The Road To Tender Hearts: A darkly comic and warm-hearted novel about an old man on a cross-country mission to reunite with his high school crush—bringing together his adult daughter, two orphaned kids, and a cat who can predict death.
“A miraculous novel—an actual and spiritual road trip you won’t forget.”—John Irving
Annie Hartnett is the award-winning author of three novels: Rabbit Cake, Unlikely Animals, and the national bestseller The Road to Tender Hearts which, in addition to the 2025 New England Book Award for fiction, was also longlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award, was named a best book of 2025 from NPR, LitHub, and Southern Living, and has been translated into nineteen languages.

Two Palestinian cousins hustle their way through the underbelly of Athens, clinging to the dream of reaching Germany. As their circumstances grow more desperate, they are forced to confront how far they’re willing to go for a chance at a different life. Raw, urgent, and deeply human, To A Land Unknown captures the moral cost of displacement and the relentless pull of hope.
Nominated for the TIFF People’s Choice Award for Best Film, Cannes Directors’ Fortnight Award, and the Gotham Independent Film Breakthrough Director Award, To A Land Unknown is a gripping new Palestinian film about survival, desperation, and the pursuit of freedom.
