Jill Norgren, Diane Girard and Julia Sneden review:

Abigail & John:  Portrait of a Marriage helps to regender early American history which remains overly focused on generals and male political leaders. Nothing Sacred is a spare, subtle, literary collection of short fiction, but not pretentious in any way. Olive Kitteridge, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel now in paperback, gives a deep sense of the connectedness of the small town and its inhabitants and Olive’s place in the scheme of things.
