The result is a cozy supernatural outing perfect for an autumn night.” \u2014Publisher’s Weekly<\/span> Five years ago, Nora Wilder disappeared. The older of her two daughters, Zadie, should have seen it coming, because she can literally see things coming<\/span>. But not even her psychic abilities were able to prevent their mother from vanishing one morning.<\/p>\n Zadie\u2019s estranged younger sister, Finn, can\u2019t see into the future, but she has an uncannily good memory, so good that she remembers not only her own memories, but the echoes of memories other people have left behind. On the afternoon of her graduation party, Finn is seized by an \u201cecho\u201d more powerful than anything she\u2019s experienced before: a woman singing a song she recognizes, a song about a bird\u2026<\/p>\n When Finn wakes up alone in an aviary with no idea of how she got there, she realizes who the memory belongs to: Nora.<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s up to Finn to convince her sister that not only is their mom still out there, but that she wants to be found. Against Zadie\u2019s better judgement, she and Finn hit the highway, using Finn\u2019s echoes to retrace Nora\u2019s footsteps and uncover the answer to the question that has been haunting them for years: Why did she leave?<\/p>\n But the more time Finn spends in their mother\u2019s past, the harder it is for her to return to the present, to return to herself. As Zadie feels her sister start to slip away, she will have to decide what lengths she is willing to go to find their mother, knowing that if she chooses wrong, she could lose them both for good.<\/p>\n Bookshop.org<\/a><\/p>\n B&N<\/a><\/p>\n Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_team_member admin_label=”Person” name=”BEASTS OF EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE ” image_url=”http:\/\/andreasomberg.com\/aslitagent\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Beasts-of-Extraordinary-Circumstance-HC.jpg” animation=”off” background_layout=”light” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n St. Martin’s Press\/Macmillan, November 2017<\/p>\n *December 2018 Target Book Club Pick<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n *Finalist for BOMC’s Best Book of the Year Award<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n *A Main Selection, Book of the Month Club<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n *A Bustle Must-Read Book for November<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n * One of Net Galley\u2019s Highly Anticipated Debuts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n * Selection Real Simple Magazine<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n *An Ohioana Book Award Finalist\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n *A National Reading Group Month Great Group Read<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Full of nature and wonder, love and adventure,\u00a0Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance\u00a0<\/em>is a beautifully written novel that \u201cbristles with charm and curiosity\u201d (Winston Groom,\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/em>bestselling author of\u00a0Forrest Gump<\/em>).\u00a0 Born in a blizzard, orphaned, and believed to be raised by wolves, Weylyn Grey is someone who inspires endless curiosity in everyone he\u2019s ever met.
