A richly textured novel tells a story of sex and longing, love and
loss, and of the deceit that can lie at the heart of family
relationships. "Each chapter...has the seductive aura of a finely
crafted story. Liars and Saints is instructive and bittersweet and
yet somehow never nostalgic" (Los Angeles Times).Set in California,
Liars and Saints follows four generations of the Catholic Santerre
family from World War II to the present. In a family driven as much
by jealousy and propriety as by love, an unspoken tradition of
deceit is passed from generation to generation. When tragedy
shatters their precarious domestic lives, it takes astonishing
courage and compassion to bring them back together. By turns funny
and disturbing, irreverent and profound, Liars and Saints is a
masterful display of Maile Meloy's prodigious gifts and of her
penetrating insight into an extraordinary American family and into
the nature of human love. "Meloy may be the first great American
realist of the twenty-first century: The Santerres aren't real but
they feel like they are, and the reader will not soon forget them"
(The Boston Globe).
Welcome to Berecombe-by-the-Sea for a year of very special
celebrations... This year sees the seventy-fifth anniversary of
D-Day. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those brave boys who
went to fight on French beaches for our freedom. And now Berecombe
is playing host to our American allies once more. All surviving
soldiers who were billeted in the town have been invited for street
parties, a D-Day parade, a black-tie ball at The Henville and much,
much more. So, come along, get dressed up and join in the fun!
Berecombe's year of commemoration may be coming to a close... but
the rest of Ashley Lydden's new life has only just begun! Ashley
couldn't have predicted that she'd find herself a whole new - much
happier - life in the quiet, seaside town of Berecombe, but now she
can't imagine being anywhere else. She knows better than most
though that life has a way of surprising you when you least expect
it, so when things start going all kinds of wrong for Ashley and
her handsome American, Eddie McQueen, she's forced to lean on her
new friends for support. Thankfully, the residents of Berecombe
learned decades ago that there's no problem that can't be fixed
with a little bit of bunting and a whole lot of love... Readers are

Strong-willed Deborah Nelson has already endured much in her
life. As the Great Depression invades northwest Kansas in 1930,
Deborah's denial cannot stop the raw emotions that spread their
pain through her once predictable life. Christian, her husband of
six years, has disappeared without a trace, leaving Deborah to care
for their boys and farm in a man's world-one made even more
challenging by threatening, unpredictable weather.
Determined not to wallow in self-pity, Deborah finds comfort in
knowing her childhood Indian mentor would want her to take
responsibility for her land. After rejecting her father's demands
that she return to Minnesota, Deborah bravely faces her cruel
reality. Haunted by dreams that her husband is dead and by the
racist remarks of Sheriff Stoddel, who believes she and her little
boys are Indians, Deborah's world could not be more challenging.
But just as the investigation into Christian's disappearance leads
to suspicions about both Deborah and family friend Victor
Whitesong, a revenge-seeking deputy makes maters much worse.
In this poignant historical tale, one woman must call upon all
her strength to face life on her beloved land without the love and
protection of her missing husband.
