Brookline Bookseller and UBC specialist Natasha recommends:
A stunning novel offering an arresting meditation on love, jealousy, fidelity, marriage and the way humans crave, mature and love. Part Tolstoy (for philosophy and psychology woven throughout), part Proust (for descriptions of desire and aesthetic sensibility) and part Forster (for multifaceted female characters and stunning settings).

Mr. Fox keeps killing off his heroines until his fed-up muse comes to life and tries to help him break his rut. Chapters alternate between the story of Mr. Fox and the genre- and setting-spanning novel beginnings he and his muse develop. An ingenious and playful modern fairy-tale.

A transporting novel that will leave you as seaswept as the island on which it is set. A young witch, despised by the community uses her magic to bring wives out of seal skins. As the human women are jilted and leave for the mainland in droves, the island changes irrevocably.

Richard Yates meets Emily Bronte in 1950s England. An engrossing and gut-wrenching love story - you know the kind - where they're young and in love but don't admit it and then time passes and families happen and they realize that they're still in love but it might be too late. Might be.
