Sandy thought she was making her greatest mistake yet when she got unexpectedly pregnant in her mid-thirties by a dating-app flop. Now, her baby Rosie is the love of her life, but trying to co-parent with her daughter’s dad, a wannabe rock star, is a challenge—and seems to be veering into catastrophe territory when Sandy finds out through social media that her daughter has a half-sibling Sandy doesn’t know anything about.

Enter her ex’s ex, Stephanie, the other mother. Sandy is prepared to hate her but when the two women meet, they are shocked to learn how much they have in common beyond the deadbeat father their children share. Now Sandy needs to figure out what her and Rosie’s family looks like with all these new additions. Could life in a “mommune” be the answer to her prayers, or just a new brand of chaos?

In this winning story of family both born and chosen, Sandy is about to discover that when nothing goes as planned, the best things become possible.

“All the Mothers is written by one of the most talented and shockingly good writers of our time. There is depth here, there is grace, and this story will resound as a rallying cry for mothers everywhere for generations to come. If you have ever had a mother or been cared for, this book is for you, meaning this book is for everyone.” —Chelsea Bieker, author of Madwoman

“No one writes about motherhood like Domenica Ruta. Seriously, no one. With tremendous humor, intelligence, wisdom, and, of course, heart, Ruta takes a hard, unflinching look at exactly what it takes to survive in America as a single mother. The result is a defining novel for these turbulent times. I loved it and can’t stop thinking about it.” —Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year

Domenica Ruta was born and raised in Danvers, Massachusetts. She is a graduate of Oberlin College and holds an MFA from the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin.

SEDUCTION THEORY d’Emily Adrian

With the raw emotional complexity of Conversations with Friends, the dark academia of Bunny, and filled with the sharp intimacy, heart, and humor of Splinters, SEDUCTION THEORY is a profound exploration of the challenges of monogamy, marital betrayal in all its forms, the dangerous intimacy of student-professor relationships, and the power of forgiveness.

Simone is the star of the Edwards University Creative Writing Department: renowned Woolf scholar, grief memoirist, and campus sex icon. Her less glamorous and ostensibly devoted husband, Ethan, is a forgotten novelist and lecturer in the same department. But when Ethan and the department administrative assistant Abigail have sex, Simone’s graduate student Roberta “Robbie” Green fictionalizes the affair in a breathtakingly invasive MFA thesis.

Determined to tell her version of the story, Robbie’s youthful and sardonic voice weaves in and out of the novel until she finally takes charge of the plot. Vivid, innovative, witty, and tender, SEDUCTION THEORY is a story about how love and betrayal can coexist.

Emily Adrian is the author of Everything Here Is Under Control and The Second Season, as well as two critically acclaimed novels for young adults. Most recently, her memoir, Daughterhood was published. Her work has appeared in Granta, Joyland, EPOCH, Alta Journal, Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Millions.

A delectable collection of over 70 plant-based recipes for vegan butters, creams, cheeses, desserts, and more, from the award-winning chef and bestselling author of Artisan Vegan Cheese.

THE VEGAN CREAMERY:
Plant-Based Cheese, Milk, Ice Cream, and More (A Cookbook)
by Miyoko Schinner
Ten Speed Press, September 2025

Imagine enjoying a batch of fresh strawberry ice cream on a hot summer day. It tastes just as delicious as the beloved classic, but at its creamy core it’s actually plant-based. Now you can make all the dairy products you love—milks, creams, cheeses, savory spreads, and rich desserts—with nuts, seeds, and other plant-based ingredients instead of animal products.

Miyoko Schinner, a vegan dairy expert, has figured out the best way to make these plant-based milk products mimic real dairy over the past three decades and is ready to share these meticulously curated recipes in THE VEGAN CREAMERY. This book encourages people to dig deeper into what various plant milks can do. You’ll learn to use the age-old concepts of culturing to make French-Style Soft Truffle Cheese, perfect on a charcuterie board, and fermenting plant-based milk to create Reggie Goat Cheese, a tangy spread that is delicious atop a pizza. You’ll use atypical plant-based ingredients like watermelon seed milk to make Mozzarella and mung beans to make Halloumi. Alongside these delectable dairy-free cheese creations, you’ll learn to make Pumpkin Seed-Oat Yogurt to serve with a bowl of fresh fruit or Salted Maple Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream to satisfy your cravings for a rich dessert.

Miyoko has become a leader in the evolution of plant-based dairy, and through her recipes and stunning photography you can learn how to craft beautiful vegan food for everyday life that will expand your palate and help save the planet. THE VEGAN CREAMERY is just the cookbook to guide you on your plant-based journey.

With three cookbooks under her belt, Miyoko Schinner is a trusted vegan expert, and this will stand out in the market as one of the few vegan cookbooks that focuses on dairy using multiple varieties of nuts and seeds for milks, cheeses, and ice creams. The package will be the perfect addition to any plant-forward cooking collection.

