Wodehouse's Bertie and Jeeves are back in a brand newnovel by internationally acclaimed bestselling novelistSebastian FaulksBertie Wooster (a young man about town) and his butler Jeeves (the very modelof the modern manservant)—return in their first new novel in nearly forty years:Jeeves and the Wedding Bells by Sebastian Faulks.P.G. Wodehouse documented the lives of the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster fornearly sixty years, from their first appearance in 1915 (“Extricating YoungGussie”) to the his final completed novel (Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen) in 1974.These two were the finest creations of a novelist widely proclaimed to be thefinest comic English writer by critics and fans alike.With the approval of the Wodehouse estate, acclaimed novelist Sebastian Faulksbrings Bertie and Jeeves back to life in a hilarious affair of mix ups and mishaps.Bertie, nursing a bit of heartbreak over the recent engagement of one GeorgianaMeadowes to someone not named Wooster, agrees to “help” his old friendPeregrine “Woody” Beeching, whose own romance is foundering. Almostimmediately, things go awry and the simple plan quickly becomes complicated.Jeeves ends up having to impersonate one Lord Etringham, while Bertie plays thepart of Jeeves’ manservant “Wilberforce”—and this all happens under the sameroof as the now affianced Ms. Meadowes. From there the plot becomes evenmore hilarious and convoluted, in a brilliantly conceived, seamlessly written comicwork worthy of the master himself.PRAISE“Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever.” —Douglas Adams, author of TheHitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy“[Wodehouse is] a brilliantly funny writer—perhaps the most consistently funny theEnglish language has yet produced.” —The London Times“Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale.

Now Beah, whom Dave Eggers has called“arguably the most read African writer in contemporary literature,” has returnedwith his first novel, an affecting, tender parable about postwar life in SierraLeone.At the center of Radiance of Tomorrow are Benjamin and Bockarie,two longtime friends who return to their hometown, Imperi, after the civil war.The village is in ruins, the ground covered in bones. As more villagers beginto come back, Benjamin and Bockarie try to forge a new community by taking uptheir former posts as teachers, but they’re beset by obstacles: a scarcity of food;a rash of murders, thievery, rape, and retaliation; and the depredations of aforeign mining company intent on sullying the town’s water supply and blocking itspaths with electric wires. As Benjamin and Bockarie search for a way to restoreorder, they’re forced to reckon with the uncertainty of their past and future alike.With the gentle lyricism of a dream and the moral clarity of a fable, Radianceof Tomorrow is a powerful novel about preserving what means the most to us,even in uncertain times.PRAISEPraise for A Long Way Gone:“Everyone in the world should read this book.
