   Nov 15, 2021 · Recommended: I recommend Daughters of War (#1 in a Trilogy) for fans of fast-paced and well-written WW11 historical fiction, for readers who love a story of siblings and complicated family drama, and for book clubs. Although the story has a satisfactory ending some details hint at what could be next in the trilogy.

   • Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. (Knopf) 28 Rave • 24 Positive • 6 Mixed. “Klara and the Sun confirms one’s suspicion that the contemporary novel’s truest inheritor of Nabokovian estrangement—not to mention its best and deepest Martian—is Ishiguro … Never Let Me Go wrung a profound parable out of such questions: the embodied suggestion of that novel is that a free, long, human life is, in the end, just an unfree, short, cloned life.
   • No One is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood. (Riverhead) 31 Rave • 13 Positive • 7 Mixed. Read an interview with Patricia Lockwood here. “Now Lockwood has put that strength into her first novel, No One is Talking About This, which leaves no doubt that she still takes her literary vocation seriously.
   • Crossroads by Jonathan Franzen. (FSG) 32 Rave • 12 Positive • 7 Mixed • 1 Pan. “… a novel that takes the religious beliefs of its characters seriously, without ever forgetting how easily faith can twist itself into absurdity … is light on curmudgeonly social commentary.

   • Transcription by Kate Atkinson. Juliet Armstrong reflects on her life in 1940, when she was recruited by MI5 to spy on Fascist sympathizers in the heart of London.
