From Judy Kennedy: Here’s what one of our favorite authors, Chris Bohjalian, has been reading this summer. Thought some of you might be interested in his choices. By the way, his new novel, The Flight Attendant, is one of his best — and very timely, since it’s about Russian spying, not flying! Thanks, Judy
Some of you have asked what I’ve been reading this summer – before the summer comes to an end. In alphabetical order, here are some of my favorites. I can recommend them all with unfettered enthusiasm:
- Cristina Alger, The Banker’s Wife
- Jennifer Egan, Manhattan Beach
- Megan Maclean Weir, The Book of Essie
- Stephen King, The Outsider
- Ann Mah, The Lost Vintage
- Paula McLain, Love and Ruins
- Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
I’m currently reading (and loving):
- Megan Abbot, Give Me Your Hand
- Jodi Picoult, A Spark of Light
Editor’s note: Another Louise Penny from Mette Lian on 11/11/18: “Kingdom of the Blind“. I guess I’m going to have to start with her first book and get reading! I’m busy reading “Sapiens” which is both astonishing and fascinating.
