This novel is called a companion piece to the novel Gilead. Events occur simultaneously with those in the previous book and take place in the same town of Gilead. A retired pastor, Robert Boughton, lies near his death. Two of his children, Glory and Jack, sort out their own problems while caring for their dying father.

This anonymous fourteenth-century text is one of the most practical and useful guides to finding union with God ever written. Carmen Acevedo Butcher's new translation is the first to bring the text into a modern English idiom--while remaining strictly faithful to the meaning of the original Middle English.

A new historical mystery novel from the author of An Instance of the Fingerpost. A retired reporter is hired to locate the heir of John Stone, an international financier and arms dealer. This quest leads him through three periods in the past -- London in 1909, Paris in 1890, and Venice in 1867 -- where he finally discovers the truth behind John Stone's fall to his death.
