"To Know a Woman" by Amos Oz
Story of a somewhat dysfunctional family, that's the first impression one gets. In reality it is a very profound recount of an Israeli espionage agent trying to regain his footing after his wife's accidental death. So WELL written, and yes, gripping.
( I started now "A Tale of Love and Darkness", so far I'm not disappointed!)
"The Art Forger" by B.A.Shapiro
It is her first novel, I came across it in the NYT art section during the week.
The story is very interesting, based on the looting of 13 work of arts from the Isabella Steward Gardner museum in Boston. The book is not perfect but it sure makes one think about the morality of forgery under certain circumstances.
"My Beloved World" by Sonia Sotomayor
This is the memoir of our Supreme Court Judge. Interesting, well written. One can talk a lot about it!
"The Bookseller" by Mark Pryor
This book brings you in the middle of Paris and has you going for a good "ride" à la Sherlock Holmes!
The writer is British, lives in Austin TX and is an assistant district attorney.
This is his first novel, he crated Hugo Marston and it is planned to be a character of many more books. Next one on its way.
