'And the Mountains Echoed' Khaled Hosseini
It’s been nearly 10 years since Hosseini’s dark horse debut hit, The Kite Runner, was published. He returns with (in his own words), “a multi-generational-family story as well, this time revolving around brothers and sisters, and the ways in which they love, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for each other.”
'Golden Boy' by Abigail Tarttelin
It's the story of the seemingly perfect Walker family—two successful parents and two handsome sons, Max and Daniel. But when Steve Walker launches a Parliament run, the family is pushed into the spotlight and a secret Max has been keeping is uncovered.

'The Son' by Philipp Meyer
The Son is an epic story of power and dynasty in Texas over 150 years—and it's a modern classic.

'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.
