Kate Atkinson’s Case Histories made a respectable, if not winning, showing in this summer’s reading list poll, and it climbed closer to the top of my post-summer pile. After reading the intertwining stories of loss, deception, and—sometimes—hope, I put several of Atkinson’s other books on my wish list. The stories within Case Histories had just enough, and just the right, details to pull me in and keep me enthralled. And Atkinson has a sixth sense for how much to give away to keep both interest and suspense at their peaks.
Definitely recommended.

I just finished Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri and LOVED it! She is SUCH a talented and perceptive writer. Let me know if you want me to mail it to you. :)
