No Time Like the Present
No Time Like the Present: A Novel
by Nadine Gordimer
No time like the present (8/12/2015)
Gordimer provides the reader with a realistic picture of contemporary South Africa.
Mary Coin
Mary Coin

The Truth Behind the Photograph (7/23/2013)
This well-written novel teaches the reader the importance of looking behind the photograph, removing the layers to discover the truth. The iconic photo by Dorothea Lange is the heart of the novel. Mary Coin brings to mind The Dollmaker by Arnow and The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck, as well as The Girl with the Pearl Earring. Highly recommended for book groups.
The Sisters Brothers
The Sisters Brothers: A Novel
by Patrick Dewitt
Sisters Brothers (12/10/2012)
This is not your traditional western. Yet it has many of the characteristics of the genre, e.g. language, dark vs light, romance of the west, etc. It also has a lot of laugh-outloud humour, a characteristic not usually associated with westerns. Highly recommended for fans of literary fiction.
Foreign Bodies
Foreign Bodies: A Novel
by Cynthia Ozick
Must Read (10/18/2012)
Ozick is a brilliant writer & Foreign Bodies is a "must read" for book clubs.
Faith
Faith: A Novel
by Jennifer Haigh
Faith (7/4/2011)
Well-written novel of a family facing a crisis. The reactions of the characters feel remarkably true. Highly recommended for book clubs.
