Alon Preiss’s Thirtover Novels are an acclaimed, loosely linked series of stories set around the world during the 1980s. They can be read in any order.

They include In Love with Alice, which Foreword Reviews calls “a complex, magical web of love, betrayal, and secrets that spans years and continents,” and A Flash of Blue Sky, which Kirkus Reviews praised as a “complex literary drama that’s heavy on symbolism and existential angst, [with] a lively sense of humor.” An as-yet-untitled third Thirtover Novel is set for publication in 2018.
