★ 5Today Will Be Different
Maria Semple
One chaotic day in the life of a woman coming apart at the seams. Semple is very funny; I love how her brain works.
★ 5The Heart of Winter
Jonathan Evison
Ruth and Abe, nearly 70 years married, opposites who somehow made it work. A tender ode to the long haul and all the small forgivenesses it takes.
A Constellation of Vital Phenomena
Anthony Marra
Set during the Chechen wars, and somehow both devastating and full of grace. One of the best debuts I've read.
