Meg Summers is one of America's premier architects, designing some of most exquisite estates across the country, but ever since her sister Dawn had an affair with her former husband, Mick Drewford, a year ago, she has felt utterly and desperately alone. She is also bored with her job. She would much rather sketch fantasy drawings all day in her journal than be managing projects. On a cool fall day in East Hampton, Meg finds a mysterious note in elegant cursive addressed to her tucked in the middle of a rare book on Hawaiian houses at her favorite bookstore, The Nook & Cranny. After much debate, she decides to follow the note's instructions to the Hawaiian island of Kauai where she is swept into a tantalizing world that is both mysterious and strange. The eccentric man who leads her there asks her to do the impossible: design an enormous dream building for the ages on his property. Meg is reluctant to agree. But when the man shows her the land's mystical secret, she feels compelled to draw it. She gives in, immersing herself in the creative depths of her soul to draw one of the most interesting buildings she has ever imagined. Along the way, she is introduced to a team of architects and builders as strange and magical as the place she has cast herself into. As time passes, she becomes entranced by her new surroundings and the wealthy man who brought her there, but she also longs for her old life, her home and her family. A cross between The Lost Horizon and Alice in Wonderland, TLS 2020 Book of the year authors, Ken and Duke Tate's The Architect will leave you spellbound.

In Making Dystopia, distinguished architectural historian James Stevens Curl tells the story of the advent of architectural Modernism in the aftermath of the First World War, its protagonists, and its astonishing, almost global acceptance after 1945. He argues forcefully that the triumph of architectural Modernism in the second half of the twentieth century led to massive destruction, the creation of alien urban landscapes, and a huge waste of resources. Moreover, the coming of Modernism was not an inevitable, seamless evolution, as many have insisted, but a massive, unparalled disruption that demanded a clean slate and the elimination of all ornament, decoration, and choice. Tracing the effects of the Modernist revolution in architecture to the present, Stevens Curl argues that, with each passing year, so-called 'iconic' architecture by supposed 'star' architects has become more and more bizarre, unsettling, and expensive, ignoring established contexts and proving to be stratospherically remote from the aspirations and needs of humanity. In the elite world of contemporary architecture, form increasingly follows finance, and in a society in which the 'haves' have more and more, and the 'have-nots' are ever more marginalized, he warns that contemporary architecture continues to stack up huge potential problems for the future, as housing costs spiral out of control, resources are squandered on architectural bling, and society fractures. This courageous, passionate, deeply researched, and profoundly argued book should be read by everyone concerned with what is around us. Its combative critique of the entire Modernist architectural project and its apologists will be highly controversial to many. But it contains salutary warnings that we ignore at our peril. And it asks awkward questions to which answers are long overdue.

It’s summertime on the North Carolina coast and the livin’ is easy. Unless, that is, you’ve just lost your mother to cancer, your sister to her extremist husband, and your husband to his executive assistant. Meet Gray Howard. Right when Gray could use a serious infusion of good karma in her life, she inadvertently gets a stranger, Diana Harrington, fired from her job at the local pharmacy. Diana Harrington’s summer isn’t off to the greatest start either: Hours before losing her job, she broke up with her boyfriend and moved out of their shared house with only a worn-out Impala for a bed. Lucky for her, Gray has an empty guest house and a very guilty conscience. With Gray’s kindness, Diana’s tide begins to turn. But when her first love returns, every secret from her past seems to resurface all at once. And, as Gray begins to blaze a new trail, she discovers, with Diana’s help, that what she envisioned as her perfect life may not be what she wants at all. In her warmest, wisest novel yet, Kristy Woodson Harvey delivers a discerning portrait of modern womanhood through two vastly different lenses. Feels Like Falling is a beach bag essential for Harvey fans—and for a new generation of readers.
