We here at the Independent love every piece we run. There are no winners or losers. Having said that, here are December’s winners.
Recalling half a dozen stunners from the year just ended.
Before digging into our New Year’s to-be-devoured stacks, here’s a look back at some of the books we read in 2014 that left a big impression. Hope you find a new favorite among them!
