Other Indie FavoritesUnremarried Widow: A Memoir, by Artis Henderson (Simon & Schuster, $25) “Unremarried Widow is a love story that will tug at your heartstrings and make you ache for Henderson as she tells the story of how she met—and lost—her husband, Miles, a handsome young Army pilot. As their love grew, they moved in together and bought a rundown house near the base. When Miles was deployed to Iraq, they e-mailed and phoned until the day Henderson walked into her mother’s house and found two uniformed officers waiting for her. This is a brilliant book about a young woman’s love and loss, couched in transcendent language that will cut you to the quick.” —Kathy Ashton, The King’s English Bookshop, Salt Lake City, UT

The Wind Is Not a River: A Novel, by Brian Payton (Ecco, $26.99) “A grand tale of devotion and adventure set in a forgotten theater of World War II, Payton’s new novel is convincingly told. Along with journalist John Easley, the stranded protagonist, readers feel the Arctic wind screaming across Japanese-occupied Attu in the remote Aleutian Islands and are swept along by the parallel narrative of Helen, John’s wife, as she sets off from her native Seattle in a bold, imaginative effort to locate her missing husband. Compelling!” —Chris Wilcox, City Lights Bookstore, Sylva, NC

Another Indie FavoriteFinding Camlann: A Novel, by Sean Pidgeon (Norton, $15.95) “This is a new and gripping look at the history and landscape of Britain and the legend of King Arthur. A linguist and an archeologist search for the truth behind the myth, as they climb foggy hills and glean new meanings from a mysterious poem. We follow them in the throes of love and dread, through long-lost battles and modern feuds, as they look with fascination at the secrets and natural beauty of an ancient land that lives anew. Finding Camlann will please both scholars and poets and will intrigue historians and lovers of romance.” —Daniel Butler, Brookline Booksmith, Brookline, MA
