Cutting for Stone

“A masterpiece...Not a word is wasted in this
large-than-life saga...The writing is graceful, the

wisdom.”

Olive Kitteridge
by
Elizabeth Strout
“Funny, wicked and remorseful, Mrs. Kitteridge is a
compelling life force, a red-blooded original. When she’s
not onstage, we look forward to her return. The book is a
page-turner because of her.”
–San Francisco Chronicle

The Given Day
by
Dennis Lehane
"Like E. L. Doctorow in
Ragtime,
Lehane captures the sense of a country coming of age,
vividly dramatizing how the conflicting emotions and
tortured dreams that drive individual human lives also send
a nation roiling forward."

A Long Way Gone
by
Ishmael Beah
“A breathtaking and unselfpitying account of how a gentle
spirit survives a childhood from which all innocence has
suddenly been sucked out. It's a truly riveting memoir.”
