A Novel

From the author of the “funny, sexy, and absurdly entertaining” (Marie Claire) Playing with Matches, a sweeping love story in the vein of Rebecca Serle and Chloe Benjamin about a woman who knows the date she’ll meet her true love—only he isn’t quite as perfect as she always imagined. What if you knew exactly when you’d meet the love of your life? Edie Meyer knows. When her Grandma Gloria was a young woman, she had a vision of the exact day she would meet her soul mate—and then Grandpa Ray showed up. Since then, Gloria has accurately predicted the day every single member of the family has met their match. Edie’s day arrives on June 24, 2022, when she’s twenty-nine years old. She has been waiting for it half her life. That morning, she boards an airplane to her twin sister’s surprise engagement, and when a handsome musician sits beside her, she knows it’s meant to be. But fate comes with more complications than Edie expected and she can’t fight the nagging suspicion that her perfect guy doesn’t have perfect timing. After a tragedy and a shocking revelation rock Edie’s carefully constructed world, she’s forced to consider whether love chooses us, as simple as destiny, or if we choose it ourselves.

“This gentle, gorgeously written book may be one of my favorites ever.” —Jenna Bush Hager (A Today show “Read with Jenna” Book Club Selection!) “A thoughtful, beautiful multigenerational novel about love, God, jealousy, and friendship.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love “A moving portrait of love and friendship set against a backdrop of social change.” —The New York Times Book Review (Editor’s Choice) “Here is the power of the novel in its simplest, richest form: bearing intimate witness to human beings grappling with their faith and falling in love. That Wall executes it so beautifully? Well, this is exactly why we read literary fiction...The best book about faith in recent memory.” —Entertainment Weekly (A-) Charles and Lily, James and Nan. They meet in Greenwich Village in 1963 when Charles and James are jointly hired to steward the historic Third Presbyterian Church through turbulent times. Their personal differences however, threaten to tear them apart. Charles is destined to succeed his father as an esteemed professor of history at Harvard, until an unorthodox lecture about faith leads him to ministry. How then, can he fall in love with Lily—fiercely intellectual, elegantly stern—after she tells him with certainty that she will never believe in God? And yet, how can he not? James, the youngest son in a hardscrabble Chicago family, spent much of his youth angry at his alcoholic father and avoiding his anxious mother. Nan grew up in Mississippi, the devout and beloved daughter of a minister and a debutante. James’s escape from his desperate circumstances leads him to Nan and, despite his skepticism of hope in all its forms, her gentle, constant faith changes the course of his life. In The Dearly Beloved, we follow these two couples through decades of love and friendship, jealousy and understanding, forgiveness and commitment. Against the backdrop of turbulent changes facing the city and the church’s congregation, these four forge improbable paths through their evolving relationships, each struggling with uncertainty, heartbreak, and joy. A poignant meditation on faith and reason, marriage and children, and the ways we find meaning in our lives, Cara Wall’s The Dearly Beloved is a gorgeous, wise, and provocative novel that is destined to become a classic.

How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * NOW A NETFLIX FILM STARRING COLIN FIRTH * The "brilliant and almost absurdly entertaining" (Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker) true story of the most successful--and certainly the strangest--deception carried out in World War II, from the acclaimed author of The Spy and the Traitor

"Pure catnip to fans of World War II thrillers and a lot of fun for everyone else."--Joseph Kanon, The Washington Post Book World

Near the end of World War II, two British naval officers came up with a brilliant and slightly mad scheme to mislead the Nazi armies about where the Allies would attack southern Europe. To carry out the plan, they would have to rely on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.

Ben Macintyre's dazzling, critically acclaimed bestseller chronicles the extraordinary story of what happened after British officials planted this dead body--outfitted in a British military uniform with a briefcase containing false intelligence documents--in Nazi territory, and how this secret mission fooled Hitler into changing military positioning, paving the way for the Allies' drive to victory.

