Other Indie FavoritesThe Improbability of Love: A Novel, by Hannah Rothschild (Knopf, $27.95) “A girl, a painting, and a cast of delightfully quirky characters are at the heart of Rothschild’s debut. At the intersection of London’s art auction houses and the pursuit of a dream, Annie navigates her way through the city’s wealthy and aspiring elite as she juggles her mother’s eccentricities with her own quest to become a chef. Funny, smart, and satisfyingly clever, The Improbability of Love will warm your heart and give you pause the next time you admire that old painting hanging, so innocently, on the wall.” —Lisa Baudoin, Books & Company, Oconomowoc, WI

Corrupted: A Rosato & DiNunzio Novel, by Lisa Scottoline (St. Martin’s Press, $27.99) “At 12, Jason is chubby, buck-toothed, and bullied every day by Ritchie. Philadelphia trial attorney Bennie Rosato tries to help Jason when he gets in trouble for fighting back. Thirteen years later, that same bully is dead, Jason appears to be the killer, and once again Bennie is called to help. As always, Scottoline’s dialogue is excellent, legal terms are made easy to understand, characters are richly drawn, trial scenes are vivid, and there are huge, well-hidden surprises. I enjoyed it immensely!” —Susan Wasson, Bookworks, Albuquerque, NM

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteAmerican Copper: A Novel, by Shann Ray (Unbridled Books, $16) “Every once in a while a book falls into your hands that is so beautifully written, deeply affecting, and powerful that it burrows into your heart and stakes a lasting claim. American Copper is such a book. Ray’s novel is a triumph—an ode to the majesty of the early 20th century Montana landscape, a tender evocation of the passions and sorrows of its people, and a piercing look at the ravages of racism, greed, and violence. This is a stunning portrayal of the scope of the human spirit and of the many paths to grace.” —Laurie Paus, The Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle, WA
