Oprah Winfrey has selected Mary Lawson's novel "Solace in Winter" for her book club, according to an ABC News wire report. The report, published November 10, 2026, said Winfrey named the novel her new book club pick.
CBS News also published an item on November 10, 2026, describing the novel as Winfrey's "November book club pick" and offering a reader's guide to the book. CBS News identified Lawson as the author of "Solace in Winter."
The two reports differ only in wording. ABC News called the selection Winfrey's new pick, while CBS News called it her November pick. Neither report describes the two framings as conflicting, and both identify the same novel and the same author.
The available summaries do not describe the plot of the novel, its publication details, or any statement by Winfrey or Lawson about the selection. The CBS News summary refers to its guide but does not list what the guide contains beyond its general purpose.
Neither report names a city of origin for the story, and neither gives a byline for the author of the report itself. The timestamps on both items are the only dates the reports provide.
