We all have gifts and talents. Some are obvious, but some are hidden and take a while to show themselves. In Recruited, each of three siblings cautiously start to perceive that they may have a special talent. They are propelled on a journey which requires that they develop their gifts to supernatural levels. Vicious and angry animals, Yetis, Pirates and a storm at sea all threaten their very lives. Only with the powers of Light, Speed and Strength will they be able to survive the battles that lie ahead. In the process they uncover a life-changing truth about the animal kingdom. They learn that for centuries there has been an unseen war going on all over the earth: the war between the Clean and Unclean animals. On occasions this war has drawn humans into battle, sometimes unknowingly. There are even acts of violence and complicated strategies of defense going on right beneath their own noses, in their own subdivision. Everything that these children have known about their surroundings will be turned on its head. Every few generations, the Clean animals are able to recruit a human to help them in their quest to avoid annihilation. Can one of these children, equipped with their own amazing gift, join this ancient battle? If they become part of the struggle, will they survive in this strange new existence? One thing is for sure: after this adventure, the world around them will never seem boring again.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction Winner of the William Dean Howells Medal Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize Over One Year on the New York Times Bestseller List A New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post, Time, Oprah Magazine, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, and Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year "The best novel ever written about trees, and really just one of the best novels, period." —Ann Patchett The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

A New York Times Notable Book A Booklist Editors’ Choice A Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year What would it really mean to live forever? Rachel is a woman with a problem: she can’t die. Her recent troubles—widowhood, a failing business, an unemployed middle-aged son—are only the latest in a litany spanning dozens of countries, scores of marriages, and hundreds of children. In the 2,000 years since she made a spiritual bargain to save the life of her first son back in Roman-occupied Jerusalem, she’s tried everything to free herself, and only one other person in the world understands: a man she once loved passionately, who has been stalking her through the centuries, convinced they belong together forever. But as the twenty-first century begins and her children and grandchildren—consumed with immortality in their own ways, from the frontiers of digital currency to genetic engineering—develop new technologies that could change her fate and theirs, Rachel knows she must find a way out. Gripping, hilarious, and profoundly moving, Eternal Life celebrates the bonds between generations, the power of faith, the purpose of death, and the reasons for being alive.
