New Adult Fiction: Tuesday, August 13

Why not stop by the library this week to see what’s new on the shelves. We’ve got a number of new books and other media for you to review. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

The Still Point

Ever, Lindsay, and Josie have ushered their daughters through years of dance classes. But now Etienne Bernay, enfant terrible of French ballet, has come to their conservatory. He’s brought along a film crew to document his search for one special student who will receive a full scholarship to the Ballet de Paris Académie. For the girls, this is the chance to fulfill lifelong dreams. But it’s behind the scenes that will yield the most shocking revelations, exposing the secrets and lies at the heart of all three families — and the sacrifices women make for their children, for friendship, and for art.

They Dream in Gold

When Bonnie and Mansour meet in New York in 1968 their connection is undeniable. As Mansour’s soaring Senegalese melodies break new ground, they take him and Bonnie from Paris to Rio and Switzerland, it seems as though happiness might finally be around the corner for them both. Then Mansour goes missing. Bonnie reckons with her memories of him, and comes to understand that the hopes of so many women rest on her perseverance. Stirred by the life growing inside her, Bonnie puts a plan in action to find him.

The Stellar Debut of Galactica Macfee

Angus Lordie is approached in the park by a shadowy, Deep Throat like figure with government secrets to share, who mistakes him for a journalist. Now Angus is privy to some controversial plans of the Scottish Parliament — but just what is he meant to do about it? Elsewhere, Big Lou’s husband Bob hires a personal trainer who changes his entire outlook on life, much to Lou’s dismay. At the schoolhouse, young Bertie Pollock’s class has a new ringleader, Galactica MacFee. And the indomitable Irene again finds herself in Edinburgh . . . and it looks like there might be romance in the air.
