Twelve-year-old Miles is one of the last boys alive, and his mother, Cole, will protect him at all costs. On the run after a horrific act of violence-and pursued by Cole''s own ruthless sister, Billie-all Cole wants is to raise her kid somewhere he won''t be preyed on as a reproductive resource or a sex object or a stand-in son. To get there, Cole and Miles must journey across a changed America in disguise as mother and daughter, even as Billie and her sinister crew draw closer. Afterland brilliantly blends psychological suspense, American noir, and science fiction into an adventure all its own.

I Hold a Wolf by the Ears presents a collection of women on the verge, trying to grasp what''s left of life: grieving, divorced, and hyperaware, searching, vulnerable, and unhinged, they exist in a world that deviates from our own only when you look too closely. With remarkable control and transcendent talent, Laura van den Berg dissolves, in the words of the narrator of "Slumberland," "that border between magic and annihilation," and further establishes herself as a defining fiction writer of our time.

Locked away in solitary confinement, Nahr spends her days reflecting on the events that landed her in prison in a country she barely knows. Born in Kuwait to Palestinian refugees, she dreamed of falling in love, raising children, and opening her own beauty salon. Instead, the man she thinks she loves jilts her, her family teeters on the brink of poverty, she''s forced to prostitute herself, and the US invasion of Iraq makes her a refugee. She arrives in Palestine, where she finally makes a home, falls in love, and her destiny unfolds under Israeli occupation. Against the Loveless World presents a searing, darkly funny, and unique portrait of a woman who refuses to be a victim.

Born just ten months apart, July and September are thick as thieves, never needing anyone but each other. The teens have moved away with their single mother to a long-abandoned family home near the shore, where July finds that the deep bond she has always shared with September is shifting in ways she cannot understand. Meanwhile, outside, the sisters push boundaries of behavior-until a series of shocking encounters tests the limits of their shared experience, and forces shocking revelations about the girls'' past and future. Sisters is a taut, powerful, and deeply moving account of sibling love and what happens when two sisters must face each other''s darkest impulses.

Taking care to prepare a meal for yourself is a different experience than cooking for others. It can be a fun, casual, and (of course) delicious affair, but there are challenges, from avoiding a fridge full of half-used ingredients to ending up with leftovers that become boring after the third reheat.
