Dear Readers, Like many of my novels, including The Cider House Rules, Queen Esther is historical fiction. This means that even the smallest details—from the medical equipment used in Maine in the early 20th century to the news on TV in Vienna in the 1960s—really matter. My research for Queen Esther started forty-four years ago in Jerusalem—my editor, Jonathan Karp, is entirely correct when he says that I “spend a lot of time trying to get the details right”!

Dear Readers, It’s October 1st — only a few weeks left to The Last Chairlift’s pub. day now. I’ve always loved this month; I have fond memories of my kids on Halloween.

Dear Readers, With the publication of Queen Esther just around the corner, I sat down with my longtime editor, Jonathan Karp, to discuss the new novel, my previous novels, and more.

Dear Readers, Carrying on the countdown to Queen Esther, today marks exactly two weeks until publication. And, as if to celebrate the occasion, I recently received a special package in the mail: the first box of Queen Esther hardcovers! As you’ll see, it wasn’t easy opening the box—but it was worth it! I hope you’ll be as pleased with the hardcover as I am. If you haven’t already, you can pre-order Queen Esther at Simon & Schuster (in US and UK) and Knopf Canada (in Canada). Pre-order at Simon &

(Sound on to hear an excerpt from the audiobook edition of The Last Chairlift.) Dear Readers, You have to be a patient reader, and a close reader, to listen to an audiobook, but I believe that hearing a novel is an excellent way to read one. Many great readers enjoy them — my wife, Janet, included. I can appreciate her fondness for them. Listening to an audiobook is the closest you can get to being inside a writer’s head; you’re hearing the words in much the same way the authors “heard” them in
