6 Spring Releases for the Serious Reader

While summer beach reads will be delivering lighthearted escapes to shelves soon, these deeper spring reads will satisfy the intellectual yearnings of any true bibliophile.

Hang the Moon by Jeanette Walls

Hang the Moon by Jeanette Walls

It’s been a while since readers have had a new story by the bestselling memoirist of The Glass Castle. Although she’s dabbled with fiction in the past, Walls’s true talents shine in this captivating new novel set in 1900s Virginia. The story follows Sallie Kincaid, a strong-spirited daughter of the “biggest man in a small town.” With an abusive father, a dead mother, and a tragic incident involving her gentle half-brother, Sallie learns to develop grit and resilience as she rises to stake her claim in the cutthroat world of prohibition-era bootlegging.

Now, decades later, the curious reporter is looking for answers. The twist? She uncovers a dark connection to her own family. But the real treat is the journey through this tight-knit Australian community, where themes of motherhood and truth resonate strongly through Morton’s well-crafted blend of plot precision and character depth.

The Trackers by  Charles Frazier

The Trackers by Charles Frazier

Readers have been waiting eagerly for the fifth novel by international bestselling author of Cold Mountain. Known for evocative settings that play a key role in his stories, Frazier now takes us to Depression-era Wyoming, where New Deal artist Val Welch is assigned to paint a mural on the local post office. When he takes up boarding at the ranch of John and Eve Long, he’s swept into the Gatsbyesque drama of this intriguing couple. Soon Eve flees home, and art dealer Long enlists Val to help him track her (and the expensive painting she’s taken with her). Then, off we go “from the ramshackle Hoovervilles to San Francisco nightclubs to the swamps of Florida.” With his stellar storytelling and trademark world-building, it’s clear why Frazier’s latest is already gathering tons of buzz.

Essentially, he proposes that complex systems (cells, human beings, ecosystems, the known universe, and beyond) are all connected as one vast complex system. Backing his beliefs with scientific research, he restores a sense of wonder and metaphysical curiosity to the act of being human.
