IS IT OUT OF THE ORDINARY NOT TO BE MISSED? (04/15/2013)





Ordinary Grace by William Kent Kruegar is one my choices for a "NOT TO BE MISSED" book for Spring.

From New York Times bestselling author, William Kent Krueger comes a brilliant new novel about a young man, a small town, and murder in the summer of 1961.

On the surface, Ordinary Grace is the story of the murder of a beautiful young woman, a beloved daughter and sister. At the heart, it’s the story of what that tragedy does to a boy, his family, and ultimately the fabric of the small town in which he lives.

It is a moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God.

TWO MORE ON "NOT TO BE MISSED" LIST

MIDDLE C, by William H. Gass.
From its opening notes, this unquiet story about a family of Austrian emigrants — fakes and fraudsters who have cast themselves as Jews — is designed to detonate its middling title.



HOW TO GET FILTHY RICH IN RISING ASIA, by Mohsin Hamid.
Disguised as a self-help book, Hamid’s novel traces a nameless hero’s journey from poor boy to corporate tycoon.
