AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER
#1 New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb, celebrated for two prior Oprah Book Club selections, returns with an exceptional third pick, a propulsive novel following a young father grappling with unbearable tragedy as he searches for hope, redemption, and the possibility of forgiveness.
Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage to his beloved Emily into a tailspin. And that’s before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences small acts of kindness and elemental kinship with a prison librarian who sees his light and some of his fellow offenders, including a tender-hearted cellmate and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them and by his mother’s enduring faith in him, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?

Welcome to North Falls—a small town where everyone knows everyone. Or so they think. Until the night of the fireworks. When two teenage girls vanish, and the town ignites. For Officer Emmy Clifton, it’s personal. She turned away when her best friend's daughter needed help—and now she must bring her home. But as Emmy combs through the puzzle the girls left behind, she realizes she never really knew them. Nobody did. Every teenage girl has secrets. But who would kill for them? And what else is the town hiding?

Alice isn't like the other Storm siblings. While the rest stayed to battle for their parents' approval, attention, and untold billions, she left, building her own life beyond the family’s name and influence. Nothing could induce her to come back, except the shocking death of her larger-than-life father. Now back on the family’s private island off the Rhode Island coast, she plans to keep her head down, pay the last of her respects, and leave the minute the funeral is over. Unfortunately, her father had other plans.

Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives.

Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident.

With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Keeps you guessing

Auteur(s): Ashley Flowers, Autres
For me, it was totally worth it. It’s one of the most beautifully written and gut-wrenchingly tragic stories I’ve read in a long time and the characters will stay with me long after the final page. I absolutely loved it! The narrator was perfection. Five stars, and fair warning: you’ll need tissues. 💔
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful and Gut-wrenching
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
This is a tough read. It pushes us to the edge of our comfort zones and forces us to grapple with messy questions about blame, forgiveness, marriage, parenthood, loyalty, and what redemption really means.
Some of the one-star reviews I’ve read say they just couldn’t forgive Corby. He did something terrible and should be punished forever. But real life, especially when it comes to mental illness, addiction, and the loss of a child under tragic circumstances, is seldom black and white. There are layers and complications. Things that can’t be neatly explained.
Years ago, my family lived through a similar tragedy that changed us. Because of that, Corby’s experience—and the way he processes the unthinkable—felt so true to me. The same goes for Emily, his wife, and the way she tries to move on after the worst has happened. Grief is raw and unpredictable, and it looks different for everyone. There isn’t an instruction manual.
This story did hit a lot of nerves, but I found the ending to be healing for many of the characters we get to know throughout the story.
I can’t say I loved the book, exactly, but it felt important. And the writing was honest.
Some readers are p*ssed with Lamb weaving his political views into the story, but I say—go for it, Wally. Say what needs saying!
This book won’t be for everyone. But I’m glad I listened to it. The narrator, Jeremy Sisto, was brilliant.
A Tough Listen but a Brilliant One

Brilliantly written and narrated. Realities of humanity both good and bad so it can be a tough listen at times. Well developed characters highlighting tragedy, transformation and hope. Still catching my breath.
Excellent story and narrator. Would highly recommend. Caution to anyone who could be triggered by the subjects covered.