Miyoko Schinner is an award-winning chef, author, entrepreneur, and activist for animals and food systems. Named a “Gamechanger” by Food & Wine and featured on the Forbes 50 over 50 list, she is the founder and former CEO of Miyoko’s Creamery, a company with products distributed in more than 20,000 stores in North America, and is often credited with having helped to create a new category of food. Miyoko is also the founder of Rancho Compasión, a non-profit farmed-animal sanctuary located in Northern California that is home to more than 100 animals.

RIVERS OF LONDON de Ben Aaronovitch bientôt adapté en série TV

Les studios de la chaîne de télévision britannique Sky ont rejoint la société de production Pure Fiction dans le projet de développement d’une série TV adaptée du roman de Ben Aaronovitch, RIVERS OF LONDON. L’auteur sera producteur exécutif de la série. Aucune date n’a encore été confirmée. (Pour plus de détails, lire l’article de Deadline.)

Auteur prolifique, Ben Aaronovitch a vendu plus de huit millions de livres à travers le monde, et aussi travaillé en tant que scénariste pour la série culte britannique Doctor Who.

Le livre, publié en 2011 chez Gollancz/Orion, est le premier volume d’une quinzaines de romans et novellas d’urban fantasy dont le protagoniste, Peter Grant, est un jeune officier de la police londonienne. Après avoir travaillé sur une affaire de meurtre avec un témoin qui s’avère être un fantôme, il est engagé dans une unité de la police spécialisée dans la magie et le surnaturel. Il devient alors le premier apprenti sorcier anglais depuis plus de soixante-dix ans, et les affaires dont il s’occupe ensuite le mettent en contact avec des dieux, des déesses et toutes sortes d’activités fantastiques.

Barbara Kingsolver récompensée par la National Book Foundation

La National Book Foundationa remis à Barbara Kingsolver la Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters 2024, lors de la 75e cérémonie des National Book Awards le 20 novembre 2024. L’œuvre considérable de Kingsolver comprend des ouvrages de fiction, de non-fiction, de poésie, de journalisme d’investigation et d’écrits scientifique. Son dernier roman, Demon Copperhead (On m’appelle Demon Copperhead, albin Michel, janvier 2024, traduction de Martine Aubert), a remporté le Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2023 et a été sélectionné par le Book Club d’Oprah Winfrey.

Cette prestigieuse Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters est décernée chaque année à une personne qui a enrichi le patrimoine littéraire américain avec son œuvre. Depuis qu’elle a été décernée pour la première fois en 1988, un certain nombre d’écrivains l’ont reçue notamment Toni Morrison, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, ou encore Maxine Hong Kingston.

« L’écriture de Barbara Kingsolver embrasse le personnel et le politique, examinant des questions complexes de justice sociale, exaltant le monde naturel et explorant le changement social progressif avec soin et spécificité », a déclaré Ruth Dickey, directrice exécutive de la National Book Foundation. « Pour elle, l’écriture est un outil d’activisme communautaire, un moyen de mettre en lumière certaines des injustices environnementales et sociales les plus complexes de notre époque, et une forme d’art qui lui permet de partager avec le monde les histoires de ses Appalaches bien-aimées. »

Celle qui se décrit comme une « fille de la campagne du Kentucky déguisée en robe scintillante » a déclaré : « J’ai écrit pendant des crises, pendant des présidences qui se sont succédé ; j’ai assisté à des éclipses totales. Je sais que lorsque tout devient sombre, le soleil est toujours là…
Les écrivains doivent poser les grandes questions, effrayantes et inconfortables, pour les personnes qui ont vraiment besoin de nous. Nous sommes à notre meilleur lorsque nous sommes des perturbateurs, lorsque nous ébranlons l’égocentrisme, lorsque nous incitons les gens à se détacher d’eux-mêmes pour pouvoir regarder dans l’âme d’autrui. Cette empathie est notre salut.
Nous sommes toujours le seul espoir des uns et des autres, comme l’a dit James Baldwin… La vérité et l’amour ont été frappés tant de fois… mais la vérité est comme le soleil derrière l’éclipse. Elle est toujours là, et l’amour reste vivant si on l’entretient… Notre tâche est d’inventer une meilleure fin. Nous sommes nombreux à le faire. Nous ne sommes pas effacés.
Nous sommes toujours là, comme le soleil derrière l’éclipse.»

Kingsolver a également été récompensée par l’American Booksellers Association, l’American Library Association, la James Beard Foundation et la PEN/Faulkner Foundation, entre autres. En 2011, l’ambassadeur Richard C. Holbrooke lui a remis le Distinguished Achievement Award, précédemment connu sous le nom de Lifetime Achievement Award, dans le cadre du Dayton Literary Peace Prize, pour l’ensemble de son œuvre. Elle est la seule auteure à avoir reçu deux fois le Women’s Prize for Fiction britannique, en 2023 pour Demon Copperhead et en 2010 pour The Lacuna (Un autre monde). Kingsolver a été admise au sein de l’American Academy of Arts and Letters en 2021.
