Book Description
This chilling psychological suspense novel—think Strangers on a Train for the modern age—explores the dark side of love and the unbreakable ties that bind two sisters together. Felix and Tilda seem like the perfect couple: young and in love, a financier and a beautiful up-and-coming starlet. But behind their flawless façade, not everything is as it seems. Callie, Tilda’s unassuming twin, has watched her sister visibly shrink under Felix’s domineering love. She has looked on silently as Tilda stopped working, nearly stopped eating, and turned into a neat freak, with mugs wrapped in Saran Wrap and suspicious syringes hidden in the bathroom trash. She knows about Felix’s uncontrollable rages, and has seen the bruises on the white skin of her sister’s arms. Worried about the psychological hold that Felix seems to have over Tilda, Callie joins an Internet support group for victims of abuse and their friends. However, things spiral out of control and she starts to doubt her own judgment when one of her new acquaintances is killed by an abusive man. And then suddenly Felix dies—or was he murdered? A page-turning work of suspense that announces a stunning new voice in fiction, White Bodies will change the way you think about obsession, love, and the violence we inflict on one another—and ourselves.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Goldfinch comes an utterly riveting novel set in Mississippi of childhood, innocence, and evil. • “Destined to become a special kind of classic.” —The New York Times Book Review The setting is Alexandria, Mississippi, where one Mother’s Day a little boy named Robin Cleve Dufresnes was found hanging from a tree in his parents’ yard. Twelve years later Robin’s murder is still unsolved and his family remains devastated. So it is that Robin’s sister Harriet—unnervingly bright, insufferably determined, and unduly influenced by the fiction of Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson--sets out to unmask his killer. Aided only by her worshipful friend Hely, Harriet crosses her town’s rigid lines of race and caste and burrows deep into her family’s history of loss. Filled with hairpin turns of plot and “a bustling, ridiculous humanity worthy of Dickens” (The New York Times Book Review), The Little Friend is a work of myriad enchantments by a writer of prodigious talent.

On October 28, 1862, Hoopers break into the house of the Watson family and kill three men, injure and resultantly kill one teenage girl and rape another. Nine-year-old Nathe Watson is witness to this western North Carolina Mountain massacre, but escpaes through a window at the urging of his mother. When he returns, he finds heads of the men atop pike poles on display in his front yard. Sent to live in Tennessee with a cousin, Nathe changes his name to Milsaps for protection and stays until he reaches age twenty. He returns to the mountains, burdened with desire for revenge. He is forced to find work to sustain himself as he searches for the murderers. A young civil-war widow, Addie Fisher, and her two children, Davie and Clare, are on near starvation when Nathe comes to work with promise of food and a barn roof over his head. He is torn with fear he will be found by the Hoopers and desire for a family. Sickness, fire, and death abound, but so do love, family, and loyalty. Nathe keeps away from most residents of Rich Mountain but one, known only as Amps, seems to know too much and offer unwanted advice on things that pertain to Nathe ... things he thought no one knew. There is a fact about Addie which could threaten everything. Something Nathe never thought to ask and Addie never assumed to share.
