Just Out, and Most Talked About:
Goodreads says this is "A tense, page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a family–and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she hoped for–and everything she feared."
This is a thriller that takes place in the English countryside in a village that has a past to protect...
This sounds like a fun, yet bittersweet novel in the vein of A Man Called Ove and Where You'd Go Bernadette?

Get a Little Cultured:

Author, Radha Vatsal On My Nightstand:
Watch for This:
Coming in April, a fast-paced survival story where three strangers are thrown together after a devastating earthquake hits L.A. (sounds very like The Nature of Fragile Things (above)...It would be interesting to read them back-to-back.)
