'The Red House' by Mark Haddon
An dazzlingly inventive novel about modern family, from the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. (Doubleday)
'Heading Out to Wonderful' by Robert Goolrick
(Algonquin) The author of the smash hit A RELIABLE WIFE returns. This time, the setting is 1948 Virginia, and a mysterious man rolls into town with only two suitcases to his name. But it's when he becomes involved with the wife of the richest man in town that things really get complicated.
'Beautiful Ruins' by Jess Walter
Jess Walter's latest is a little lighter than his last two novels—it deals with Hollywood and unrequited love rather than the aftermath of 9/11 or the implications of our financial crisis. The action begins on the coast of Italy in 1962, where a young man glimpses a beautiful actress and falls in love. Fifty years later, he heads to Hollywood to find her. (Harper)

'Broken Harbor' by Tana French
From the publisher: In Broken Harbour, a ghost estate outside Dublin - half-built, half-inhabited, half-abandoned - two children and their father are dead. The mother is on her way to intensive care. Scorcher Kennedy is given the case because he is the Murder squad's star detective. At first he and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is a simple one: Pat Spain was a casualty of the recession, so he killed his children, tried to kill his wife Jenny, and finished off with himself. But there are too many inexplicable details and the evidence is pointing in two directions at once. (Viking)

'Where We Belong' by Emily Giffin
A successful TV producer in her 30s sees her life come crashing down when the child she gave up for adoption 18 years ago comes knocking on her door.
- 21 August 2012
'Winter Journal' by Paul Auster
Facing his 63rd winter, internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster sits down to write a history of his body and its sensations—both pleasurable and painful.
Thirty years after the publication of The Invention of Solitude, in which he wrote so movingly about fatherhood, Auster gives us a second unconventional memoir in which he writes about his mother's life and death. Winter Journal is a highly personal meditation on the body, time, and memory, by one of our most intellectually elegant writers.
