Blaise’s July Recommendation

A Thousand Pardons by Jonathan Dee

“This is my favorite new novel I’ve read this year.  I’ve realized a common theme about books I love.  They remind me of a friend telling me a great story and that’s how I felt about this novel.  A literary novel, but with a plot, the story follows a family of three, stay at home mom Helen, lawyer husband in crisis Ben, and their 12 year old adopted daughter Sara.” -Blaise

The Dinner by Herman Koch

“The Dinner is at times a biting, humorous satire and at other times makes the reader cringe from its honesty. This dark, fast-paced novel about social norms and familial bonds is already a bestseller in its native Netherlands and across Europe. It was recently released in the US and is receiving a lot of hype- including jacket endorsements from popular American authors such as Gillian Flynn and Scott Smith. Get your name on the hold list now!”
