NEW HEATHER'S PICKS & INDIGO SPOTLIGHT
Indigo CEO and Chief Booklover, Heather Reisman has announced three new Heather's Picks: The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan, The Family Cooks by Laurie David and The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh.
The Opposite of Loneliness is an affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection of essays and stories from Marina Keegan, the talented young Yale graduate whose title essay captured the world's attention in 2012 and turned her into an icon for her generation.
In The Family Cooks, Laurie David inspires parents and kids to take control of what they eat by making it themselves. With her longtime collaborator, Kirstin Uhrenholdt, David offers more than 100 recipes that are simple, fast, "low in the bad stuff and high in the good stuff," and designed to bring kids into the cooking process.
In her debut novel The Weight of Blood, Laura McHugh proves herself a masterful storyteller in this urgent look at the dark side of a rural landscape beyond the arm of the law, where a person can easily disappear without a trace.
The Indigo Spotlight program introduces readers to a new standout title every month selected and curated by our expert book buyers. We're pleased to announce that May's Indigo Spotlight title is All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. A blind refugee girl form occupied Paris. A young man, caught up in the German war machine. Doerr's latest is simply the best historical fiction you'll read this year.
