January Staff Picks

 

Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff release date 1/29/19

1946, Manhattan. One morning while passing through Grand Central Terminal on her way to work, Grace Healey finds an abandoned suitcase tucked beneath a bench. Unable to resist her own curiosity, Grace opens the suitcase, where she discovers a dozen photographs--each of a different woman. In a moment of impulse, Grace takes the photographs and quickly leaves the station. Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to a woman named Eleanor Trigg, leader of a network of female secret agents who were deployed out of London during the war. Twelve of these women were sent to Occupied Europe as couriers and radio operators to aid the resistance, but they never returned home, their fates a mystery. Setting out to learn the truth behind the women in the photographs, Grace finds herself drawn to a young mother turned agent named Marie, whose daring mission overseas reveals a remarkable story of friendship, valor and betrayal. Vividly rendered and inspired by true events, New York Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff shines a light on the incredible heroics of the brave women of the war and weaves a mesmerizing tale of courage, sisterhood and the great strength of women to survive in the hardest of circumstances.

 

Watching You by Lisa Jewel

Watching You is a twisty cat-and-mouse thriller of voyeurism, obsession, and murder. Multiple narratives guide the action, which begins with a brutal death and works backwards to unmask the killer. A charming little English town is the ideal setting for characters who become more complex and intriguing as the pages go by. It’s not just the adults keeping a watchful eye on the neighbors and trying to uncover each other’s secrets—a couple of the local teenagers also have their own theories as to who is doing what--and with whom. Everyone in this quaint neighborhood seems to have a secret they’re desperate to keep, but whose is worth killing for? Author Lisa Jewell keeps readers guessing all the way through to an ending you won’t see coming.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018

ONE OF THE ECONOMIST’S BOOKS OF THE YEAR

The world is getting better, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. I’m glad we have brilliant thinkers like Steven Pinker to help us see the big picture. Enlightenment Now is not only the best book Pinker’s ever written. It’s my new favorite book of all time.”—Bill Gates

 

On Desperate Ground

The Marines at the Reservoir, The Korean War's Greatest Battle

by Hampton Sides

Hampton Sides’ superb account of this epic clash relies on years of archival research, unpublished letters, declassified documents, and interviews with scores of Marines and Koreans who survived the siege. While expertly detailing the follies of the American leaders, On Desperate Ground is an immediate, grunt’s-eye view of history, enthralling in its narrative pace and powerful in its portrayal of what ordinary men are capable of in the most extreme circumstances.

Try this warm comforting dish from

Bacon 24/7

by Theresa Gilliam

 

Chicken Normandy,

of Sorts

 

4 slices bacon, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)

4 skin-on, boneless chicken breasts

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup thinly sliced onions (about half a small onion)

1/2 cup dry sherry

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 crisp red apple, sliced (about 2 cups)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, reserving rendered bacon fat in the skillet. Season the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken with flour, shaking to remove the excess. Cook the chicken in the reserved bacon fat over medium heat until it is golden brown and nearly cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep it warm while you prepare the sauce.

Cook the onions in the skillet until they are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer to reduce it slightly. Add the cider and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the apples, thyme, and cooked bacon to the sauce and stir to combine. Stir in the cream and add the chicken breasts with any juices that may have collected to the skillet. Simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, about 5 additional minutes.

Serve hot with mashed potatoes.
