Non-fiction Snapshots this time, of pilots in WWII, slum-dwellers in Mumbai, and the "lasting political damage" caused by the retreating British empire. Terrific reads all!
Today, a serving of fiction for every taste and mood. Enjoy!
A recurring feature showcasing recently released books that book clubs may find interesting.
We highlight two novels that explore our contemporary financial and social dystopia from wildly different points of view. Want a change of pace? Spend some time with "rare creatures and people . . . sometimes too compassionate for their own good." Megan Mayhew Bergman's debut short story collection delights.
These snapshots range from turf battles in the Irish underworld, to Hindu-Muslim religious and generational struggles, to Jeanette Winterson's witty and affecting memoir of her horrific childhood. Good reading all.
Just in time for Mothers Day, three excellent and very different books about mothers and daughters.
From the emerald diamond to a walk down the mean streets of New York City, travel with this week's snapshot to places new and familiar.
We showcase a stunning debut short story collection, Monstress, and a period novel, Gillespie and I, that cleverly explores manipulative love. The Forest Laird is a fictional biography of William Wallace. And for a biography of the greatest photo-documentarian of our generation, read A Different Light, The Photography of Sebastião Salgado.
