Sylvia’s life in London was spy, spy, spy all day long. Their daughter Alice (Issy Knopfler) was getting married and Sylvia headed there for the wedding.

Louise knows the ways of the isolated island in the Chesapeake Bay on which they live. The family makes great sacrifice to encourage and develop Caroline's considerable music talent, while pretty much ignoring Louise. The analogy of Louise and Caroline to Esau and Jacob is clear. It is the grandmother who cruelly whispers to Louise the verse from the Bible from which the title is taken, where God says, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated". Her grandmother obviously favors Caroline and her sharp tongue only intensifies Louise's self-doubt. ![]() All her life, Louise has felt robbed of proper schooling, friends, mother, and even her name (Sara Louise into Wheeze), by her beautiful, talented, popular twin sister, Caroline. ![]() ![]() This thoughtful novel, set in Chesapeake Bay in the 1940s, deals with sibling rivalry and is rich in psychology, geography, and human nature.

It’s pretend-IKEA! There are wormholes! That’s an excellent premise, and I’d have been there for it. My favorite thing about Finna is that Nino Cipri could have easily let the jokey premise be the book. As the two newest employees, Ava and Jules are tapped to go chasing through the multiverse together to find the missing woman. To make matters worse, a customer’s grandmother goes missing in the depths of the store, and it becomes pretty obvious that she’s disappeared into a wormhole. Of course, she’s sharing a shift with Jules, and it’s awkward as fuck. Ava has organized her work schedule at Not!IKEA to avoid any contact with her ex, Jules, and she is therefore deeply resentful of being called in to sub on a day she was supposed to have off. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lazlo Ratesic is 54, a 19-year veteran of the Speculative Service, from a family of law enforcement and in a strange alternate society that values law and truth above all else. ![]() who wouldn’t go to jail? This is a top-notch story with serious Margaret Atwood vibes, and I can’t wait for people to put themselves in Ben Winters’s imagination! I mean, no white lies, no false advertising, no lying with good intentions. This book is so inventive and the writing so believable that I got goosebumps imagining a world where no one could lie. So when the people who make the rules start breaking the rules, it’s up to Laszlo and his fellow Service members to fight back against corruption and bring truth to the people-so long as they can figure out who to trust. Like, their spidey senses actually tingle when someone isn’t being truthful (!), allowing them to seek out and punish liars. Laszlo Ratesic is a skilled member of the Speculative Service, a special branch of the Golden State government that employs a select few who can sense when lies are being told. ![]() A wildly imaginative tale of a future California where citizens are subject to constant scrutiny, and lying is the most serious offense a person can commit?
