Big families, bigger secrets
Houses full of the unsaid.
Book 1 The Bee Sting
Paul Murray
READ IT An Irish family's money and marriage coming apart, in four voices that finally collide. Funny until it is devastating. Read it.
Book 2 Wellness
Nathan Hill
FOR SOME A marriage from the 90s art scene to the algorithms of midlife. Sprawling, smart, could lose a hundred pages. Rewarding if you stay.
Book 3 Hello Beautiful
Ann Napolitano
SKIP IT Little Women moved to Chicago, four sisters and a sad young man. Earnest and soft-focus. Sweet, and slight.
