Included are Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, a moving meditation on collaboration and creative partnership; Elsewhere, a poignant exploration of life after death that reframes departure as a doorway to new beginnings; Young Jane Young, a sharp, witty look at motherhood, ambition, and political life through the lives of five women; and The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, a heartfelt ode to books, community, and the quiet magic of second chances. This paperback collection is ideal for fans seeking immersive storytelling across genres and a powerful reading journey.
What This Collection Covers:
Across these four novels, Zevin explores how people form communities around shared passions—whether shaping a game, keeping a bookstore alive, navigating public life, or choosing to live with grace after loss. The set moves from intimate, personal bonds to broader questions about fame, ambition, and the role of art in ordinary lives. Readers will meet disciplined, flawed, deeply human protagonists who learn to listen, forgive, and grow. The collection also offers a celebration of storytelling itself—how a well-told book can alter a life, spark friendship, or offer solace in times of change. For adult readers and older YA alike, it provides both comfort and challenge in equal measure.
Book-by-Book Guide:
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow Meet Sam and Sadie, whose chance sighting on a crowded train rekindles a lifelong partnership of ideas and collaboration. The book makes room for a deep, non-traditional take on love, where loyalty, trust, and shared creativity outweigh conventional romance. As Sam and Sadie build a creative empire, they navigate fame, failure, and the tricky terrain of balancing personal needs with professional ambitions. Zevin threads humor, vulnerability, and a quiet ache through a story about friendship becoming a lifeline and about how memory and influence ripple across a lifetime. A moving, generous meditation on artistry and companionship.
Elsewhere Liz Hall's afterlife in Elsewhere unfolds with as much warmth as distance. The world resembles Earth but moves at a gentler tempo, allowing time for reflection, adaptation, and new friendships. Death is reframed as a doorway to growth rather than an end, and Liz learns to navigate change, language, and community in a place where daily life acquires a soft, almost breezy rhythm. The novel blends tenderness with humor, inviting readers to consider what it means to grieve, to reinvent oneself, and to discover a second chance in an unfamiliar terrain.
Young Jane Young Five women—Rachel Grossman, Jane Young, Ruby Young, Embeth Levin, and Aviva Grossman—tell stories that intersect with motherhood, ambition, and public life. The novel follows these complex characters through opportunities and missteps as they navigate family loyalties, career aims, and the pressures that come with visibility. With sharp wit and empathy, Zevin examines how choices reverberate across generations, revealing the resilience required to balance private identities with public roles. The book invites readers to rethink what it means to be powerful, to forgive, and to chart a course that respects both personal happiness and societal responsibility.
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry A.J. Fikry runs Island Books with stubborn devotion, his world shrinking after the loss of his wife and the theft of a valuable first edition. The island community becomes a lifeline, and the store's shelves become a map of healing as new voices enter his life. When a mystery child and a book’s unexpected turn of fortune intersect with Fikry's quiet longing, he discovers that stories, kindness, and second chances can rekindle a love of life he thought he had lost. This is a warm, wholly affectionate celebration of books, readers, and the unexpected ways a good story can renew a heart.
