What an interesting selection. So far I've only read Elena Ferrante’s Troubling Love. It was ok but a little disappointing after everyone had raved about her writing. The books of hers, I wanted were out of stock on the shelves at Waterstones, except for this one. Maybe that was a clue. Anyway looks like I need to dig into her blacklist further.

Very interesting selection and some new reading ideas for me. I love Strout's books and Oh William is one of my favorites. And you must read the classic A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It is one of the best books I have ever read about girlhood. I can still remember where I lived in my earlier life when I read this fabulous book.
