BOOK OF THE WEEK

Every Summer After
They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek – the man she never thought she’d have to live without. Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever. Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.

Lessons in Chemistry
Author Bonnie Garmus’ shrewd and funny debut follows the fate of brilliant Elizabeth Zott, who uses her success as a chemist – and later, an unlikely cooking show star – to change the status quo for women in repressive 1960s America. An adaptation of Lessons in Chemistry is slated for Apple TV+ next year, with Brie Larson in the lead role.

All Good People Here
In the propulsive debut novel from the host of the #1 true crime podcast "Crime Junkie," a journalist (Margot) uncovers her hometown’s dark secrets when she becomes obsessed with the unsolved murder of her childhood neighbour – and the disappearance of another girl twenty years later. The deeper Margot digs into Natalie’s disappearance, the more resistance she encounters, and the colder January’s case feels. Could the killer still be out there? Could it be the same person who kidnapped Natalie? And what will it cost to finally discover what truly happened that night?
