The Story of the Lost Child by Elena Ferrante: The fourth and final of the Neapolitan novels by a pseudonymous Italian author, The Story of the Lost Child is the finale to a fascinating bunch of books about life, love, friendship, motherhood and, oh yes, politics. Is it exaggeration to say that Elena Ferrante is our Tolstoy? Maybe she's more like Trollope, with a bit of Knausgaard and Peyton Place thrown in. - Sara Nelson
The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood: This dystopian fantasy is about a social experiment gone horribly awry. In order to keep the unemployment rate in check, participants volunteer to go t
