(Debuted at #9 in Hardcover Fiction) The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant: “Eighty-five-year-old Addie tells the story of her life to her twenty-two-year-old granddaughter, who has asked her “How did you get to be the woman you are today.” She begins in 1915, the year she found her voice and made friends who would help shape the course of her life.” (December 2014)
(Debuted at #13 in Paperback Fiction) My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante: “The story begins in the 1950s, in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow, as their paths repeatedly diverge and converge, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected and refracted in the other.” (October 2012)
(Debuted at #15 in Hardcover Nonfiction) Deep Down Dark by Héctor Tobar: “When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped thirty-three miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking sixty-nine days.” (October 2014)
