A Novel

With masterful storytelling and unexpected twists, Kristin Koval’s debut novel Penitence is a multigenerational story of grief and hope that asks powerful questions: When and why should we forgive? And are some things unforgivable? Late one night in Lodgepole, Colorado, 13-year-old Nora Sheehan fatally shoots her older brother Nico in their family’s home. Her parents, Angie and David, recruit small-town lawyer Martine Dumont in their fight against an overreaching prosecutor determined to try Nora as an adult, but soon-to-be-retired Martine faces a crucial challenge in building the defense: Nora refuses to speak. Several years before, Nico was diagnosed with juvenile Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative illness with a grim prognosis, and the family must now grieve Nico’s death earlier than expected. Angie, unsure how to continue loving her daughter, refuses to visit Nora in jail, and her marriage to David is on the brink of falling apart. David, desperate for help, asks Martine’s son Julian—a successful New York criminal defense attorney and Angie’s ex-boyfriend—to step in on the case. When Julian arrives in Lodgepole, he and Angie are forced to consider their former life together in New York and their joint culpability in a tragic accident decades ago. For readers of Ann Patchett and Celeste Ng, Penitence is a compelling and intimate portrait of a family pulled apart in the wake of tragedy that will leave readers and book clubs thinking long into the night.

Inspired by C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, this wild and wondrous novel is a fairy tale for grown-ups who still knock on the back of wardrobes—just in case—from the author of The Wishing Game. “This wildly imaginative book speaks to every reader who yearns for a more magical world.”—Thao Thai, author of Banyan Moon, a Today show Read with Jenna pick As boys, best friends Jeremy Cox and Rafe Howell went missing in a vast West Virginia state forest, only to mysteriously reappear six months later with no explanation for where they’d gone or how they’d survived. Fifteen years after their miraculous homecoming, Rafe is a reclusive artist who still bears scars inside and out but has no memory of what happened during those months. Meanwhile, Jeremy has become a famed missing persons’ investigator. With his uncanny abilities, he is the one person who can help vet tech Emilie Wendell find her sister, who vanished in the very same forest as Rafe and Jeremy. Jeremy alone knows the fantastical truth about the disappearances, for while the rest of the world was searching for them, the two missing boys were in a magical realm filled with impossible beauty and terrible danger. He believes it is there that they will find Emilie’s sister. However, Jeremy has kept Rafe in the dark since their return for his own inscrutable reasons. But the time for burying secrets comes to an end as the quest for Emilie’s sister begins. The former lost boys must confront their shared past, no matter how traumatic the memories. Alongside the headstrong Emilie, Rafe and Jeremy must return to the enchanted world they called home for six months—for only then can they get back everything and everyone they’ve lost.
