FICTION NONFICTION Indie Bestsellers Hardcover Week of 11.15.17 = Debut The Wine Lover’s Daughter: A Memoir, by Anne Fadiman (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $25) “I loved this memoir! The reader does not need to care about wine or know who Anne Fadiman is or Clifton Fadiman was. This is a book about family and how the differences between us can be one of the many things that actually draw us together. It is also about the life of a man who became a literary critic, editor, and radio host and was also the author’s beloved father. Anne Fadiman is a fine writer with an ability to bring life to a variety of subjects, as has been shown in her previous essays and memoirs. One of the best memoirs to arrive on our scene in quite a while.” —Penny McConnel, Norwich Bookstore, Norwich, VT Other Indie Favorites Wonder Valley: A Novel, by Ivy Pochoda (Ecco, $26.99) “A man running naked among the gridlocked cars of an L.A. freeway is the catalyst for this dark tale set in the rough neighborhoods of a decidedly unglamorous Los Angeles. In this version of the city, it’s not only the poor and the powerless who are desperate; even the better-off characters turn out to be broken sinners who crave hope and redemption. The gritty beauty of Pochoda’s writing, whether about cruelty and violence or about love, no matter how desperate, pulled me into the characters’ lives and compelled me to keep reading all night.” —Francesca De Stefano, Books Inc., San Francisco, CA Based on reporting from hundreds of independent bookstores across America.

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteTruevine: Two Brothers, a Kidnapping, and a Mother’s Quest: A True Story of the Jim Crow South, by Beth Macy (Back Bay Books, $17.99) “In the early 20th century, Albino African American brothers are kidnapped by unscrupulous and racist circus managers who not only steal their earnings from their work as freak show performers, but also tell their mother that they are dead. The mother's persistent and heroic fight through legal channels to recoup her sons' wages and achieve a better standard of living is at the heart of this true story, an inside look at the historical depths of American racism.” —Joan Grenier, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT
= Debut
For Teen Readers I Hate Everyone But You, by Gaby Dunn, Allison Raskin (Wednesday Books, $18.99) “I Hate Everyone But You is the real-time unfolding of what it’s like to move on and grow up. It is light and charming with unique characters, but still explores some of the biggest and heaviest first experiences that young adults find universal. The tough push-and-pull Ava and Gen act out with one another as they learn to balance different parts of their identities and expression feels fully realized and absolutely (unfortunately) relatable. The format feels authentic and accessible, making it a perfect light read with plenty of gravity and memorable moments.” —Johanna Albrecht, Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, NC

For Ages 9 to 12 The Explorer, by Katherine Rundell (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, $16.99) “Stranded in the Amazon after a plane crash, four tenacious children band together, summoning courage and creativity to find their way back home. Readers will be transfixed as the survivors build a raft, mimic monkeys to harvest honey, discover the unique fishy-chicken flavor of tarantula, and adopt an orphaned sloth. Rundell’s story of adversity and friendship is a must for readers who love survival stories like Hatchet, and anyone with an adventurous spirit!” —Sara Grochowski, McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petoskey, MI
