Go Gentle
Maria Semple
Go Gentle is Maria Semple's fourth novel, published by Putnam and Sons in 2026. In the novel, the protagonist, Adora Hazzard has reinvented her life as a Stoic philosophy scholar. She is living in the historically famous Ansonia building in Manhattan. Adora's Stoic ideals are put to the test as her daily routine turns into a "madcap comedy" mystery involving museum bombings, a stolen statue, a strange European broker, and a chaotic trip to Paris. Go Gentle was selected by Oprah Winfrey as an Oprah's Book Club pick. It was also a New York Times bestseller.
