Khaled Hosseini is a best-selling author whose novels have sold more than 38 million copies worldwide.
He returns with another gem of a novel that revolves around a multi-generational story that is emotional and equally provocative. It deals with relationships and the choices one makes that effect generations to come.
With profound wisdom, insight and compassion, Hosseini demonstrates once again his deeply felt understanding of the bonds that define us and shape our lives—and of what it means to be human.
This book is on everyone's must-read list this year.
Inferno by Dan Brown

Dan Brown's ability to enthrall his audiences with codes, riddles and secret passageways is masterfully captured in yet another novel.
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, is drawn to Dante's Inferno, an epic 14th century poem that puts him on a dark quest to find answers.
Inferno begins with the now familiar art historian and 'symbologist' Robert Langdon waking up injured in a hospital bed with no memory of the past few days.
It ends with a third of the world’s population rendered infertile through an act of global bioterrorism and with larger questions about the balance between individual and social good and the ethics of scientific, genetic manipulation.
The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
