Literary Fiction

Night of Miracles
Elizabeth Berg
A Ladder to the Sky
John Boyne


The feel-good book of the year, Night of Miracles is a delightful novel of friendship, community, and the way small acts of kindness can change your life.

Sweeping across the late twentieth century, A Ladder to the Sky is a fascinating portrait of a relentlessly immoral man, a tour de force of storytelling, and the next great novel from an acclaimed literary virtuoso.
