Other Indie FavoritesBellman & Black: A Novel, by Diane Setterfield (Atria/Emily Bestler Books, $25)“A stone thrown, a bird killed—this single thoughtless act committed as a boy will shadow William Bellman for the rest of his life. Setterfield’s atmospheric new novel follows William’s seemingly charmed life through successes, marriage, and fatherhood, until the sudden appearance of a stranger in black signals a change in the trajectory of William’s good fortune. With echoes of Dickens, Poe, and Grimm, Setterfield’s tale offers fascinating historical details even as it raises the hairs on the back of the reader’s neck.” —Kristine Kaufman, The Snow Goose Bookstore, Stanwood, WA

Vanished: The Sixty-Year Search for the Missing Men of World War II, by Wil S. Hylton (Riverhead, $27.95) “Of the more than 56,000 servicemen and women of WWII whose resting place remains a mystery, two-thirds lie somewhere in the Pacific. Hylton’s fascinating account documents the search and recovery efforts of the devoted teams dedicated to finding these brave soldiers and bringing them home. By focusing on the crew of one missing B-24 and the man who became obsessed with their fate, Hylton brings the story to a personal and poignant level.” —Betsey Detwiler, Buttonwood Books & Toys, Cohasset, MA

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteMay We Be Forgiven: A Novel, by A.M. Homes (Penguin Books, $16) “Homes’ latest darkly comic novel is more poignant and moving than it appears at first glimpse, and the rudderless, hapless Nixon scholar Harold Silver’s year in the wilderness is more eye-opening than he can at first admit to himself. As Harry grows and grieves in his own way over the course of the insanity-laced year, we are happily along for the ride, unquestioningly loving the person he becomes. A truly remarkable feat of storytelling that both pulsates with the underlying ache of loss and manages to crack a couple of your ribs when you laugh too hard. —Seth Marko, UCSD Bookstore, San Diego, CA
