I was Told to Come Alone by Souad Mekhennet
The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman
The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
Friends Divided by Gordon S. Wood
Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney
Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan
Fellow Travelers by Thomas Mallon