Rick Atkinson

The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In the second volume of his epic trilogy about the liberation of Europe in World War II, Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Atkinson tells the harrowing story of the campaigns in Sicily and Italy

In An Army at Dawn--winner of the Pulitzer Prize--Rick Atkinson provided a dramatic and authoritative history of the Allied triumph in North Africa. Now, in The Day of Battle, he follows the strengthening American and British armies as they invade Sicily in July 1943 and then, mile by bloody mile, fight their way north toward Rome.

The Italian campaign's outcome was never certain; in fact, Roosevelt, Churchill, and their military advisers engaged in heated debate about whether an invasion of the so-called soft underbelly of Europe was even a good idea. But once under way, the commitment to liberate Italy from the Nazis never wavered, despite the agonizingly high price. The battles at Salerno, Anzio, and Monte Cassino were particularly difficult and lethal, yet as the months passed, the Allied forces continued to drive the Germans up the Italian peninsula. Led by Lieutenant General Mark Clark, one of the war's most complex and controversial commanders, American officers and soldiers became increasingly determined and proficient. And with the liberation of Rome in June 1944, ultimate victory at last began to seem inevitable.

Drawing on a wide array of primary source material, written with great drama and flair, this is narrative history of the first rank. With The Day of Battle, Atkinson has once again given us the definitive account of one of history's most compelling military campaigns.

William F. Trimble

Architect of Naval Aviation

"More than any other individual, Rear Adm. William A. Moffett (1869-1933) shaped naval aviation during its critical formative years in the twenties and early thirties. In this first full biography, William F. Trimble shows that Moffett's remarkably sophisticated understanding of what later would be called the military-industrial complex laid the groundwork for the force that fought and won World War II in the Pacific." "There was little, Trimble contends, in Moffett's early career that pointed to the pivotal role he would play in naval aviation. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, the Annapolis graduate won the Medal of Honor as captain of the cruiser Chester during the 1914 landing at Veracruz. During World War I, as commanding officer of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station near Chicago, he joined with the local business elite to launch an aviation training program. Later, commanding the battleship Mississippi, he supported the formation of a ship plane unit and befriended aviation pioneer Henry Mustin, a strong advocate of fleet aviation." "Trimble shows that Moffett's real influence began with his work to establish the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics in 1921. Serving as the bureau's chief until his death, Moffett integrated the use of airplanes and airships with fleet operations, managed the introduction of new technology - most notably the aircraft carrier - and rationalized procurement and personnel. Although the Navy was traditionally "the silent service," Moffett used public relations opportunities to promote naval aviation and to defeat the military, political, and bureaucratic opponents of his agenda. Trimble describes the admiral's highly publicized confrontation with Brig. Gen. William ("Billy") Mitchell, who agitated for a unified air force at the expense of a separate naval air arm." "Recognizing Moffett's gifted stewardship of the Bureau of Aeronautics, Trimble also recounts several of his obvious failures. Among them was his avid support for the large rigid airship as a solution to naval reconnaissance problems. Moffett lost his life in 1933, when he went down with the airship Akron off the coast of New Jersey."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Air Group 12 Strikes the Heart of Japan

"Crommelin's Thunderbirds", led by the much-admired navy fighter pilot Charles Crommelin, were involved in the first carrier air strikes in Japan and the worst of the kamikaze attacks off Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Here, two pilots from the group, officially known as Air Group 12, chronicle their operations off the USS Randolph in the last stages of the Pacific war. Given the paucity of good World War II naval aviation histories, this book makes an important contribution to the field while at the same time offering a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience. The authors examine the activities of the entire group: fighters, dive-bombers, and torpedo-bombers, enlisted men and officers, pilots and aircrewmen, as well as the shipboard personnel who kept them flying. They follow the group from its formation in 1944 through the fire storms of kamikaze attacks in early to mid-1945. Official records, reports, and histories form the framework, but the focus of the book is personal narratives by participants, some forty firsthand accounts in all, including two airmen's descriptions of their capture and internment by the Japanese and accounts of incredible rescues of downed pilots and crewmen. More than fifty photographs, some by Tony Remkus, the navy photographer for Air Group 12, add to the sense of immediacy that the narrative conveys.
