In the 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jeffersons unalienable rights have often been thwarted by slavery, war and economic crisis.

He traces the course of liberty and justice alongside violence and oppression, showing how a country at war with itself in the 1860s became the leader of the free world less than a century later and the unquiet, riven nation of today.This is the concise, indispensable story of a country whose past has never been more alive.

Tedd lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. Its 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldnt know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young womans existence.

Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think weve left behind.
