House Party
"a party that's not to be missed." -Kirkus Reviews
a novel by Jeanne Farewell
On a visit to a friend's B&B in Vermont, Sadie Putnam has an unexpected encounter with a man she once knew. What she had hoped to be a restoring country weekend turns instead into a conflict that brings to the fore the past she wanted to forget. Her fellow guests seem to have more clarity on other people's problems than their own, and what began as a simple house party becomes a series of revealing and transfiguring encounters.

A clever contribution to that popular subgenre, the satirical academic novel" -Kirkus Reviews The discovery of a Victorian novel by Henry Radcliff is big news in academia, providing much material for scholars, biographers, and pundits. When Professor Sarah Bolton arrives in Dublin for a tour that will take her and fellow members of the Henry Radcliff Society on a journey to retrace the author's footsteps, she little knows that the experience will prompt her to question her own steps as well.

Old Rye, a novel by Jeanne Farewell To what extent should someone intervene in another person's life? When Phoebe Bennington of Old Rye, Connecticut tries to save a friend from an imprudent marriage, she sets in motion a series of events that forever changes the lives of those involved. _______________________________ "Old Rye is a compulsive read that is a near perfect mix of complexity and thrills. Farewell writes with a clear, concise voice that brings the world of the wealthy resort town and its inhabitants to life. "
-ForeWord Clarion Reviews _______________________________ |
 "Old Rye is a perfect summer read—the ideal mix of thriller and romance to get lost in over a long, hot afternoon. It’s also a book that is sure to leave readers debating whether it’s better to get what you want or not. "

In The Lighthouse, a novel by Jeanne Farewell "beautifully written.... gorgeous writing" -1776 Productions Kate Cullen is a dress designer who lives in a lighthouse on the Massachusetts coast. She is admired, inspiring, - and she has an unimpeachable character. Or does she? When Beth Beavers discovers Kate's diary with its disturbing confession, Beth struggles with whether or not to reveal the truth about Kate. In the process, Beth comes to terms with her own behavior as well. _________________________________ |
PRAISE FOR IN THE LIGHTHOUSE:
"the characters become people you want to laugh and to cry with. She also writes in a way where the reader doesn’t want to put the book down, because you want to know where Farewell is taking you next. Part pure fiction, part human interest story, this book is must read." -Pacific Book Review (Suzanne Gattis) |
"Funny, pathetic and sympathetic in equal parts, Beth Beavers is an exceptional narrator... The narrative builds to a climactic confrontation scene that is perfectly executed....Entertaining and endearing, Farewell’s new novel is a well-tailored fit for fans of women-centered mysteries and books about female friendship." -Kirkus Indie |

Nantucket Snow, Stories by Jeanne Farewell Meet Joshua Bilge, the company do-gooder who makes himself despised by everyone in the office. And Priscilla Bent, a cranky restaurant reviewer whose misery in having to stay in a French château is only exceeded by her misery in having to leave it. An acquaintance with the persnickety party critic Benson can be hazardous - his own social conduct is far more reprehensible than that which he criticizes. Also present are the Cherry Hill Players, a troupe of theater people whose identities are predicated on appropriating the identities of others. These and more make their appearance in the fourteen tales of Jeanne Farewell's Nantucket Snow. |
