Instead of vowing vengeance after their beloved daughters are killed, two men, one an Israeli and the other a Palestinian, work to bring their wounded nations together. This is a powerful examination of a seemingly unquenchable conflagration, fueled by mistrust and hatred, that has consumed the peace and wellbeing of the people who live in its path. Unsparing in its commitment to bring the carnage into vivid relief for the reader, this novel is also an eloquent plea for the immeasurable value of simply putting the weapons aside and talking to one another. McCann has utilized a strikingly original concept, enriching his book with historical tributaries that give the central story a sad, tragic,and ultimately uplifting ring of truth. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

In a departure from her hugely popular, annual Nantucket beach book, Elin Hilderbrand looks back at the summer she was born, 1969, and how an island family's three generations of women are affected by that decade's politically dynamic ending. With each chapter head citing rock music lyrics, Hildebrand highlights the Aquarian age's dawn, when while men team to land other men on the moon, send sons to play hero in other men's fight against Vietnam, and abandon the women they marry and impregnate, the women still suffer unwanted sexual advances, self-sacrifice, and the alibis needed when men live like a Kennedy at Chappaquiddick. ~ Reviewed by Ray Marsocci

This is one of the few novels that I have immediately fallen in love with and dared to declare a literary masterpiece. Told with a large cast of female characters, I became enraptured as I saw their stories weave together to uncover the mysterious disappearance of two young girls and the history behind the Russian peninsula they all inhabit. ~ Reviewed by Laura Knapp
