Hulse (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $24) “This debut set in the American West follows Wes Carver, a former corrections officer whose passion in life was playing the fiddle until his hands were ruined during a prison riot. Years later, following the loss of his wife to cancer, Wes returns to the small prison town in Montana to scatter his wife’s ashes and to speak at the parole hearing of the inmate who ruined his life. He struggles to accept the possibility that the inmate has found God, especially as his own faith is hanging on by a thread. Hulse’s writing is like the river at the center of her novel, a quiet surface covering raging emotions, and her descriptions of music are breathtakingly beautiful.

Another Indie FavoriteTheWivesofLosAlamos:ANovel,byTaraSheaNesbit(Bloomsbury,$16) “In 1943, families of mathematicians and scientists, escorted under high security, move to Los Alamos, New Mexico. Not knowing where they’re going or why, these wives from all over the world cut their ties with friends and relatives to live in isolation. Based on the history of the development of ‘The Gadget’—the atomic bomb—this novel reads like a collective diary of hundreds of wives. This unique first-person plural recounting of real events culminates with varied reactions to the use of this powerful weapon on the people of Japan. Nesbit portrays these delicate issues brilliantly!” —JaneMorck,ThirdPlaceBooks,LakeForestPark,WA
