Euphoria is about cutting-edge research and revolutionary ideas, but inevitably it is also about the complications within the scholars relationships when societal norms are stripped away, and love, greed, jealousy, and control are left unfettered. Artfully narrated, alternating between first person and third person as well as journal entries, King s novel offers a unique view into these rich and complicated characters. Katie McDougall, Parnassus Books, Nashville, TN Next Life Might Be Kinder: A Novel, by Howard Norman (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $26) Norman s new novel has the elements that make all of his previous novels so superb: the elegant writing, an omnipresent sense of place, an exploration of love, and the tension of a quiet center punctuated by bursts of violence. The story of Sam Lattimore in the aftermath of his beloved wife s murder is erotically charged, mysterious, and haunting. You shouldn t miss it. Carole Horne, Harvard Book Store, Cambridge, MA

The Testament John Grisham, Dell, $ The Hit David Baldacci, Grand Central, $10 Another Indie Favorite On Sal Mal Lane: A Novel, by Ru Freeman (Graywolf Press, $16) In 1983, the Sri Lankan tensions between the Tamils and the Sinhalese broke into civil war. On quiet, secluded Sal Mal Lane, the Horvaths and their neighbors are not sheltered from the turmoil, and the prejudices of the greater world find their way onto their secluded street. The coming of age of the children on Sal Mal Lane and the loss of one innocent in particular shatters their world. On Sal Mal Lane is a beautifully written, heartbreaking story of a foreign yet somehow familiar time and place. Ellen Richmond, Children s Book Cellar, Waterville, ME

Another Indie Favorite for Ages 4 to 8 Following Papa s Song, by Gianna Marino (Viking Juvenile, $16.99) From the mystery of the sea comes this delightful tale of Little Blue, a curious young whale who ventures out a little too far alone, only to remember the wise words of his father. The vivid illustrations help us to visualize Little Blue s journey both with his father and when he goes out on his own. Children will love the serenity of this story.
