 stina Baker Kline</strong> is the #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling a
 uthor of ten novels\, including&nbsp\;<em>Orphan Train</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>Th
 e Exiles</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>Please Don&rsquo\;t Lie</em>&nbsp\;(with Anne Bu
 rt). Published in more than 40 countries\, her novels have received the Ne
 w England Prize for Fiction\, the Maine Literary Award\, and a Barnes &amp
 \; Noble Discover Award\, among others\, and have been chosen by hundreds 
 of communities\, schools\, and universities as &ldquo\;One Book&rdquo\; se
 lections.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Spanning five decades and unfolding against the
  backdrop of a fractured nation hurtling toward war\,&nbsp\;<em><strong>Th
 e Foursome</strong></em>&nbsp\;is both intimate and epic: a story of love 
 and constraint\, identity and reinvention. With piercing insight and emoti
 onal precision\, Kline brings to life a forgotten chapter of American hist
 ory and the complex\, boundary-defying marriages at its center.</p>\n<p>Wh
 en Eng and Chang Bunker arrive in Wilkes County in 1839\, they&rsquo\;re n
 ot just a curiosity&mdash\;they&rsquo\;re a sensation. Everyone is eager t
 o learn whether the salacious rumors about them are true. Within months\, 
 the twins have opened a general store\, bought land\, and begun building a
  plantation. Now\, word has it\, they&rsquo\;re looking for wives&mdash\;a
 nd in a place that thrives on gossip and legacy\, their ambitions set the 
 community on edge.</p>\n<p>Sarah and Adelaide Yates\, daughters of a once-
 prominent local family brought low by scandal\, are drawn into their orbit
 . Bold\, beautiful Adelaide sees in the twins&rsquo\; fame a chance to rec
 laim her future. Sarah\, quiet and observant\, isn&rsquo\;t so sure. When 
 the twins&rsquo\; lives become entangled with theirs\, they must navigate 
 loyalty\, longing\, and identity in a world where everything&mdash\;includ
 ing race\, class\, and gender&mdash\;is rigidly defined.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>
