NEW HEATHER'S PICK
Indigo CEO and Chief Booklover Heather Reisman is announcing a new Heather's Pick for February: The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel.
Many people dream of escaping modern life, but most will never act on it. The Stranger in the Woods is the remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods
of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality — not out of anger at the world, but simply
because he preferred to live on his own.
In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in
Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest.
He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was caught stealing food.
This is a vividly detailed account of Knight's secluded life – a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about
solitude, community, and what makes a good life.

immediately focuses on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story. What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling
of a family—a chilling tale of deception, duplicity and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking
twist.

INDIGO'S STAFF PICK OF THE MONTH
Indigo's Staff Picks program is the perfect place to start looking for your next favourite book. Each month we choose
the book that Indigo employees at home office and in stores love the most, and what we think our customers will love.
The Staff Pick of the Month for February is Swimming Lessons by Claire Fuller. In this spine-tingling tale,
Ingrid Coleman writes letters to her husband, Gil, about the truth of their marriage, but she
never sends them. Instead, she hides them within the thousands of books her husband has collected. After she writes her final
letter, Ingrid disappears.
Twelve years later, her adult daughter Flora comes home to look after her injured father. Secretly, Flora has never believed
her mother is dead, and she starts asking questions, without realizing that the answers she's looking for are hidden in the books
that surround her. This is a must-read title for fans of puzzles and intrigue.
