"Fantastisk roman! Jag njöt verkligen av denna strålande läsupplevelse!" Monica Lindgren, Gokväll.
En legend på liv och död
Vintern 1789 begravs en man i isen när Kennebec River fryser. Som traktens barnmorska tillkallas Martha Ballard för att undersöka kroppen och fastställa dödsorsak. Men hennes upptäckter gillas inte och vittnesmålet ogiltigförklaras av stadens mäktiga herrar.
När det visar sig att den döde är kopplad till en våldtäkt som Martha har dokumenterat skadorna efter bestämmer hon sig för att ta utredningen i egna händer.
Den långa vinterns år bygger på verkliga dagboksanteckningar. Det är en spännande och känslosam berättelse om Marthas Ballards kamp för rättvisan, i en tid då kvinnors rättigheter var upp till männen. Hennes orädda handlande hotar både hennes älskades liv, och utsätter de kvinnor hon förlöser för fara. Det blir en vinter som ingen i Hallowell någonsin kommer att glömma.

Den långa vinterns år har sålt mer än en miljon exemplar och fått över 300 000 femstjärniga omdömen på internationella läsarforum. Den har också utnämnts till: GMA Book Club Pick, NPR Book of the Year, People Magazine Book of the Week, Amazon Editor's Pick, Indie Next List, Book of the Month Add On, Kirkus Book of the Year samt nominerats till Goodreads Choice Award och Dublin Literary Award.

From three bestselling authors comes an interwoven tale about a trio of World War II nurses stationed in the South Pacific who wage their own battle for freedom and survival.The Philippines, 1941. When U.S. Navy nurse Eleanor Lindstrom, U.S. Army nurse Penny Franklin, and Filipina nurse Lita Capel forge a friendship at the Army Navy Club in Manila, they believe they’re living a paradise assignment. All three are seeking a way to escape their pasts, but soon the beauty and promise of their surroundings give way to the heavy mantle of war.Caught in the crosshairs of a fight between the U.S. military and the Imperial Japanese Army for control of the Philippine Islands, the nurses are forced to serve under combat conditions and, ultimately, endure captivity as the first female prisoners of the Second World War. As their resiliency is tested in the face of squalid living arrangements, food shortages, and the enemy’s blatant disregard for the articles of the Geneva Convention, the women strive to keep their hope— and their fellow inmates—alive, though not without great cost.In this sweeping story based on the true experiences of nurses dubbed “the Angels of Bataan,” three women shift in and out of each other’s lives through the darkest days of the war, buoyed by their unwavering friendship and distant dreams of liberation.“Three of the biggest powerhouses in historical fiction come together to pen this breathtaking story of three nurses serving in the Philippines during the Second World War.” —PAM JENOFF, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman with the Blue Star World War II historical fiction inspired by real-life experiencesStand-alone novelIncludes discussion questions for book clubsAlso by authors: Code Name Hélène, The Ways We Hide, The Nature of Fragile Things

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Frozen River, this “genuinely surprising whodunit” (USA Today) reimagines the tantalizing suspense surrounding a scandalous murder mystery that rocked the nation.“This book is more meticulously choreographed than a chorus line. It all pays off.”—The New York Times Book ReviewOne summer night in 1930, Judge Joseph Crater steps into a New York City cab and is never heard from again. Behind this great man are three women, each with her own tale to tell: Stella, his fashionable wife, the picture of propriety; Maria, their steadfast maid, indebted to the judge; and Ritzi, his showgirl mistress, willing to seize any chance to break out of the chorus line.As the twisted truth emerges, Ariel Lawhon’s wickedly entertaining debut mystery transports us into the smoky jazz clubs, seedy backstage dressing rooms, and shadowy streets beneath the Art Deco skyline.

Meanwhile, Crater is equally indebted to Tammany Hall leaders and the city''s most notorious gangster, Owney "The Killer" Madden.On a sultry summer night, as rumors circulate about the judge''s involvement in wide-scale political corruption, the Honorable Joseph Crater steps into a cab and disappears without a trace. Or does he?After 39 years of necessary duplicity, Stella Crater is finally ready to reveal what she knows. Sliding into a plush leather banquette at Club Abbey, the site of many absinthe-soaked affairs and the judge''s favorite watering hole back in the day, Stella orders two whiskeys on the rocks—one for her and one in honor of her missing husband. Stirring the ice cubes in the lowball glass, Stella begins to tell a tale—of greed, lust, and deceit. As the novel unfolds and the women slyly break out of their prescribed roles, it becomes clear that each knows more than she has initially let on.With a layered intensity and prose as effervescent as the bubbly that flows every night, The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress is a wickedly entertaining historical mystery that will transport readers to a bygone era with tipsy spins through subterranean jazz clubs and backstage dressing rooms. But beneath the Art Deco skyline and amid the intoxicating smell of smoke and whiskey, the question of why Judge Crater disappeared lingers seductively until a twist in the very last pages.

From three bestselling authors comes an interwoven tale about a trio of World War II nurses stationed in the South Pacific who wage their own battle for freedom and survival.
The Philippines, 1941. When U.S. Navy nurse Eleanor Lindstrom, U.S. Army nurse Penny Franklin, and Filipina nurse Lita Capel forge a friendship at the Army Navy Club in Manila, they believe they’re living a paradise assignment. All three are seeking a way to escape their pasts, but soon the beauty and promise of their surroundings give way to the heavy mantle of war.
Caught in the crosshairs of a fight between the U.S. military and the Imperial Japanese Army for control of the Philippine Islands, the nurses are forced to serve under combat conditions and, ultimately, endure captivity as the first female prisoners of the Second World War. As their resiliency is tested in the face of squalid living arrangements, food shortages, and the enemy''s blatant disregard for the articles of the Geneva Convention, the women strive to keep their hope— and their fellow inmates—alive, though not without great cost.
In this sweeping story based on the true experiences of nurses dubbed "the Angels of Bataan," three women shift in and out of each other''s lives through the darkest days of the war, buoyed by their unwavering friendship and distant dreams of liberation.
"A novel rich in historical detail that immerses readers in the dangers and deprivation WWII nurses suffered in the Pacific, wrapped up with a hopeful ending." -Booklist
