Mark your calendars: the A/S/L tour is here! 👾

Join author Jeanne Thornton in-person at these bookstores & libraries.

From the winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction comes a deeply affective novel set at the intersection of online nostalgia & trans identity. A/S/L is the bewitching and expansive story of three q***r friends, the video game they fail to make as teenagers in the '90s, the code(s) they learn to survive, and their lives and relationships twenty years later, when all three have wound up in the NYC area. They’ve never met IRL, but also never forgotten each other or their unfinished project.

“William Boyle, a master of atmosphere, crafts a gritty world of tough-talkers, heavy-drinkers, and good folks just trying to make ends meet . . . Despite being a neighborhood in one of the largest cities in the world, Boyle’s Gravesend feels insular and intimate, and readers may find themselves emerging from the novel, back into the real world, talking with a little bit of Brooklyn flair.”
—BookBrowse

SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET is a BookBrowse Top Pick. Read the full review and accompanying Beyond the Book article "Gravesend, Brooklyn Over the Years” now.

William Boyle's latest page-turner is both a noirish crime thriller and an intimate family portrait of love and longing

On sale today: BROKEN FIELDS by Marcie R. Rendon 🌾

Cash Blackbear, a young Ojibwe woman and occasional sleuth, is back on the case after a man is found dead on a rural Minnesota farm in the next installment of the acclaimed Native crime series.

Minnesota, 1970s: It’s spring in the Red River Valley and Cash Blackbear is doing fieldwork for a local farmer—until she finds him dead on the kitchen floor of the property’s rented farmhouse. The tenant, a Native field laborer, and his wife are nowhere to be found, but Cash discovers their young daughter, Shawnee, cowering under a bed. The girl, a possible witness to the killing, is too terrified to speak.

In the wake of the murder, Cash can’t deny her intuitive abilities: she is suspicious of the farmer’s grieving widow, who offers to take in Shawnee temporarily. While Cash is scouring White Earth Reservation for Shawnee’s missing mother—whom Cash wants to find before the girl is put in the foster system—another body turns up. Concerned by the escalating threat, Cash races against the clock to figure out the truth of what happened in the farmhouse.

BROKEN FIELDS is a compelling, atmospheric read woven with details of American Indian life in northern Minnesota, abusive farm labor practices and women’s liberation.

Looking for your next book club read? 📚

We recommend THE DARKEST CHILD by Delores Phillips, the captivating and award-winning modern classic, available in paperback with an illuminating introduction by Tayari Jones (An American Marriage), an excerpt from the never before seen follow-up novel, and a discussion guide perfect for your book club conversations.

Pakersfield, Georgia, 1958: Thirteen-year-old Tangy Mae Quinn is the sixth of ten fatherless siblings. She is the darkest-skinned among them and therefore the ugliest in her mother, Rozelle’s, estimation, but she’s also the brightest. Rozelle—beautiful, charismatic, and light-skinned—exercises a violent hold over her children. Fearing abandonment, she pulls them from school at the age of twelve and sends them to earn their keep for the household, whether in domestic service, in the fields, or at “the farmhouse” on the edge of town, where Rozelle beds local men for money.

But Tangy Mae has been selected to be part of the first integrated class at a nearby white high school. She has a chance to change her life, but can she break from Rozelle’s grasp without ruinous—even fatal—consequences?

"This isn’t a crime novel that relies merely on suspense. Rather, we eagerly read SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET because of its beautifully rendered characters and haunting sense of place . . . Boyle is able to do what today’s best crime fiction writers do so well—tell a captivating, page-turning thriller, but one defined by its characters and the choices they make, rather than the circumstances into which they have been thrust. This subtle difference blurs any imaginary line between genre and great literature, and results in quiet moments of grace, of pain and love."—The Washington Post

Boyle’s novel “Saint of the Narrows Street” captures the feel of a Brooklyn neighborhood and the characters whose lives are shaped by violence.
