Wolf
Hall: A Novel
by Hilary Mantel
This
is a wonderful English novel, one that explores the intersection of
individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of
characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back
history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, molding
itself with great passion and suffering and courage. |

The
Breach
by Patrick Lee
Lee's
debut thriller pits ex-con ex-cop Travis Chase against increasingly
dire odds as the action ratchets up like levels in a complex video
game. Fresh out of prison, Travis sets out on a solo Alaskan trek,
wanting nothing more than quiet time for introspection. Then he
encounters a downed plane containing the dead bodies of the United
States' first lady and several others, plus hints about a mysterious
missing item.

Winter
Garden
by Kristin Hannah
Meredith
and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at
home to raise her children and manage the family apple orchard: the
other followed a dream and traveled the world to become a famous
photojournalist. However, when their beloved father fails ill,
Meredith and Nina find themselves together again, standing alongside
their cold, disapproving mother, who even now, offers no comfort to
her daughters.
