A biologist studying patterns of sexual selection, Lucy Stone knows a lot about mating–particularly that in the animal kingdom, males will go to any length to attract females. Why, then, are their human counterparts so hopeless in courtship?This is the question that Lucy and her best friend, Martha McKenna, struggle to answer. Consider Adam, Lucy’s boyfriend of two years, who demonstrates on an ostensibly romantic camping trip that he can’t build a fire, split wood, or jump-start a car. Worse still, he’s scared to go into the woods after dark. Or take Jesse, Martha’s younger brother, an opera aficionado and neurotic extraordinaire who can’t summon the courage to make the first move on the woman he’s crazy about. And what about the extensive list of men with whom Martha has endured the torments of the first date.But then there’s Cooper Tuckington, Lucy’s best friend from college. Born and bred on his family’s West Virginia dairy farm, Cooper fits anyone’s description of a man’s man, and yet he is chivalrous and charming. During his annual visit to New York City, he rewires Lucy’s lamps, builds her shelves, and holds forth on subjects from great painters to the great outdoors, all the while pulling out chairs and opening doors for the ladies. Surely, think Martha and Lucy, the men in their lives would benefit from the tutelage of someone who knows how to treat a woman. Thus, Man Camp is born. With a little feminine persuasion, Lucy and Martha convince Adam, Jesse, and a handful of their other male acquaintances to visit Cooper’s farm, where they will learn everything a guy should know, from cars to carpentry to chivalry–and that’s just the C’s. But life on the farm isn’t exactly as it seems–and the boys soon prove themselves in ways the women would never have imagined. In the process, Lucy and Martha themselves learn a good bit about life and love.The perfect can’t-put-it-down novel for all of us who’ve needed to bring out the inner man in the men we love, Man Camp is a brilliant, witty, and insightful romp through the wilds of dating and mating.From the Hardcover edition.

A National Bestseller! “Juicy…simmers with tension as secrets explode out into the open.” —The Washington Post * “So alluring…I raced happily through the pages.” —The New York Times Book Review * “Compulsively readable.” —Vogue * “An absolutely captivating read.” —Elin Hilderbrand From the author of the bestselling memoir Wild Game comes a riveting novel about Cape Cod, complicated families, and long-buried secrets.Ken and Abby Gardner lost their mother when they were small and they have been haunted by her absence ever since. Their father, Adam, a brilliant oceanographer, raised them mostly on his own in his remote home on Cape Cod, where the attachment between Ken and Abby deepened into something complicated—and as adults their relationship is strained. Now, years later, the siblings’ lives are still deeply entwined. Ken is a successful businessman with political ambitions and a picture-perfect family and Abby is a talented visual artist who depends on her brother’s goodwill, in part because he owns the studio where she lives and works. As the novel opens, Adam is approaching his seventieth birthday, staring down his mortality and fading relevance. He has always managed his bipolar disorder with medication, but he’s determined to make one last scientific breakthrough and so he has secretly stopped taking his pills, which he knows will infuriate his children. Meanwhile, Abby and Ken are both harboring secrets of their own, and there is a new person on the periphery of the family—Steph, who doesn’t make her connection known. As Adam grows more attuned to the frequencies of the deep sea and less so to the people around him, Ken and Abby each plan the elaborate gifts they will present to their father on his birthday, jostling for primacy in this small family unit. Set in the fraught summer of 2016, Little Monsters is a “smart, page-flipping novel…[with] shades of Succession” (The Boston Globe) from a writer who knows Cape Cod inside and out—its Edenic lushness and its snakes.

Sprachgewaltig, mitreißend, erschütternd: "Wild Game" der amerikanischen Schriftstellerin Adrienne Brodeur ist ein fesselndes Buch zum Thema Mutter-Tochter-Verhältnis.Adrienne hat eine umwerfende, strahlende Mutter, die der Mittelpunkt einer jeden Gesellschaft ist. Schon ihr Name Malabar strömt reine Exotik aus. Doch Malabar ist auch eine große Egozentrikerin, und als sie sich in den besten Freund ihres Mannes verliebt, macht sie ihre Tochter zu ihrer engsten Vertrauten und stellt auf diese Weise das Mutter-Tochter-Verhältnis auf den Kopf. Bald schon lebt Adrienne ganz für die aufregende Liebesgeschichte ihrer Mutter, statt ihre eigene Jugend auszukosten. Erst als erwachsene Frau ist sie in der Lage, die Mechanismen zu erkennen, die ihr Leben geprägt haben. Und es gelingt ihr, sich mit ihrer Mutter auszusöhnen, die ihr die Jugend gestohlen hat."Das Buch ließ mich atemlos zurück." Richard Russo"Dieses atemberaubende Memoir über eine auf besondere Weise befrachtete Mutter-Tochter-Beziehung kann man nicht mehr aus der Hand legen." - Publishers Weekly"Seit Jeannette Walls ''Schloss aus Glas'' ist es keinem Memoir mehr gelungen, eine solch komplexe Familienbeziehung zu schildern, in der Liebe, Hingabe und zerstörende Geheimnisse so untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind." Ruth Ozeki"Wild Game erzählt eine außergewöhnliche Familiengeschichte. Dieses Memoir wird alle Mütter und Töchter berühren. Adrienne Brodeur erkundet so mitfühlend wie klarsichtig die emotionalen Bande, die eine Familie ausmachen – und was es bedeutet, wenn sie zerstört sind. Ein beeindruckendes Buch." Claire Messud
