'Trans-Atlantic' by Colum McCann
This latest novel goes from 1849 to 1918 to 1998 and explores the relationship between America and Ireland, slavery and freedom and war and peace.
'Big Brother' by Lionel Shriver
Inspired in part by Shriver's own relationship with her brother, who died of complications from diabetes and obesity in 2010, this is an unflinching look at the toll of obesity on family relationships.
'Sparta' by Roxana Robinson
Robinson takes on the issue of soldiers returning to the home front. Conrad enlisted after college, served his time without major incident, and comes home to his girlfriend and family. But he is unable to ease back into everyday life—and his bitterness turns into anger that might have serious consequences.

'The Engagements' by J. Courtney Sullivan
In her third novel, Sullivan looks at the idea of marriage and how it has changed—or not—over the decades, tying her story in to the 1940s De Beers ad campaign that made the diamond engagement ring a touchstone of American culture.

'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' by Neil Gaiman
This new modern fable—which, at 192 pages, is more of a novella—tells the story of a man who returns to his native English village and suddenly realizes the cost of the horrible evil he fought as a child, with the help of Lettie Hempstock and her extraordinary mother and grandmother.

'The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells' by Andrew Sean Greer
Greta Wells experiences three alternate lives during a therapy session, all with different secrets and losses, pain and happiness. Which one will she ultimately choose?

Sittenfeld returns with the story of twin sisters: Vi, a professed psychic, and Kate, a wife and mother in denial of her talents. When Vi predicts a devastating earthquake is around the corner, Kate must decide whether to support her sister and out herself for the potential good of the community, or continue to ignore her own instincts.

Trailer Tuesday: Ashley Judd’s ‘All That is Bitter and Sweet’
I blogged about Ashley Judd’s “memoir with purpose” more than a year ago, and the book is finally on sale a week from today. Though I usually feel a bit ho-hum about celebrity memoirs, the book trailer for Judd’s All … Continue reading

Naked werewolves & a secret under the peach tree
Hooked you with that headline, didn’t I? For today’s Trailer Tuesday post, I thought I’d share a couple of short book trailers that are not related in any way (ha). First up: a preview for Sarah Addison Allen‘s The Peach … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: ‘When the Killing’s Done’

Trailer Tuesday: Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man
Memoirs about addiction—whether to alcohol, shopping or anything else—will likely never go out of style. Case in point? Bill Clegg’s Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man, published yesterday, sold to Little Brown for a reported $350,000 and is … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: Girl in Translation
Jean Kwok‘s novel Girl in Translation came out a couple weeks ago, and we highlighted it in our spring debuts blog post, as well as in the May edition of BookPage. In her review, Becky Ohlsen described it as “no … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: Tess Gerritsen’s ‘Ice Cold’
Ice Cold is Tess Gerritsen‘s eighth book in the Rizzoli & Isles crime series, and if the trailer is any indication, this book will be creepy, adrenaline-pumping and a page-turner. The novel follows Boston ME Maura Isles to the seemingly … Continue reading
