Kym recommends:
The Woman in the Window is a twisty, Hitchcockian, thrilling mystery, and is 100% unputdownable! Anna Fox's solitary existence in her New York brownstone is filled with watching black & white mystery movies, drinking wine, and keeping tabs on her neighbors through her windows. She's suffering from PTSD, and is separated from her family for unknown reasons. She is fascinated by the new, seemingly picture perfect, family who moves in next door, and she compulsively spies on them. Then she sees a horrific event and must figure out what's real, and what's part of her paranoid agoraphobia. The way A.J. Finn crafts this brilliant novel is perfection itself, both an homage to Hitchcock and fabulously original.
Caitlin recommends:
Anne Fadiman, author of the delightfully nerdy
Ex Libris, writes about her literary father, Clifton Fadiman, radio personality, editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster, book critic, and the captaining force behind his Book-of-the-Month club. While his career in the literary world is extraordinary, Fadiman lovingly depicts him as a cheerful bibliophile who adored wine. This unusual semi-biography shows the complicated relationship between two writers, Fadiman often in her father's shadow, a self-described "oakling" in publishing. She draws on the loves they shared--words, good food, travel--and the things they didn't--wine. This memoir is lovely, filled with photographs, event menus, and even Clifton Fadiman's personal wine reviews, written on scraps of paper. You don't need to be a wine connoisseur to appreciate this sweet family story.
Michelle recommends:
