Wally Lamb recommends
The Hunt Club (1998)
(Huger Dillard, book 1)
Bret Lott
"I turned the pages of The Hunt Club so insistently that, had there been pictures on the pages instead of print, it would have made a movie. IT'S THAT SUSPENSEFUL."
The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green (2004)
Joshua Braff
"I read it compulsively, rooting every step of the way for its flawed and fractious characters."
Dwelling Places (2006)
Vinita Hampton Wright
"Few novelists are as wise and compassionate as Vinita Hampton Wright, and few novels are as moving as this one. Dwelling Places broke my heart and renewed my spirit."
Breathe the Sky (2009)
Chandra Prasad
"Breathe the Sky brings us into Amelia Earhart's cockpit and her psyche. From lift-off to landing. [this] is a novel that soars."

The Halo Effect (2017)
Anne D Leclaire
