Historia
Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. If he borrowed your car, he’d return it washed with a full tank of gas. The problem is there’s nobody left in Fred’s life to borrow from. At eighty-two, he’s desperately lonely, broke, and on the brink of homelessness. But Fred’s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of grumpy Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head—as long as his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up.

Historia
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

They were just friends. Best friends. Allies. They spent entire summers sitting on Shiloh’s porch steps, dreaming about the future. They were both going to get out of north Omaha—Shiloh would go to go to college and become an actress, and Cary would join the Navy. They promised each other that their friendship would never change. Well, Shiloh did go to college, and Cary did join the Navy. And yet, somehow, everything changed.

When Lydia takes a job running the Senior Citizens’ Social Club three afternoons a week, she assumes she’ll be spending her time drinking tea and playing gentle games of cards. The members of the Social Club, however, are not at all what Lydia was expecting. From Art, a failed actor turned kleptomaniac to Daphne, who has been hiding from her dark past for decades to Ruby, a Banksy-style knitter who gets revenge in yarn, these seniors look deceptively benign—but when age makes you invisible, secrets are so much easier to hide.

Resumen del Editor
**An instant National Bestseller!**
A July 2024 LibraryReads Pick!
By the acclaimed author of Moxie, a funny, bighearted adult debut that is at once an ode to educators, a timely glimpse at today’s pressing school issues, and a tender character study, following a sprawling cast of teachers, administrators, and staff at a Texas high school
With its ensemble of warm and unforgettable characters, The Faculty Lounge shows listeners a different side of school life. It all starts when an elderly substitute teacher at Baldwin High School is found dead in the faculty lounge. After a bit of a stir, life quickly returns to normal—it’s not like it’s the worst (or even most interesting) thing that has happened within the building’s walls. But when, a week later, the spontaneous scattering of his ashes on the school grounds catches the attention of some busybody parents, it sets in motion a year that can only be described as wild, bizarre, tragic, mundane, beautiful, and humorous all at once.
In the midst of the ensuing hysteria and threats of disciplinary action, the novel peeks into the lives of the implicated adults who, it turns out, actually have first names and continue to exist when the school day is done. We meet: a former punk band front man, now a middle-aged principal who must battle it out with the schoolboard to keep his job; a no-nonsense school nurse willing to break the rules, despite the close watch on their campus, when a student arrives at her office with a dilemma; and a disgruntled English instructor who finds himself embroiled in even more controversy when he misfires a snarky email. Oh, and there’s also a teacher make-out session in a supply closet during a lockdown.
As these people continue to manage the messiness of this school year, there is the looming threat of what will become of their beloved Baldwin High. Ultimately, at the heart of this unconventional workplace novel is a story of the power of human connection and of the joy of finding purpose in what it is we do every day.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“The witty dialogue will keep readers’ interest, and the social observations are topical and current… highly entertaining and fun”—Library Journal (starred review)
“This is a hell of a way to start the school year, announces a teacher in the opening pages of Jennifer Mathieu's delightful novel, a celebration of teachers who remain heroically human in nearly impossible times. Likewise, The Faculty Lounge is a hell of a way to announce a major new voice in adult fiction. I loved it.”—Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Celebrants and The Guncle
"The Faculty Lounge is painfully incisive and hilariously honest. Jennifer Mathieu takes readers behind the classroom doors, into the hearts and minds of a deeply relatable cast of public school educators who remain delightfully human and singularly courageous in the face of the superhuman expectations placed upon them. An exceptional read."—Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It

Historia
Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Love Letter to Teachers
Wow. I am so glad I read this book. I absolutely see why the author called it a "love letter" to educators. I found myself and my colleagues of past and present on those pages. I have lived so many of these moments and experiences and felt so many of these same feelings -- like SO MANY. It felt even more special that the setting was not only current but local -- a Houston, TX public school. It tackled familiar personas of REAL students, teachers, and parents, current issues in the field of public ed, and the reality that teachers are only human -- PEOPLE with lives and feelings and pasts and families and hearts. This is admittedly not my genre, and I normally find character studies boring, but it was my connection that made me love this book. Had this been about any other group of people from any other institution or organization, I would likely have passed it by. Thank you for bringing us to life in the page, Mrs. Mathieu.

School Life
This is a charming peek behind the scenes of faculty life in a large High School in Houston, Texas. At times very funny, at other times sad. It’s a tribute to the educators who devote their lives to teaching young people, particularly in a public school setting.

I love this book!
I’m a long-time teacher. Mathieu does a phenomenal job of capturing teachers’ humanity and dry wit and worries and challenges and… I could go on and on. Mathieu considers this book to be a love letter to teachers. Mark it as received and appreciated by this veteran who has seen it all. Thank you for writing this beautiful book.

Not for me
Jennifer Mathieu has written some of the most important young adult novels in the past decade. I had hoped her foray into adult novels would contain some edge. THE FACULTY LOUNGE looks into the lives of faculty and staff of a Houston area high school.
Billed as humorous, I found THE FACULTY LOUNGE to be more quirky than funny. Each chapter presents a story of one faculty, staff or administration, almost like stand alone short stories.
Though a substitute teacher dies of old age at the beginning, THE FACULTY LOUNGE has no mystery or tension. Though well-written, I was bored with the story. I have several teacher friends, so nothing surprised me about the parents or administrators. Teaching is hard work and not a job that can be phoned in.
Plenty of people enjoyed THE FACULTY LOUNGE more than me.
