Marnie MacGraw just wants an ordinary, domestic life with a husband, kids, and a minivan in the suburbs. Marrying the man of her dreams is wish come true for her. But when she met Blix Holliday, her fiancé’s eccentric matchmaker great-aunt who’s dying, everything changes. Just as Blix told her.

When her marriage comes to its miserable end two weeks later, Marnie is still shocked. This was even more so when she discovered that Blix left her Brooklyn brownstone and all her unfinished “projects”—the heartbroken, unconventional friends and neighbors who are desperately in need of happiness. Marnie doesn’t believe she’s special but Blix knew that she was the perfect person take over her matchmaker calling.

Blix was also right about the things Marnie has to learn the hard way: love is not easy to recognize and the ones who push love away are the ones who often need it most.

    Wanting nothing to do with men, a beautiful young woman founds a women's university, where no man can enter. But as the master Tennyson writes, "Life is brief but love is long"; love will find a way; and the prince to whom the young woman was betrothed in infancy disguises himself into a woman and enters the grounds...This classic narrative poem continues to captivate generation after generation of listeners and it is no wonder why: "Better not be at all than not be noble."

    Now a major motion picture: A “deliciously wicked and amusing” tale of a cranky curmudgeon investigating strange goings-on at an English country house (The New York Times).   “I’ve suffered for my art, now it’s your turn.” So begins the story of Ted Wallace, unaffectionately known as the Hippopotamus. Failed poet, failed theater critic, failed father and husband, Ted is a shameless womanizer, drinks too much, and is at odds in his cranky but maddeningly logical way with most of modern life.   Fired from his job at the newspaper, Ted seeks a few months’ repose and free liquor at Swafford Hall, the country mansion of his old friend Michael Logan. This world of boozy dinners, hunting parties, and furtive liaisons has recently been turned on its head by miracles, healings, and phenomena beyond Ted’s comprehension. As the mysteries deepen, The Hippopotamus builds into a rollicking sendup of the classic British mystery that is “tremendously funny” (Christopher Buckley) and a “near-perfect book” (Entertainment Weekly).   The basis for the recent movie starring Roger Allam, Matthew Modine, and Fiona Shaw, “The Hippopotamus is animated by an antic sense of comedy and features a willfully feckless hero . . . Described in uproarious terms that suggest Wodehouse crossed with Waugh, Swafford emerges as a parody of every upper-class country house ever depicted in an English novel” (The New York Times).

    A quirky, brilliant novel starring Chauncey Gardiner, an enigmatic man who rises from nowhere to become a media phenomenon—“a fabulous creature of our age” (Newsweek).   One of the most beloved novels by the New York Times–bestselling and National Book Award–winning author of The Painted Bird and Pinball, Being There is the story of a mysterious man who finds himself at the center of Wall Street and Washington power—including his role as a policy adviser to the president—despite the fact that no one is quite sure where he comes from, or what he is actually talking about. Nevertheless, Chauncey “Chance” Gardiner is celebrated by the media, and hailed as a visionary, in this satirical masterpiece that became an award-winning film starring Peter Sellers.   As wise and timely as ever, Being There is “a tantalizing knuckleball of a book delivered with perfectly timed satirical hops and metaphysical flutters” (Time).

    Ginger O’Shea, not her real name, picks up a temp agency home-nurse call and crashes into the life of broke and broken bull rider Jesse McCloud, a butt-slapping cowboy with an attitude. Ginger meets the mutilated body of Jesse’s girlfriend up close and personal, and her nursing skills may kill Jesse, who can’t compete, but needs money. Then Jesse’s grandmother Thelma suddenly dies, leaving no will in sight. 
Charismatic developer Victor Marlowe has the perfect solution: Sell Thelma’s rundown Strawberry Canyon Ranch to him. Instead, Ginger starts selling ranch strawberries at the farmer’s market with surprising results. Ginger and Jesse cannot deny the chemistry between them, but Nursing Rule #1 says: Do not fall for the patient, especially if he is a murderer and a thief, or worse yet, a cowboy.
