Ukraine, 2022. Yeva is a loner and a maverick scientist who lives out of her mobile lab.She scours the country’s forests and valleys, trying and failing to breed rare snails, while her relatives urge her to settle down and finally start a family of her own. What they don’t know: Yeva already dates plenty of men—not for love, but to fund her work—entertaining Westerners who come to Ukraine on guided romance tours believing they’ll find docile brides untainted by feminism and modernity.

Nastia and her sister, Solomiya, are also entangled in the booming marriage industry, posing as a hopeful bride and her translator while secretly searching for their missing mother, who vanished after years of fierce activism against the romance tours.

Together they embark across hundreds of miles: three angry women, a truckful of kidnapped bachelors, and Lefty, a last-of-his-kind snail with one final shot at perpetuating his species. But their plans come to a screeching halt when Russia invades. In a stunningly ambitious and achingly raw metafictional spiral, Endling brilliantly balances horror and comedy, drawing on Reva’s own experiences as a Ukrainian expat tracking her family’s delicate dance of survival behind enemy lines. As fiction and reality collide on the page, Reva probes the hard truths of war: What stories must we tell ourselves to survive? To carry on with the routines of life under military occupation? And for those of us watching from over-seas: Can our sense of normalcy and security ever be restored, or have they always been a fragile illusion?

Endling is a tour de force from an author who weaves a story of love, loss, humor, and devastation that only she can tell.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Austen's best-loved tale of love, marriage and society in class-conscious Georgian England still delights modern readers today with its comedy and characters. It follows the feisty, quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet as her parents seek to ensure good marriages for her and her sisters in order to secure their future. The protagonists Darcy and Elizabeth learn much about themselves and those around them and Austen's expertly crafted comedy characters of Mrs Bennet and Mr Collins demonstrate her great artistry as a writer."

FIRST WE RECEIVED THE WARNING, NOW AMERICA MUST FACE THE ULTIMATUM...

Eighteen months ago, Buddy Korda warned the nation that an economic disaster was on the horizon. Now families across the country are living out the grim reality of the second depression of the twentieth century. Some say it was just a coincidence. Others say he caused the crisis by frightening investors out of the stock market.

But Korda's warning was not a mere prediction. It was a divine message. And now Buddy has received another message -- this time more than a warning, an ultimatum.

God's call leads the reluctant prophet to Washington, D.C., where his friends -- including Linda Kee, a well-known reporter familiar with the D.C. power structure -- coordinate the effort to bring America face to face with its heritage and its destiny. This historic movement threatens to transform the current political process. And the Washington power brokers will do anything to keep Korda from succeeding.
