Here are a few books I've enjoyed recently and would recommend to others. Links take you to Amazon, for reviews and more information:
Girl In Hyacinth Blue, by Susan Vreeland Follows a Vermeer painting through eight families over three centuries. A wonderful read!
Le Mariage, by Diane Johnson The perfect beach/snowstorm book! L’Affaire by Diane Johnson
Not as zippy as Le Mariage – and not the romp one might expect, given the title – but worth the read. Amsterdam, by Ian McEwen Taut, tense morality play. Will leave you breathless!
