Discover New and Notable Books Publishing This Week Publishing This Week View as Webpage Hello Readers,  This week 32 new and notable books are hitting the shelves for the first time, including historical fiction from Susan Meissner.  Her latest novel, A Map to Paradise, transports readers to 1950s Malibu, California, where the glamour of the film industry collides with the shadows of the Red Scare. It's described as "a tale both tender and touching, about three complex and damaged women who despite their outward differences are all searching for that elusive thing called a home" (Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Briar Club).    You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section.
