Buzzy Books
New titles from heavy hitters
Paris for One and Other Stories
Jojo Moyes. Penguin/Dorman. ISBN 978-0-7352-2107-9
According to our review, in this “vibrant” collection containing one novella and eight short stories, Moyes, author of Me Before You (adapted into a film of the same name), “once again focuses primarily on heroines who discover their deeper strength and learn about themselves during periods of emotional strife.”
Small Great Things
Jodi Picoult. Ballantine. ISBN 978-0-345-54495-7
Picoult has few peers in creating ripped-from-the-zeitgeist fiction. In her latest, she taps into racial tensions with a page-turner inspired by an event in Flint, Mich., in which a white supremacist father refused to allow an African-American labor and delivery nurse to touch his newborn.
Today Will Be Different
Maria Semple. Little, Brown. ISBN 978-0-316-40343-6
On the day she decides to be her “best self,” cult cartoonist Eleanor Flood spirals from one catastrophe to the next. As we wrote in our review, it’s another “sharp, funny” read from Semple, author of the 2012 hit Where’d You Go, Bernadette.
The Whistler
John Grisham. Doubleday. ISBN 978-0-385-54119-0
According to our review, here’s a “high-stakes game of gambling, greed, and murder” that “plays out in another page-turner from a master storyteller.”
