I Served the King of England

Bohumil Hrabal

Anthony Marra

It’s about a bellhop in Prague and follows his fortunes through the 20th century. Hrabal got his start as a realist poet so the novel is filled with all these arresting images. It’s probably the book that I’ve reread the most.

Tom Lake

Ann Patchett

Anthony Marra

A plot summary cannot do justice to this book’s beauty, candor, and yes, kindness. Ann Patchett has outdone herself yet again. I loved it.

Happiness Falls (Good Morning America Book Club)

Angie Kim

Anthony Marra

Happiness Falls is one of those rare novels I would recommend to just about anyone…The book succeeds as a missing-person mystery, a coming of age story, and a family drama…It’s wonderful.
