"As usual, romance fans have plenty to look forward to, including Zakiya N. Jamal's adult debut, Sparks Fly, and Lizzy Dent's F1 rom-com Drive Me Crazy. Same goes for fans of sweeping epics, what with Alice Evelyn Yang's A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing - a novel about a young woman confronting her family's traumatic past - and Daniyal Mueenuddin's This Is Where the Serpent Lives - a book about a cast of interconnected characters navigating feudal Pakistan's striated social sphere."
"Sparks Fly by Zakiya N. Jamal Out Dec. 2. A late bloomer walks into a sex party, and her life totally changes. So begins Zakiya N. Jamal's adult debut, which follows Stella, a digital media worker hoping to jump-start her love life - only to get entangled with the guy running the AI company that her workplace is partnering with. - Gabrielle Bondi, entertainment editor"
Winter releases span romance, sweeping literary epics, translated fiction, and investigative nonfiction. An adult romance debut follows a late-blooming digital media worker who encounters transformative sexual and professional entanglements. Epic fiction examines family trauma and interconnected characters navigating feudal social structures. Nonfiction offerings include a biography of a music icon and a deep dive into the corporate and cultural history of an iconic doll. Several titles and translations are scheduled for early December. The season includes debut novels, genre rom-coms, expansive literary narratives, and cultural histories that probe fame, consumerism, and social hierarchies.
