<b>'Vivid and precise, deliciously cool-eyed, immensely readable' Jonathan Franzen</b><br/><br/><b>'Evokes the narrative power of classic Anne Tyler' Janice Y.K. Lee, author of <i>The Piano Teacher</i><br/></b><br/>Joan Liang's life is a series of surprising developments: she never thought she would leave Taiwan (and for all places, California), nor did she expect her first marriage to implode - especially as quickly and spectacularly as it did. She definitely did not expect to fall in love with an older, wealthy American and become his fourth wife and mother to his youngest children. Through all this she asks herself the question familiar to so many of us: what are we living for? And are we ever truly satisfied?<br/><br/> Vivid, comic and intensely moving, <i>The Satisfaction Cafe</i> is a novel about all of the joy, sorrow, betrayal and beauty that come with marriage and family - and above all, about life's endless capacity to surprise us.

On an impulse, and pretending she needs to do some last-minute shopping, Mona leaves her family and heads out into the city to visit her estranged mentor, Milton Katz, the legendary director who has been forced out of the theatre company he founded amid accusations of sexual misconduct. Mona's escape turns into an overnight adventure that brings her face-to-face with her past, with her creative power and its limitations, and ultimately, with all the people she has ever loved.<br/><br/> At once funny and sad and wise, <i>Mona Acts Out</i> is a deeply moving novel about acting and telling the truth, about how we all play roles to negotiate our lives, and how the great roles teach us how to live.<br/><br/><b>Praise for <i>MISCHA BERLINSKI</i></b><br/><br/><b>Mona Acts Out</b><br/><br/> 'An instant-classic New York novel about theater, aging, sex and love' Joshua Cohen, author of Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>The Netanyahus</i><br/><br/> 'Berlinski deserves a standing ovation for this bravura performance.' <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br/><br/> 'Wonderfully constructed, witty, warm, wise, and filled with an extraordinary sense of the relation between theater and life' <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br/><br/><b>Peacekeeping</b><br/><br/> 'Powerfully intelligent . . .

<b>Can a name shape the course of a life?</b><br/><br/>In the wake of the 1987 storm, Cora sets off with her 9-year-old daughter Maia to register her son's birth. Her husband Gordon, a local doctor, respected in the community but a terrifying and controlling presence at home, intends for her to follow his family tradition going back generations, and name the child Gordon. But on the journey there, Cora wonders if it's right to impose the burden of this name and its legacy onto her newborn son. She herself has Julian in mind, and Maia offers up her own suggestion: Bear.<br/><br/>What follows are three alternate and alternating versions of her son's life shaped by Cora's last-minute choice of name. Spanning thirty-five years, the novel takes in themes of domestic abuse, the messy ties of family, and the possibilities of autonomy and healing.<br/><br/>In prose as precise and intimate as it is thrilling, Knapp draws us in from the very first page, ushering in the tenderness of close family connections, as we follow three unforgettable journeys, each heart-pounding in its own way. With echoes of <i>Life After Life</i> by Kate Atkinson and deep characterisation reminiscent of Ann Patchett and Maggie O'Farrell, Knapp's debut will make you gasp as you root for Cora, Maia and Bear/Julian/Gordon, weighing up which has been the better life, not just for the central character but also for his mother, grandmother, and sister.
