The Mark Twain Library staff has compiled a handy list of the best recent
fiction and
non-fiction. The titles were chosen from among those that received starred reviews in among other sources Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews.
Like all lists, there are always some
afterthoughts. Here are two more great summer reads.
Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
Funny, campy and so very touching. Effortlessly weeds its way from an tiny Italian coastline town in the 1960's to the present. What do the famed actor Richard Burton and and a small village hotel owner have in common. Read and enjoy.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Marriage can be a real killer. The author takes that statement to a dark place in this fast paced work about a marriage gone terribly wrong. One reveiw source thought it was a mix of sharp-edged wit with deliciously chilling prose" and " a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn."
