The King
Abdolah's novel is rich in Persian history and culture, with lavish descriptions of palace life, but the narrative style itself is unadorned, at times appearing naïve and then sliding in something sinister. Especially satisfying for readers of historical fiction about foreign lands.

This is a fast, compelling read for nature lovers, though it's not the book to take with you while camping if you plan to sleep at all. Cameron's first novel, The Line Painter, won the Northern Lit Award from the Ontario Library Service and was nominated for an Arthur Ellis Crime Writing Award. [See Prepub Alert, 8/12/13.]

A Marker To Measure Drift
A work that sheds light on a setting great in both its beauty and violence. Without being at all imitative, this title may remind readers of Chris Cleave's Little Bee in craft and the exploration of terrible brutality and the effort it takes to survive. [See Prepub Alert, 2/4/13].
