'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.
- 28 May 2013
'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.
- 4 June 2013
'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.
- 11 June 2013
'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.
- 18 June 2013
'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.

Trailer Tuesday: ‘The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady’
To get a feel for the batty, chipper, wonderful weirdness that is The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady by Elizabeth Stuckey-French, all you have to do is watch this trailer: The novel is about the 77-year-old Marylou Ahearn, who is … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: Orson Scott Card’s ‘The Lost Gate’
When I was in eighth grade, my group of friends reverently passed around Ender’s Game like it contained the Secret of Life. So though I don’t usually count fantasy at the top of my favorite genres, a new book from … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: ‘The Poison Tree’
We gave you a preview of Erin Kelly’s debut, The Poison Tree, way back in September—and I don’t know about you, but I was sold from the moment the book was mentioned in the same sentence as Donna Tartt. Here’s … Continue reading
