The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman was reviewed by Maureen Corrigan on NPR’s Fresh Air. This story about social manners in Silicon Valley during the dot-com era, featuring two sisters with opposite personalities, has been described as "updated Austen [that] hits the spot."Room by Emma Donoghue has been nominated for the UK’s Man Booker Prize, and will be published in the U.S. in September. The Guardian calls it, "Perhaps the most controversial novel [on the nomination list], inspired by the case of Josef Fritzl who kept his daughter prisoner for 24 years," and The Economist says, "…it is already being talked about as the next The Lovely Bones."
The Power, the follow-up to Rhonda Byrne’s bestseller The Secret, is due out on August 17. The New York Times noted that the publisher has planned an initial print run of 2 million copies, and describes The Power as "a handbook to the greatest power in the universe - the power to have everything you want."
