There's something for everyone in this mixed bag of April Paperback releases. According to Amazon, Kindle book sales outperform Paperback sales...but so what, here's the list!
BROKEN HARBOR by Tana French (Psychological Thriller)
Mick “Scorcher” Kennedy plays by the book and plays hard, which is what puts the biggest case of the year into his hands. On one of the half-built, half-abandoned “luxury” developments that litter Ireland, Patrick Spain and his two young children are dead. But Broken Harbor holds memories for Scorcher, and working this case could resurrect something he thought he had tightly under control.
THE SANDCASTLE GIRLS by Chris Bohjalian (Historical Fiction)
THE SANDCASTLE GIRLS, Chris Bohjalian's 15th book, is a spellbinding tale that travels between Aleppo, Syria, in 1915 and Bronxville, New York, in 2012 --- a sweeping historical love story steeped in the author’s Armenian heritage, a subject his legions of fans have been asking him to write about for years.
THE WORLD WITHOUT YOU by Joshua Henkin (Fiction)
On July 4, 2005, the Frankel family descends upon their summer home in the Berkshires for a memorial to Leo, the youngest Frankel sibling, who was killed while on assignment in Iraq a year before. Over the course of three days, the Frankels will contend with sibling rivalries and marital feuds, volatile women and silent men, and, ultimately, the true meaning of family.
BLOOM: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected: A Memoir by Kelle Hampton (Memoir)
When Kelle Hampton learned she was pregnant with her second child, she and her husband were ecstatic. But the moment her new daughter was placed in her arms in the delivery room, Kelle knew that something was wrong. She was certain that Nella had Down syndrome --- a fear her pediatrician soon confirmed
THE ROOTS OF THE OLIVE TREE by Courtney Miller Santo (Fiction)
Meet the Keller family, five generations of firstborn women --- a line of daughters unbroken --- living together in the same house on a secluded olive grove in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California. Told from varying viewpoints, Courtney Miller Santo’s debut novel captures the joys and sorrows of family --- the love, secrets, disappointments, jealousies and forgiveness that tie generations to one other.
The Roots of The Olive Tree looks really good. I love family sagas so I hope my library has it in the system.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound good. It won't be out in paperback until the end of the month...the library should have it in hardcover. Hope you enjoy it..let me know..
