I'm currently recommending WAKING LIONS by Ayelet Gunnar Goshen. It's a thoughtful tale focusing on the most difficult questions an individual and country can face. There are harsh ethical dilemmas faced by well developed characters. Not a profound story but suspenseful to the very end.
So glad to find something that holds my interest! They've been few and far between!!
Below are some notable titles releasing soon.....Thankyou Bookreporter.com
