Matthew Keale, who won the Whitbread Book of the Year 2000 award in England (it was also shortlisted for the Booker Prize), has released his new novel, When We Were Romans. This one centers on a mom, Hannah, who packs up her family and escapes to Italy to get away from an abusive husband. The story is told through the eyes of her son, a sharp boy who watches as his family slowly falls apart.

Also new this week: The Likeness by Tana French, the follow up to her psychological thriller In The Woods; and An Autumn War, the third installment of Daniel Abraham’s Long Price quartet of novels. It’s fantasy from, of course, Tor/Forge.
