Dark Matter has the intrigue of a timeless thriller, the mystique of the metaphysical, and an emotional poignancy that twists the heart. It begins with easy normalcy, with the life of Jason Dessen, a college physics professor who lives in Chicago with his beloved wife and son. From there it careens into a mind-bending and frenzied fight for love and life. I scarfed down this book in one day because that’s how good it is. - Sairsha

I’m excited to read Villoro’s God Is Round, not only because it’s about the sport I love but because it examines soccer comprehensively, looking at the sport’s potential to unite cultures and also including entertaining information about the game. God Is Round is directed at soccer aficionados as well as novices, and seems perfect for anyone who wants to take a deeper look at the effects soccer can have on the world.  —Sairsha

In 1984 an assassination attempt was made on the British Prime minister at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England. In his novel, High Dive, Jonathan Lee uses this attack as a stimulating backdrop for the intertwining lives of Dan, an IRA recruit; Moose, the hotel Deputy General Manager; and Freya, Moose’s daughter. Using brief, beautiful prose and crisp wit, Lee intermingles these three lives in a series of poignant moments that ultimately culminate in a violently life-altering event.  —Sairsha
