SUMMARY:Mary Norris in conversation with Benjamin Dreyer about her new book Greek to Me
DESCRIPTION:In her New York Times bestseller Between You & Me\, Mary Norris delighted readers with her irreverent tales of pencils and punctuation in The New Yorker’s celebrated copy department. In Greek to Me\, she delivers another wise and funny paean to the art of self-expression\, this time filtered through her greatest passion: all things Greek.Greek to Me is a charming account of Norris’s lifelong love affair with words and her solo adventures in the land of olive trees and ouzo. Along the way\, Norris explains how the alphabet originated in Greece\, makes the case for Athena as a feminist icon\, goes searching for the fabled Baths of Aphrodite\, and reveals the surprising ways Greek helped form English. Filled with Norris’s memorable encounters with Greek words\, Greek gods\, Greek wine—and more than a few Greek men—Greek to Me is the Comma Queen’s fresh take on Greece and the exotic yet strangely familiar language that so deeply influences our own. \nBenjamin Dreyer is the author of Dreyer’s English.

SUMMARY:Susannah Marren in conversation with Jamie Brenner about Susannah's new book A Palm Beach Wife
DESCRIPTION:For readers of Elin Hilderbrand\, Susannah Marren’s A Palm Beach Wife is a delicious and irresistible novel set among the high society galas and gossip of Palm Beach. \n\n\n\n\n\nAmid the glamour and galas and parties of Palm Beach\, Faith knows that image often counts as much if not more than reality. She glides effortlessly among the highest of the high society so perfectly that you would never suspect she wasn’t born to this. But it wasn’t always so; though she hides it well\, Faith has fought hard for the wonderful life she has\, for her loving\, successful husband\, for her daughter’s future. \nIn this town of secrets and gossip and rumors\, Faith has kept a desperate grip on everything she holds so dear\, built from so little. And yet even she—the only one who knows just how far she has to fall—never suspects from which direction\, or how many directions all at once\, betrayal will come.

SUMMARY:Sarah Rose launches her new book D-Day Girls
DESCRIPTION:In D-Day Girls\, Sarah Rose draws on recently de­classified files\, diaries\, and oral histories to tell the thrilling story of three of these remarkable women. There’s Andrée Borrel\, a scrappy and streetwise Parisian who blew up power lines with the Gestapo hot on her heels; Odette Sansom\, an unhappily married suburban mother who saw the SOE as her ticket out of domestic life and into a meaningful adventure; and Lise de Baissac\, a fiercely independent member of French colonial high society and the SOE’s unflap­pable “queen.” Together\, they destroyed train lines\, ambushed Nazis\, plotted prison breaks\, and gathered crucial intelligence—laying the groundwork for the D-Day invasion that proved to be the turning point in the war.\nRigorously researched and written with razor-sharp wit\, D-Day Girls is an inspiring story for our own moment of resistance: a reminder of what courage—and the energy of politically animated women—can accomplish when the stakes seem incalculably high.
