THEN:
The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society
by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
This surprising novel arrived under the radar last year, and has built a loyal following since.

Fact is stranger than fiction: the subject matter was the author’s lifelong passion, and sadly she died before she saw her novel published.

NOW:
The Women by T.C. Boyle
In this fictional portrait of architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright, from the perspective of four women who loved him, Boyle is a master of the “semi-historical” story, as evidenced in his acclaimed John Harvey Kellogg portrait Road To Wellville. Needless to say, Frank Lloyd Wright is in safe, if not highly capable, hands.
