Dear Readers, I’m continuing the countdown to publication. Less than two weeks until The Last Chairlift is in stores, libraries, and (hopefully) on your bookshelves! This week has been a momentous one; I’ve received my own copies of Chairlift from my publishers. Janet had the forethought to capture the moment I opened my first shipment of books.

Dear Readers, Today’s the day: after many years of research, and three years of writing and rewriting, Queen Esther is here! My longtime editor, Jonathan Karp, asked me a pertinent question: What makes Queen Esther, my 16th novel, different from the previous 15? See my answer, below. For my American readers, if you haven’t already, you can still find tickets to my live, virtual event later this evening, hosted by the 92nd Street Y and Barnes & Noble.

Dear Readers, Carrying on the countdown to Queen Esther, today marks exactly two weeks until publication. And, as if to celebrate the occasion, I recently received a special package in the mail: the first box of Queen Esther hardcovers! As you’ll see, it wasn’t easy opening the box—but it was worth it! I hope you’ll be as pleased with the hardcover as I am. If you haven’t already, you can pre-order Queen Esther at Simon & Schuster (in US and UK) and Knopf Canada (in Canada). Pre-order at Simon &

Dear Readers, Like many of my novels, including The Cider House Rules, Queen Esther is historical fiction. This means that even the smallest details—from the medical equipment used in Maine in the early 20th century to the news on TV in Vienna in the 1960s—really matter. My research for Queen Esther started forty-four years ago in Jerusalem—my editor, Jonathan Karp, is entirely correct when he says that I “spend a lot of time trying to get the details right”!

Dear Readers, Today marks one month to the English-language publication of The Last Chairlift. In anticipation of October 18, my wonderful publishers at Simon & Schuster UK put together an animation inspired by the book’s cover art. I’m sharing it with a note of thanks to everyone who’s left me encouraging, generous comments. You’ve made my past seven years better. The Last Chairlift will soon be in your hands. There’s been excitement in preparation for the fall, but there’s also been terrible n
