“’The Flight Portfolio: A Novel’ by Julie Orringer is a historical novel loosely based on the life of Varian Fry (1907-67), an American journalist who risked his life in Vichy France to direct and aid a rescue committee dedicated to smuggling out prominent artists, writers, and intellectuals to safety. Ms. Orringer describes Fry’s heroic and tortured life, attaching a totally invented love story between the married Fry and his former intimate from Harvard days, a male, multi-race literature professor. Gripping, tender, and thoroughly engaging.” — Carolyn, BookHampton

“‘Conversations With Friends’ by Sally Rooney. Irish writer Sally Rooney captures the immediacy of contemporary relationships with subtlety, wit and insight. Her penetrating psychological portrait of college friends weaves in all the intricacies of communication in the digital age.” – Maryann, Canio’s Books

'Tiffany Blues: A Novel' by M.J. Rose transports the reader back to the Jazz Age when a young painter’s past impacts her future. All of the glamour of the Jazz Age mixed with the world of Tiffany’s makes this the perfect weekend beach read!” - Jane, Bedside Reading

“‘The Islanders’ by Meg Mitchell Moore is a smart summer read that follows three strangers and their intertwining lives during one summer on Block Island. Sag Harbor Books will be hosting the author, Meg Mitchell Moore, for a book signing on Monday, July 15, at 6 p.m." —Greg, Southampton Books and Sag Harbor Books

“‘Time After Time’ by Lisa Grunwald. I didn’t want to put this down, I HAD to know what happened. Joe and Nora—the star crossed lovers at the center of this glorious historical novel—will tug at your heartstrings. Part ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife,’ part ‘Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day,’ this is sure to become a beloved novel." —Taylor, Berry & Co.
