Synopsis

In "The Land of Strong Men," part of the Chisholm Westerns Collection, Arthur Murray Chisholm weaves a gripping narrative set against the rugged backdrop of the American West. This novel encapsulates the archetypal characteristics of the Western genre—honor, courage, and the struggle for survival—while employing a vivid, descriptive style that immerses readers in the stark yet beautiful landscapes. Chisholm's adept use of dialogue and character development breathes life into his protagonists, offering keen insights into their moral dilemmas and the societal norms of their time, thus situating the work within the broader context of early 20th-century American literature that seeks to capture the essence of frontier life. Arthur Murray Chisholm was a notable figure in the literary depiction of Western themes, drawing inspiration from both historical accounts and personal experience with the American frontier. His understanding of the rugged individualism that defined the era informs the authenticity of the characters and settings he portrays. Chisholm's background as a storyteller and his keen observations of human nature perch him as a significant voice in shaping the Western narrative, contributing richly to the genre. Readers who are drawn to tales of grit, resilience, and the enduring spirit of adventure will find "The Land of Strong Men" an exhilarating exploration of the West. This novel is not just a rip-roaring adventure but a profound commentary on the nature of strength and humanity, making it an essential addition to any enthusiast's collection of Western literature.

    ONE OF TIME'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024"An evocative, touching, and--in multiple senses--moving portrait of Zambian life and politics at a moment of great transformation. And in the tradition of Zambian storytelling, it shows us, it teaches us, how ordinary people like Grace, in extraordinary circumstances and under persistent forces of oppression, can neverthless extend and bend the arc of justice." —Namwali Serpell, author of The Furrows: An ElegyA missing boy. A corrupt system. A case that could change everything…When young queer dancer Wilbess “Bessy” Mulenga is arrested by corrupt police, fresh-from-the-village rookie lawyer Grace Zulu takes up his cause in her first pro bono case. Presented with a freshly beaten client, Grace protests to the police and gets barred from accessing Bessy, who then disappears from the system—and the world—without a trace. As she fights for justice for Bessy, Grace must navigate a dangerous world of corrupt politicians, traditional beliefs, and deep-seated homophobia. With the help of a former freedom fighter and the head of her law firm, who’s rallying for one last fight as AIDS takes its toll on him, Grace brings together a coalition of unions, students, and political opposition to take on the corrupt administration of President Kaunda. But will justice prevail in the face of such overwhelming odds? The Lions' Den is a gripping and enduring novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. With unforgettable characters and a thrilling plot, Iris Mwanza has announced herself as a major new talent in fiction.

    A "beautifully written" Pulitzer Prize–winning novel about prejudice and a distinguished family's secrets in the American South (The Atlantic Monthly). 
 
 
 
Seven generations of the Howland family have lived in the Alabama plantation home built by an ancestor who fought for Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812. Over the course of a century, the Howlands accumulated a fortune, fought for secession, and helped rebuild the South, establishing themselves as one of the most respected families in the state. But that history means little to Abigail Howland. 
 
 
  
The inheritor of the Howland manse, Abigail hides the long-buried secret of her grandfather's thirty-year relationship with his African American mistress. Her fortunes reverse when her family's mixed-race heritage comes to light and her community—locked in the prejudices of the 1960s—turns its back on her. Faced with such deep-seated racism, Abigail is pushed to defend her family at all costs. 
 
 
  
A "novel of real magnitude," The Keepers of the House is an unforgettable story of family, tradition, and racial injustice set against the richly drawn backdrop of the American South (Kirkus Reviews).
