (The New York Times Book Review).

  a town like alice book: Open Secrets Alice Munro, 2011-06-01 There is a remarkable magic in these eight matchless stories—stories set in Ontario, Australia, Europe; in dangerous mountains, forbidding wilderness, familiar towns. In the title story, a lawyer’s wife has a flash of insight—illogical, unprovable, and terrifying—into the fate of a missing teenager; in another, the appearance of a long-dead visitor reveals the grip of a former love. Munro tells of vanished schoolgirls and indentured frontier brides and an eccentric recluse who, in the course of one surpassingly odd dinner party, inadvertently lands herself a wealthy suitor. Yet the true magic lies in the way that Alice Munro makes everything here—unexpected marriages, elopements, acts of sudden vengeance—unfold with the ease of the inevitable. This is the mark of a great writer, and it is stamped on every page of this book.

  a town like alice book: The Most Dangerous Detective Steve Bishop, 2012 The Most Dangerous Detective is a sensational expose of crime, sexual intrigue, corruption and Machiavellian politics by former Fleet Street investigative reporter Steve Bishop.With a foreword by former Queensland Premier Mike Ahern, this true story contains the key elements of a whodunnit and a thriller, with complex plots to disentangle, clues to analyse and false leads which lead to tension as the hunt closes in on the villain who time and again escapes his pursuers.The devious and cunning political plotting could stand alone as a tale of intrigue as Premiers of different eras select crooked police officers as commissioners, supposedly independent inquiries produce the results desired by government and the leading anti-corruption campaigner has his parliamentary career killed off.Come on a journey through three states and the Northern Territory; three gruesome murders in the scorched, red heart of the outback; a miscarriage of justice in the prim and proper city of Adelaide; the creation of a luxury brothel empire in Sydney in the swinging sixties; and there's even a side trip to genteel Eastbourne, in England, to meet a serial lady-killer. But you'll be spending most of your time in sub-tropical Brisbane with its verandad wooden houses on quarter-acre blocks, palms and poincianas, hilltop views and shady valleys, its broad convoluted river and its laid back lifestyle.The result of a quarter of a century's research and interviews with political leaders, senior police and barristers, The Most Dangerous Detective also charts the awakening of Australians from the naive innocence of the late 50s through to the cynicism of the 80s.Did Glen Patrick Hallahan, who became famous as the ace detective who solved the Sundown Murders and won the George Medal for bravery send an innocent man to the gallows? Did he execute Jack 'Bingo' Cooper who kept his eyes down when talking but kept his ears open and may have learned too much?Did he murder his mistress, the brothel queen who had once lied at a Royal Commission in order to protect him and his colleagues?The Most Dangerous Detective provides the evidence to help answer these questions but this is also a multi-layered story in which two state premiers, three judges and a crime reporter who rose to be an editor are shown to have made decisions or reached conclusions which were at least perverse.The book calls for a posthumous pardon in one murder case and for another murder case to be re-opened.Holding the stage through this story of murders, organised crime, perjury, planted evidence, invented confessions, protection from on high, a major heroin importation, a bank robbery, political corruption, protection rackets and other appalling behaviour is the man who struck fear into even a federal political leader, Glen Patrick Hallahan, the most dangerous detective.Meet memorable characters, such as:Shirley Brifman, who wore the cast-offs from 12 brothers and sisters growing up in country Queensland before becoming Sydney's richest madame; Col Bennett, a 43-year-old bespectacled barrister who's prepared to fight with his fists as well as with eloquence; John Milligan, a slightly effeminate former judge's associate with the IQ of a genius who gets his kicks by becoming a criminal;Gunther Bahnemann, double Iron Cross winner and crocodile wrestler, who becomes a successful author from a prison cell.Author Steve Bishop was a senior reporter and feature writer for Queensland's Sunday Sun from 1982 to 1989 and finished his career as principal media advisor to Premier Peter Beattie from 1998 to 2007.A journalist since 1965, he gained a master's degree in journalism in 1998 with research which included an 85,000-word thesis on why and how the media had failed to expose endemic corruption in Queensland in the 30 years between 1957 and 1987.Further information: www.stevebishop.net

Peter Corbett, a local lawyer, his wife, Joan, and their three children make the decision to move away from the war zone after their house, and Corbett's offices, are destroyed. They move aboard their small yacht, kept on the river Hamble, but quickly realise that escaping to ports further from Southampton is the only answer. However, because of the fears of cholera and other diseases, many ports are under quarantine. Whilst on the open water of the English Channel, the Corbetts go to the assistance of some downed British naval pilots. Their commanding officer suggests that the family should head for the French port of Brest - where Corbett may volunteer for war service and his family may board a liner for the safety of Canada.
