Excerpt from Dee’s 2015 holiday letter:  We’re still reading – some books I liked this year: Kate Atkinson, A God in Ruins; Angela Fluornoy, The Turner House, Eleanor Morse, White Dog Fell From the Sky; Jill Leovy, Ghettoside; Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me; Elizabeth Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction; and, in South Africa, finally read Mandela’s A Long Walk to Freedom. Allan discovered Emma Hooper’s novel Etta and Otto and Russell and James, a quirky but short novel that has to be read rather than explained, and after enjoying Louise Erdrich novel A Round House, read several more: The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, The Master Butchers Singing Club, and The Painted Drum.
