Dear readers,
It seems that in every book I read I discover a little piece of myself hidden among the characters. It's rarely an obvious connection to the protagonist, but often some minor character flaw I can relate to or a shared passion that I identify with. I encountered a few versions of myself among the many endearing, richly developed, and fully relatable characters found in this month's selection of books. I guarantee you'll find at least one that speaks to you. In The Clover House, the powerful debut from Henriette Lazaridis Power, you'll hear from two strong female characters: Callie, a present-day first-generation Greek American who returns to Greece in search of answers and identity; and her mother, Clio, a girl in Greece during WWII. In another impressive debut novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe, by Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham, you'll meet aspiring actress Franny Banks whose wit and charm will win you over as she struggles to make it big in the Big Apple. And two proven experts at creating memorable characters, Sophie Kinsella and Elizabeth Berg, each return with new novels that ardent fans and first-time readers alike are sure to enjoy.
Happy Reading!
Rochelle
