Crossroads
Jonathan Franzen
Franzen at his most humane — a Midwestern pastor's family quietly coming apart in the early '70s. Dense and totally absorbing.
The Wedding People
Alison Espach
A woman checks into a grand hotel at her lowest and gets pulled into a stranger's over-the-top wedding. Warmer and funnier than that sounds.
The Wangs vs. the World
Jade Chang
A Chinese-American family loses its fortune and road-trips across the country. Funny, chaotic, and warm.
